Engage with ALL of the secondary source readings related to the issue question. This means attending to the main argument of each source, not simply citing each source.
Utilize direct evidence, including at least 3 primary sources, to support your analysis.

Ask yourself, does the reader need to know this to understand my argument? Does this information support my argument? If the answer to both of these questions is no, don’t include it.
