Project 3 Outline

This post is about laying out my project and the skeleton of what that will look like. To do this, I will be answering questions from the book, Writing Public Lives.

For my introduction, my goal is going to be to make the audience think about the situation. The picture above mentions introducing current events or news reports. My topic, the raising of the minimum wage, has lots of articles and news on it that I can bring up in my introduction.

Bottai, Sean. Developing Strong Supporting Paragraphs.

Supporting Paragraphs:
1. Inflation
Companies not being able to afford it
Job loss

2. People not able to live off of current minimum wage
There is no job loss
Other countries trying the same thing and it worked

3. Companies not being able to afford it is very important
People not being able to live off of minimum wage is an important point to address

4.
 Raising the minimum wage may sound good at the moment, but what happens when the companies have to lay people off because they now can't afford as many workers?

Big companies will outsource jobs. Small companies will have to lay off workers, and likely to go out of business.

Although people right now can't take live off of the minimum wage, it won't help anymore if the company lays them off because it can't afford to hire as many workers.

Bottai, Sean. Concluding Strategies. 

Conclusion:

My talk radio segment will probably wrap up by making a call to action. The entire segment will be about why raising the minimum wage is bad so I think that concluding with a call to action would be good.
