Option 1
===
 * Article title
 * Psycholinguistics


 * Article Evaluation
 * - Page already exists-- Add to it.
 * - The page is about the psychological and neurobiological factors that allow people to produce and comprehend language.
 * - All focused on spoken language.
 * - Could add a sign language section-- could also maybe add a little bit about what happens when people are deprived of language at a young age and connect that to the deaf community and ASL as well.

Option 2
===
 * Article title
 * Educational Psychology


 * Article Evaluation
 * - This page has a lot more information on it overall, compared to the psycholinguistics page.
 * - Full history, different perspectives, conditioning and learning, technology, and other categories.
 * - I think similar to what I said above, deaf education and ASL could be incorporated in some way.
 * - There is also a sections for types of teaching and research, so maybe some information could be added there-- again, there is a big focus on verbal language.

Option 3
===
 * Article title
 * Language acquisition


 * Article Evaluation
 * - there is already a section at the end about sign language and being deaf.
 * - there is a small little overview about being deaf and language acquisition and how it is still similar to hearing babies.
 * - there is a signed language acquisition section.
 * - Biggest section is on cochlear implants-- large focus on how they help deaf people hear and that they need to get them at a young age in order for them to work the best.
 * - Only one sentence on how sign language is important to learn so they are not deprived of language during the critical period-- could definitely add more here.

Option 4
===
 * Article title
 * Sandra Mae Frank


 * Article Evaluation
 * - I don't know if this really fits the course, but she is a Deaf actress who has been on Broadway and in a lot of TV shows. I'm really into musical theater and thought I would look up her up on wikipedia to see if she has a page, and she doesn't.
 * - In terms of theater, she has been in productions that are performed in English and ASL simultaneously, which is really interesting to watch when knowing both languages, to see how the script is translated and how it brings out different aspects of it.
