  11. APARTY Author:Who wrote / created this document? How do you know? What do you know about this person or organization? What is this author’s point of view? How could what you know affect how you process this document? Place & Time:Where and when was this produced? How do you know? Why does this matter? How might this affect your analysis of the document? Audience:For whom was this document created? How do you know? How might this affect your analysis of the document? Reason:Why was this document created? What did the author hope would happen as a result? What did they want? The Main Idea:If you were to reduce this document to a short simple sentence or two, what would it say? Note: this is not the same as explaining what this document is about. What is it saying? Yeah: So What?Why is this source important? What is there to be learned from analyzing it? To put it another way, why did your teacher have you read or examine this?
