Option 1

 * Article title: African- American Art
 * Special:Notifications


 * Article Evaluation: While this article has interesting/important information, it is very short considering it is supposed to include information about ALL African-American artists from the pre-colonial era until now. I would contribute to this article by doing more researching and finding more information on various African-American artists.

Option 2

 * Article title: List Of Ethnic Slurs
 * Article Evaluation: I think that this article is very interesting and important for us as future teachers to understand. Something that may not seem offensive to us could in fact be very offensive to our students. This article contains a large amount of words that are considered slurs but does not include a list of things such as various hand gestures that may be considered offensive to various people.

Option 5

 * Article title: Lagrange, Georgia
 * Article Evaluation: LaGrange is the town in Georgia I am from. It is a very small town so I did not expect there to be much information about the town. If I were to improve this article I would add more historical information, as well as cultural information about the town since I am from there and have a fair share of knowledge.
