Option 1[edit]

Racism on the Internet
Article Evaluation: This article has a C-rating and mentions topics such as "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace", but doesn't give very full context for these topics that are relevant to the overall article. Also, there is discussion for whether the article should be merged with the online hate speech article.

Option 2[edit]

Culturally relevant teaching
Article Evaluation: This article is rated C-class but High importance under the Wikiproject Education page. I noticed the article needs citations, includes sections that don't need to be included, and certain paragraphs that need to be expanded on.

Option 3[edit]

Special education in the United States
Article Evaluation: This article is in need of many citations. Additionally, the wording could be better and the "African-Americans in special education" section is in need of major revisions. Furthermore, the last three sections need to be elaborated on. The article also needs more information about Special Education classrooms vs. entire schools dedicated to Special Education. Also, a section on COVID-19's impact on Special Education could be included.
