How To Effectively Analyse A Source for History A-Level?

I'm doing my A-Level History NEA on the witch trials throughout Europe, I have my sources picked out but I'm not sure how to analyse and talk about them. Any help would be great, thank you!!

Start by figuring out who wrote each source, when, and for whom. Check how trustworthy each source is and look for any biases. Compare the views shown in different sources. Connect every source back to your main point to show how it either supports or questions your argument. Once you have a draft, you can start writing your essay and get feedback on Tilf website, then you keep building from the feedback.
