Option A
Using the Eight Elements of Reasoning that were outlined in week two (purpose, problem, information, concepts, assumptions, inferences, points of view, implications, or consequences) choose a news article and break it down according to those elements. Make sure you address each of these elements. If one of these elements does not apply to your article (rare), address that in your essay and explain how the article could have been improved by including it or how the author is justified in leaving it out.
Option B
Describe how each of the Eight Intellectual Standards (clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness) were used or not used in the article, supported by an example. If one of these standards does not apply to your article (rare), address that in your essay and explain how the article could have been improved by including it or how the author is justified in leaving it out.
For either option you choose:
Write an introduction identifying the reasons for choosing either Option A or Option B and justify your reasoning.
In the conclusion of your essay, describe how you feel the article is biased.
Keep in mind, for either option you are being asked to analyze the article/author itself/himself/herself, NOT the topic discussed. Do not include your own opinion/position on the topic being addressed.
Your completed assignment should be 500-750 words in length. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to identify them. If you use any direct language from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.

editorial board of the Bloomberg. It was about the lessons from the bankruptcy of the largest U.S
coal miner, the Peabody Energy Corp. The eight elements of reasoning will be addressed
according to how they have been used and evidenced by this article (Board et al., 2016).
