Milestone Assignment
Overview: For your final project in this course, you will write a critical essay in which you use critical thinking skills to examine an argument presented in an article that is associated with your chosen topic. You will examine the argument's logic, reasoning, bias, and credibility, and then apply the same critical thinking skills to developing your own alternative argument. You will then reflect on how you can apply this process to other areas and situations in your life.
In the Module One journal assignment, you chose a topic and article that you will focus on for your final project. In this milestone, which is a first step toward the successful completion of your final project, you will introduce the article that you have chosen and begin to assess and analyze the argument asserted in the article.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: To begin your essay, you will formally introduce your real-world topic. As the foundation of your paper, your introduction should engage the audience and establish any necessary background.
