Option 1 (Smithsonian list)

 * Article title (title of link)
 * Paola Velez

rating: start class
 * Article Evaluation (start class, gaps, brief evaluation)

missing: career section, occupation. no in depth description about her business. not much on early life. nothing on education

missing important aspects of her life. The article isnt necessarily messy but is lacking so much information it's could be describing anyone. The grammar is not horrible although there is not much to judge. Should be more information on bakers against racism since she did co found it as well it appears to take up a big portion of her life
 * Sources ( important, use some data bases from school, find at least 3 good sources)
 * https://www.proquest.com/central/docview/2535809922/5539E469D77B4410PQ/1?accountid=11091 info about pastries with paola

Option 2

 * Article title (favorite)
 * The Last Lecture


 * Article Evaluation
 * -rating: start class
 * - missing: characters (i dont think this section should be entirely long but it should mention the influential people in his life) synopsis is extremely short, the book is not very long but each chapter should be included in the synopsis because they all teach different lessons. the structure is not very clear. Computer science was a big part of his life and his work yet it is only mentioned once. Unclear where the editor is getting most of their information from in the background section, and this is the longest section of the article. also missing the most important section (theme) this story is about life lessons and they are barely touched upon in this article

Option 3

 * Article title
 * All Boys Aren't Blue


 * Article Evaluation
 * -Rating: start class
 * -missing: characters, themes, genres/style
 * -Contains a high amount of references, but there is not a lot of information on the topic. I feel that some of them can be eliminated.
 * -the plot synopsis is severely lacking. It only had roughly 60 words, compared to the plot synopsis on a book article rated b class (Pride And Prejudice) is around 1000 words. Pride And Prejudices plot is more extensive but i still think more can be added to this section for All Boys Aren't Blue.
 * - I feel there should be more information on the adaption of the book. Explain more about what was included in the film and what was left out that was in the book
 * - i think that controversy can be grouped under reception it doesn't need its own category. Controversy is apart of reception, even if people have differing opinions that still considered to be how that person received the story.

Option 4

 * Article Evaluation

 * - sources appear to be reliable
 * - article is messy, no clear structure, it doesn't flow, can get confusing on what part of the article you are in.
