Do an analysis --Often the above questions are enough. However, if you need a more detailed analysis, make a rough list of the sub points and topics of the article, paragraph by paragraph, along with the reasons the author gives for believing these points to be true. (Are there any strong assertions that seem controversial? Look for strongly stated opinions that may not be supported sufficiently. Ask your tutor or other students to respond to the quotes you have picked out. Are their responses similar to yours?)
