Option 1

 * Article title:African-American Vernacular English:
 * Article Evaluation:The article is informative, providing an understanding of AAVE's linguistic features, historical development, and the sociolinguistic dynamics at play. It manages to capture the complexity of AAVE, avoiding oversimplification and acknowledging the diversity of opinions and evidence regarding its origins and status. The article even provides sound clip examples of AAVE. Additionally, while the article mentions the sociolinguistic continuum and code-switching, a deeper exploration into the social implications, such as perceptions of AAVE within and outside the African American community and its impact on identity, could provide a more rounded understanding of its significance.

 * African-American Vernacular English and education:
 * Article Evaluation:The article is a thorough and informed piece that provides an understanding of AAVE.

"Black critics [of Black English] use all the different arguments of the white critics, and spare us the more or less open embarrassment that all white Americans feel when publicly criticizing anything or anyone Black. So, of course, they can be even more wrong-headed and self-righteously wrong-headed than anyone else ..." Quinn (1982:150–51).

Option 3

 * Article title https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Vernacular_English:
 * Article Evaluation :This article needs a bit of work. There is not that much information. The article did include sound bites. I think there could be a lot of work done. Some of the work seem inaccurate. Some of the language seems a bit informal.
 * Sources:Only four references were listed.

Option 4

 * Article title African-American English:
 * Article Evaluation:This article differs from term AAVE. This is AAE. I believe this is considered an outdated term. This article seem to do a good job giving background information and explanation to what AAE is.
