• How is it relevant?
• What is the overall context? (Help the reader understand the situation)
• Why do you care? (Help us understand where are you situated as an author)
• Why should we care? (What is the thing we did not know and you are telling us)
• How is it connected to human rights?
• How do you intend to approach the topic? (Describe your method or style)
• How is the text articulated? (Give a preview of how the rest of the text is structured so that a reader can properly follow you).
