Option 1

 * Article title
 * Human animal communication
 * Human–animal communication


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discusses the ways that humans and animals are able to communicate with each other. The article goes on to examine how birds are able to communicate and their uniqueness within the animal kingdom. I also found it interesting as the article discussed some of the experiments that took place to study primates and how their communication relates to humans. I enjoyed the historical context given and found the article easy to follow due to the language and examples given. I think that the article could have provided some examples of communication with animals from another perspective such as the lack of communication between some animals. Being able to provide another perspective would have been nice to create the full understanding. The article also provided numerous references to back up their claims which helped to strengthen the arguments of the article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Hurtful communication
 * Hurtful communication


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article spends a good amount of time defining what hurtful communication is and breaking down the definition into different categories. I thought that the language used was a slightly higher level than the prior two articles. I enjoyed how the article went into the different applications that hurtful communication most commonly exists through romantic and parent-child relationships. I found it interesting reading the affects that the hurtful communication can have upon a persons mental health and thought processing. While the article had some more difficult language, the overall structure of the article was broken down simply and felt very cohesive from step-to-step. They also provided a number of refernces to help provide additional information to everything they had aforementioned in the article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Hashtags
 * Hashtag


 * Article Evaluation
 * Hashtags have become one of the biggest ways that we communicate over modern day social media. This article discusses the creation of hashtags and how it came to relevance. I thought that the language used is fairly easy to follow and appeals to a wide range of audiences. I also found it interesting as the article discussed how hashtags have impacted change in the world. The article could have provided some information as to other forms of media that have adapted such as hashtags. They could have also mentioned some of the negative affects that have come from the use of hashtags. The article also included 69 relevant references that help to back up claims and give more context to the arguments made.
