Wendy Kopp

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
We split three articles up amongst my group that has to do with our topic on Teach for America. Stephanie read the article about Teach for America, Renee read the one about Teach for All, and I am reading the one about Wendy Kopp who is the founder of both organizations. I think it is really interesting to learn about the face behind these massive organizations that have gained such traction since they were created and how they came to be. I also am always intrigued by the motives of founders and what sparked their ideas surrounding their area of study.

Evaluate the article
I thought this article was short but insightful and probably included most of the information you really need to know about Wendy Kopp. Usually when I see a super dense and long article about a person I get immediately turned off from wanting to read it. I like the way this one was formatted and the flow was very nice. Right from the start the Lead section was concise and told me clearly, exactly what I was looking for to read. Content wise I feel like there could have been a little more about her but I think they kept it to just the general history and background of how she createdTeach for All which is what people are probably looking for when they visit her page (she also had an impressive list of awards including and honorary doctorate from Connecticut College!). I did not realize how important tone was especially in a Wikipedia article because I always forget that they are edited by people. I think the article on Wendy had a very neutral tone and did not feel biased in any way. I think she was fairly represented.
