1:What is the argument?
2:Am I persuaded?
3:Did they sufficiently support their argument with outside sources/evidence? (broad use of evidence here, includes survivor voices, shared experiences, data, patterns, etc., just something that contributes to a body of knowledge on a subject that makes your paper something more than just your own unsubstantiated opinion) (and unsubstantiated does not mean wrong; you might be right, your own experience is valid, AND this is an academic assignment for which outside sources can bolster your topic/claim/argument).
