Option 1

 * Article title: School Violence
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is relevant to my topic because it talks about the different types of school violence and what contributes to those types. The one thing I wish this article had was information on school shootings. This article is written in a neutral tone, but it doesn't have much synthesizing between the sources or categories. Almost all of the claims have a citation, but I am noticing that for some topics it is the same sources over and over. There are a lot of sources in this article that are reliable and cover the SIFT sources. The talk page for this article is full of edits, which shows me that they are paying attention to this article.
 * Sources:
 * I could use my sources about the possible causes of school violence to support my information.

Option 2

 * Article title: School Shooting
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is relevant to my main topic because it covers more specifically school shootings than the entire topic of school violence. There are a lot of areas in this article that say a citation is needed, which shows me that it is possible that some of the editors might not have cited their sources before making their claims. There are a lot of sources for this article, but I am unsure if all of them are reliable since I see some of them are from nursing journals.
 * Sources:
 * I can use my sources about the history to strengthen that category. I could also use my preparedness and trainings/drills sources to build a section for prevention.

Option 3

 * Article title: Arming Teachers
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is the one that I have the most information that I can use towards. I like that this article has multiple sources for each claim as that shows the statement being made has multiple associations. I am seeing a lot of reliable sources in the references section of this article, which shows me that this article is well covered. I am seeing a lot of people on the talk page that have been in a few discussions with each other about recent and past edits, which lets me know that if I work on this article that I will need to communicate a lot with others.
