Option 1

 * Article title: English Studies:
 * Article Evaluation: I found this article to be biased in the way of swaying readers to think studying English or majoring in it is a waste of time. It also has almost no information of English studies before the college level. This article also is missing tons of citations, with dozens of markings saying citations are needed. I would mostly work on either high school english studies or career opportunities. :

Option 2

 * Article title: Persuasive Writing:
 * Article Evaluation: This article seems to only have very surface level information on the topic and I believe it can be expanded if I dove into research about this writing style. Maybe add a section recognizing its importance? There is also a surplus of the use of persuasive writing in education that I could use. :

Option 3

 * Article title: Teaching English as a second or foreign language:
 * Article Evaluation: This article has a lot of citation issues. I think that there could be some additions of citations in the sections about TEFL in specific countries. I like that this article discusses some of the Wikipedia equity gaps. :
