Research paper for English class

Persuasive Paper:

This is a longer paper (1650 word-count minimum) that finds inspiration in any idea about which you would like to persuade your readers.  It can be about, for example, any issue found in our TED Talks, or any issue that you learn about or think about through our class discussions.  The idea and purpose of this assignment is for you to:

1. Find a topic of interest to you

2. Research that topic

3. Form your own opinion

4. Write a paper which seeks to persuade me that your opinion is well-founded.  You will try to persuade me to see the issue as you do and to share your opinion.  

This assignment will be more complex than the other assignments, requiring you to choose, define, refine, and research your topic.  You will be required to use reliable sources in your paper as you seek to persuade your reader, and cite these sources correctly.

It is about "why textbooks are expensive?"
