  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
    • The information is a little all over the place. There is an outline but the information does not connect very well and is out of order.
  • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • There is some bias in this article, but for the most part is is neutral.
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • The culture aspect is underrepresented, the education of the aztecs has a lot of information though.
  • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
    • There are many citations that are needed and some citations are incomplete. There are not any links to the sources.
  •  Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? 
    • Most of the references are from university article websites. I am not sure if these are appropriate sources or not, but majority of the sources all come from one place so the information is not cross referenced.
