Option 2

 * Article title
 * Writing Process


 * Article Evaluation
 * The images associated with the article were unhelpful and seemed almost irrelevant. Gets distracted from the actual writing process and dives into the types of writing styles which distracts from the main points. Dives into history which doesn't seem entirely necessary as it distracts from the main points of the writing process.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Punctuation


 * Article Evaluation
 * Dives into the printing press which is distracting from the rest of the article as it doesn't pertain to the history of punctuation or how punctuation is used. Lacks citations which would need to be added or possibly replace this uncited information with sources that can be cited.

 * Article Evaluation
 * Many missing citations and what appears to be self-done research. Many facts go completely uncited and have no flag for a missing citation. Would need to be fact checked and cited.
