Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it was an interesting topic and it is about what we are studying in class. I wanted to learn more about the study as a whole and gain a better understanding. This topic matters because it is important to understand why environmental studies are important. I first thought that it was about this article would be about the origin of the topic. (Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.

Evaluate the article
Evaluate the article: I think that this article is not the best. It lacks a lot of information; however, the information provided is good and from scholarly sources. The article is unbiased and includes a lot of information about the topic itself. The information could still be better organized and expanded upon, but for the most part, the article is clear and concise. I also think that if there were more photos, the article would be stronger. The lead section was very good, but it might have been better if there was more of a broad overview and less of trying to explain everything in a small section. There is not that much to go off of in the article, so I think if there was more information, it would be a lot stronger. Another weakness is that it needs to explain things in a clearer way.
