Option 1

 * Article title
 * Composition Studies


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section is concise and offers a good explanation of the article. There is a large difference in size between sections about the levels of writing and the section-language writing, which implies a lack of sources and information about the different levels of college writing.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Rhetorical Modes


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section is concise but lacks information. Sections are all a reasonable length, suggesting good support all around. Article offers a full analysis of its topic.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Persuasive Writing


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section is small and lacks information about the major topics. Article itself is short and could certainly contain more information for such a topic. Lack of citation on sections of the article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Source Bias


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is no sections other than the lead section, which merely defines source bias. Much more could be written about this subject.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Echo Chamber (Media)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section does a good job of summarizing an echo chamber, but does not give the reader any kind of rundown of the major sections of the article. The article does a good job of explaining the topic, providing its research (and the difficulties in doing said research), and it differentiates echo chambers from other similar concepts.
