INDIVIDUAL PROJECT THREE
NAME: JAMES LETHCO
TOPIC: ARE TATTOOS APPROPRIATE IN THE WORKPLACE?
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION STRATEGY USED:
After I choose the topic sentence to write about, I used freewriting as one of my invention strategies. I like using freewriting when beginning a writing assignment because when you have your topic sentence in front of you and start concentrating on your topic, the writing process begins to flow more freely from thought to paper. The key to freewriting is to write everything that comes to mind about that topic at no more than fifteen minutes at a time, so that your thoughts about the topic will stay fresh. Repeat the freewriting process as many times necessary to get a completed project.
TOPIC SENTENCE OUTLINE
Intro: start with anecdote about tattoos in the workplace
I have three tattoos, I received them when I was in the Army. You are not a man if you do not get a tattoo, while in the military. The Army is more accepting of tattoos than most private companies, although more companies are relaxing somewhat on their tattoo policies.
Thesis: Many employees that work in America have more body art than ever before, but cultural and generational divides require employees to cover up their tattoos.
