Strong Thesis/Weak Thesis Practice

How can we analyze primary source evidence?
1) Choose appropriate text evidence that supports the thesis.
2) Why is this source important? What does it reveal? What does it show/suggest?
3) How does this source connect to the thesis? What is the connection between your thesis and the source?
4) How does this source prove your thesis is true?
