Lead The lead has a clear introduction sentence that opens the article well. The lead does not include every category talked about later in the paper. I feel that the lead is a little wordy and has some things that I would put into the conclusion of the article such as how to promote child development. I think the lead introduces the topic by using basic outlines for the article that are later elaborated.

Content The content added is relevant and up-to-date with the topic of Child Development. The reader gets the idea that child development refers to the sequence of physical, language, and emotional changes that occur in a child from birth to adulthood. The added information is relevant because the first five years of a child’s life are the most important - when a child becomes the person they are going to grow up to be. There are a lot of small and open topics in the “Cognitive/Intellectual” section that can be elaborated on.

Tone and Balance The information added is unbiased and neutral. They explained things very academically and the information added is very useful for each of the theorists and the stages. They also showed all sides of the child’s development such as cognitive, emotional and physical which help the reader to understand all parts of a child’s development.

Sources and References Yes. All the content is backed up by a secondary source that is valid. The sources have reliable content when relating to child development across all media platforms.

Organization The content is very well written using concise language and sentence structure. The article also sounds very scholarly which shows the reader a clear sense of mastery of the topic. The content is well placed with similar topic placed together and in order.

Images and Media The article does not have many images to represent what is being discussed in the article itself. There is an image at the beginning with a summary of the article. The next image is 10 sections after the summary in the “mechanisms” section. I strongly suggest adding more images to make a visual appeal to your audience. Make sure you reference your images.

Overall impressions The content has improved the article overall by adding more explanation and detail for the specific parts of a child’s development. The content added it very scholarly and helpful in terms of child development while also including details without being too wordy. The content can be improved by elaborating more on the sections and adding some of the parts from the introduction to the conclusion of the article.
