Option 3

 * Article title: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education
 * Article Evaluation: This article seems to be in rather good-shape. I think it would be interesting to focus more on COVID-19 and how colleges are suffering the mass amount of money lost due to not having students back to campus. I am intrigued to find an article where it talks about COVID-19 and the effect it has on college sports and senior-year athletes who may not get the opportunity to play ever again if the COVID-19 pandemic takes yet another season away, that's a more central theme I could add/focus on in this article.

Option 5

 * Article title: Colin Kaepernick
 * Article Evaluation: Being that I am interested in the current events in the world today, I believe that this professional athlete plays a significant role in calling out the injustices where the argument of controversy over his actions is up to debate. Instead of focusing on Kaepernick's career, I would add more about his career as being an influential leader in the Black Lives Matter movement and how big companies like Nike and other professional players has followed in his actions to enhance change.
