Think critically!

  • Check the facts: What other sources can you look at to confirm the information you found? To which primary sources can you refer (eg. interviews, photographs, etc.)?
  • Engage with multiple perspectives: How can you broaden your viewpoint? What does each viewpoint tell you about the topic?
