Civics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article focuses on the origin and history behind civics education. Civics is explained to be a study of the rights and obligations of individuals within a society. I was initially intrigued by the focus of the article, however, I was disappointed with the contents. It was more of a history lesson than an understanding of civics in society today, which would have been an important learning point.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article was written well. It summarized the contents within the article. The article is written in a concise manner. There were no images within this article to evaluate. The article could also use a couple current sources. It mostly utilized older sources from the 1900s. There were many large quotes from classic books. These could be shortened so that it does not take up such a large portion of the article. Additionally, the use of current sources could have allow readers to understand how Civics is relevant today as opposed to simply its origin and meaning.
