What must we consider when examining sources for our project?

Author- Who authored the source? Are they close to the issue you're investigating (For example, if you're researching Star Wars, is your source the director? A key actor? A fan?). The author can have the level of knowledge that helps, or hinders your investigation. Tone- How is the author portraying their argument or point? Are they being needlessly dramatic, or are they taking a more balanced or critical approach to their issue? (For example, a fan of Star Wars might have a very positive or negative attitude to certain things related to the films, and so their points must be carefully considered.)Context- What was the specific context around when the author created their argument or point? Does this context add any more value to what they're saying, or does it possibly detract from what they're trying to get across? (For example, if a Star Wars fan was writing after the release of a new film, how will that affect their views of the older films?)Wider Debate- Some sources stand in the middle of a debate with others. How does the source compare to the wider debate? How is the argument of the source received? Is it criticised? Is it accepted? (For example, a Star Wars fan might really dislike one film, while most people really enjoy it. Does this mean their argument is any less or more valuable?)
