Your argumentative research paper will use academic sources to present an argument about Memphis.

Your argumentative research paper will use academic sources to present an argument about Memphis. While there are obvious topic choices (The Blues, Beale St., Elvis, BBQ, etc) you can localize just about any topic you care about. For example, if you are interested in healthy eating, then you could do research on food deserts or school lunch programs in Memphis. If you are interested in business, then you might do research on FedEx or Autozone and use that research to argue that Memphis is a great place to start a business.

Your goal for this paper should be to improve your argument and to improve your presentation (tone, sentence structure, organization) of that argument. This paper should be 8-10 pages and use a minimum of 8 sources (5 of which should be academic).
