Evaluate the drafted changes
A) Neutral Voice

When reading through the changes Megan is planning on making I thought that she kept a good neutral tone throughout. One part I thought was really done was when she said, "Native Alaskan communities reside on the North Slope and are impacted by the effects of past drilling projects as well as the threat of future projects." I thought that this was a really good example of presenting a situation without adding any personal opinion or bias to it.

A part where I thought could be concerning was the sentence, "The project approval came after Biden established he would not allow more drilling on federal lands" This could bring up feelings or opinions due to the implication of a specific political party.

B) Close Paraphrasing / Plagiarism

I didn't think there were any sentences/sections where there is any accidental plagiarism or paraphrasing.

C) Readability

Overall, I thought the flow of her writing was good! She made impactful statements that were easy to read and felt that there was no unnecessary fluff in her writing. One sentence I did have to reread was, "Native Alaskan communities reside on the North Slope and are impacted by the effects of past drilling projects as well as the threat of future projects." so a suggestion I have is maybe adjusting the wording to, "Native Alaskan communities residing on the North Slope are affected by both past drilling projects and the potential threats of future endeavors."

D) Rubric

I think Megan did a really good job hitting all the points on the rubric at a high level! Other than some wording, I thought this was a great addition to her chosen article.

E) Final Questions / Considerations

Greatest Strength - Megan provided a lot of relevant and impactful information in an unbiased way. Staying neutral and amplifying the original article was one of her greatest strengths for this project.

Areas of Improvement - Just the wording of the sections I mentioned above!
