One narrative approach enables the story to be told. The learning goals of this assignment are to understand how the story (each student selects one of the three assigned stories to discuss) is conveyed to readers and how best does that method of narration achieve its desired purposes (does it succeed or not as an interesting story). The way students approach this assignment is through the music that the storyteller would have selected if he or she has an iphone. In effect, choose one of the three possible stories for this assignment and identify what music the storyteller would listen to if he or she had an iPhone (in the story).
In the first paragraph, identify the storyteller. Is it a character, persona, narrator, pseudonym, or voice of the author? Relate details of plot information to the storyteller’s music and argue convincingly how they fit together. Choose no more than two songs, and perhaps one is better, for an 800-word essay. Obviously, essays will vary considerably from story to story and from student to student; moreover, in the introduction and thesis statement, mention the story, author, and storyteller as well as the music that connects the person telling the story to music and to the storyteller’s experiences.

Larry’s Story (Motivation in the workplace)
Larry is a customer service representative for a large nationwide insurance company. His primary job is to evaluate workers’ compensation claims and provide members assistance in accessing services and financial resources. Larry covers two states, California and Louisiana, and usually has not more than a hundred or so active cases at any given time. All information is electronic, and communication is done through e-mail and phone calls. Larry works five days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a half hour off for lunch. His workstation is a six-by-six-foot cubicle in a large room with thirty other cubicles of customer representatives. He has been in this job for five years now, and is currently making $29,000 a year. He is married and has two children, a six-year-old and an eight-year-old. His wife, Mary, works at a local nursing home as a nurse. If you asked Larry about his job, he would most probably say, “It is a routine job,” but he enjoys interacting with customers and helping them get the services they need. Over the past three years, his performance ratings have been very good. Management had reported in his annual evaluations that he is very proficient at completing his work in a timely and quality manner.
About eight months ago, Larry was asked to participate in a committee on how to improve customer relations. Larry was excited about having the opportunity to contribute his ideas on what he feels are important factors in gaining a customer’s trust and improve customer satisfaction. His enthusiasm and commitment landed him the leadership role for the committee. Over the next several months, Larry worked tirelessly, even taking the committee work home with him to complete. At the end of the project, Larry and his team submitted their findings and recommendations. Management was pleased with the work completed and took the recommendations into consideration. That was now over a month ago, and Larry has overseen his (and the team’s) recommendations being implemented. At home, he still is very active, going to the park with his kids; he enjoys playing ball with his friends and going garage-sale bargain hunting with his wife on weekends. However, over the last few weeks, Larry has been having a hard time completing his daily work schedule. A few members have complained about his lack of attention to their cases, and management is concerned about his work performance. When asked about his performance, Larry replies, “It just doesn’t seem as interesting anymore.” Larry is now considering finding a new job, but management really doesn’t want to lose him.
In a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document, submit the following to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

including resources, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact. Take some time to really consider aspects of each area.
The logic model should be as complete as possible and demonstrate that you have spent sufficient time brainstorming and thinking about aspects of the program (drawing from our readings and other programs you may also have worked with) to develop a robust model. Using the readings and course material, fill in the areas of the logic model and then write a narrative, no more than 2 page double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, describing in detail your logic model. The written narrative should be complete so that the reader does not have to have the logic model in front of them to understand the items in the model and how they flow. Similarly, the logic model should also be able to stand on its own and not require a written narrative to understand what is written.
In your written narrative, you will have a brief introduction to the agency or organization as well as the specific program you will be evaluating. Much of this information may come from a website, be sure to appropriately cite your information. Additionally, you will want to begin drawing from empirical literature (not required now but will be for the final evaluation) for the program or type of agency used in the evaluation.
As stated above, in addition to the introduction to the agency and program, you will also describe in detailed narrative form, your logic model.
