Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * HighScope
 * The first thing I will say about this article is that many of its sources come from HighScope itself or people associated with the company, which is not good. This does not ensure that the article is written neutrally, and some sentences within the article are opinionated. To balance the neutrality, any opinionated statements should be removed and a criticism section should be added. The article discusses a study that had a sample of African Americans, an often misrepresented group. It is rated Start and does not have an importance rating. There is much to improve.

Option 2

 * Head Start (program)
 * Looking at the talk page, it looks like the information gleaned from sources is selected in a way that is biased. This needs to be corrected so that the article is more neutral. The images and media are relevant, put could possibly be affecting neutrality as well, and they are relatively positively connotated media. The article is organized in a way that is understandable to the reader. Some sections are small and could have more information added to them. It is rated C and of low importance.

Option 3

 * Compensatory education
 * This article is very, very short. Much information on the subject needs to be added. Not all claims are backed by sources either. There is not much to say about the article itself because there is not much of an article present. I would consider expanding on what compensatory education is, where it is conducted, and any known effects of it.
