Honors Project Overview
Honors Project 3: “The Lady in the Looking Glass”
Assignment Instructions
To complete this assignment, first read Virginia Woolf’s “The Lady in the Looking Glass.” As you read, you will
notice that Woolf uses the stream of consciousness narrative technique. Stream of consciousness allows Woolf to
show readers the ways in which the narrator’s observations of Isabella Tyson’s home and garden influence the
narrator’s ideas about Isabella’s character and interior life.
Now is your chance to write like Virginia Woolf. You will see three pictures in the Analyze “The Lady in the
Looking Glass” lesson and in the Honors Project: “The Lady in the Looking Glass” Graded Assignment. Choose
one of the pictures and write a passage of 250–500 words in which you use the stream of consciousness
narrative technique to describe a person associated with the picture. Your passage should be similar to Virginia
Woolf’s story in that its narrator will use the exterior physical details of the picture to imagine a character and the
interior life of that unseen individual. In the final lesson of this unit, you will use your passage to participate in a
discussion.
Here are three rules for writing your passage and several hints to help you as you write:
Rules
1. Your passage must be 250–500 words, and it must utilize the stream of consciousness narrative technique.
Like Woolf’s story, it should be written from the point of view of a third-person narrator.
2. Your passage must describe the physical setting and observable details of the picture you choose.
Remember that these concrete visual elements are what will influence your imagining of the interior life of the
person associated with them, just as the things the narrator observes in “The Lady in the Looking Glass”
influence her thoughts about Isabella Tyson. In essence, examine the picture, and make up a person
associated with the picture. Imagine that person’s thoughts and feelings based on the concrete observable
details of the picture.
3. In your imagining of the unseen person’s interior life, focus on things like his or her experiences, thoughts,
feelings, hopes, dreams, disappointments, failures, achievements, and successes. Describe these personal
and psychological aspects of the unseen person’s character in vivid detail, employing evocative imagery and
figurative language whenever possible.
Hints for Writing
Begin by observing the picture you choose as carefully as possible and describing it in great detail.
•
Where was the picture taken?
•
When was the picture taken?
What objects populate the image? Are they objects generally associated with men or women or both
genders?
•
Is it day or night? Indoors or outdoors?
Describe the colors that you see. Are they vibrant? Are they dull? Are they unusual in any way, or are
they commonplace?
•
What activities, events, or actions are associated with the objects in the picture?
Then move into what you imagine to be the interior life of the unseen person associated with the picture. Make
sure, however, that the concrete physical details of the picture relate to the interior life you describe.

•
Does the person enjoy the place or the objects in the picture? Is the picture of some place or some things
that make him or her happy? Are they symbols of his or her dreams or hopes or aspirations? Or are they
sources of emotional pain or distress? Are they reminders of his or her failures or disappointments? Do
they make him or her unhappy in any way?
•
What type of personality would someone linked to the place and objects in the picture likely have? Is he
or she outgoing or shy? Is he or she friendly or unfriendly? Snobbish or down-to-earth? Rich or poor? Is
he or she highly intelligent? Highly athletic? Easily influenced by others? A natural leader?
•
What specific experiences has the person had with the place or objects in the picture? Is the place
familiar to him or her? Or is it somewhere he or she is visiting for the first time? Are the objects ones he or
she uses every day? Or are they strange and new to the person?
Remember that when you finish writing your passage, you will turn it in to be graded and use it to
participate in a discussion on the final days of this unit. It is very important that you participate in the
discussion during the time allotted, so that the discussion is a success.

Week 3, Application: Communicating a Message to Multiple Audiences
Week 3 AssignmentApplication: Communicating a Message to Multiple AudiencesReal life is not always tidy, and this fact certainly holds true in
public communications. Audiences have multiple characteristics that can
influence how a message should be delivered. As a criminal justice
professional, you must consider how audience characteristics might
influence how a message should be delivered. You should then consider
challenges to effectively communicating a message to that audience. Perhaps you select to use visual aids for a group of 7th grade
children. You then find out that the children attend an inner-city
school with a low reading level and will not be able to understand your
visual aids. Or perhaps they are Non-English speaking children who
might not be able to read your visual aids. Once you begin to consider
the variety of potential audiences, and their distinct characteristics,
the importance of presenting the same message in several different
formats becomes clear. For this assignment, review your video submission from Week 2. Then
select one audience from the list provided. Consider how that audience
might benefit from the message that was delivered in Week 2. Next,
examine characteristics specific to that audience that may influence
how the message should be delivered. Look at potential challenges in
communicating this message to the selected audience. Finally, consider
how your communication might have to be altered in order to deliver
this same message to the new audience.

Whether the situation described in a case is fairly straightforward or is highly complex, the entire problem solving process involves 4 phases and eight steps outlined below. The analysis process will involve four phases:Problem identification and definitionThe process of identifying and defining the problem involves three steps:i) Reviewing the case and identifying and describing the relevant facts.This step allows you to identify the key facts (the most relevant ones) so that you canfigure out what is going on before making a decision. Identify and stating the key factshelps you identify the most important facts. Provide a list of the most relevant case facts. These facts should be organized aroundexternal forces (external environment) that affect an organization including but notlimited to: political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal and competitive; orinternal factors such as management problems, staffing issues, financial, or marketingchallenges. ii) Determining the root or cause of the problemThis step expands on the previous step by identifying the facts in the case that arecontributing to the problem and/or are symptomatic of the problem. In this step, a simplequestion that might guide the discussion is: what are the current challenges faced byXYZ company? Identify all the challenges that the company is facing to includeinternational/global business decisions and ethical/social responsibility issues.iii) Identify the problem componentsThis third part of the problem identification fully identifies the problem and the key components of the problem. An example of part ii) and iii) is below: The current challenges facing XYZ are how to remain competitive and profitable,improve productivity and maintain good employee relations. A number of factors arecontributing to this situation. First, the government has recently passed laws toderegulate the industry. This is causing competition in the industry to increase. Second,widespread adoption of telecommunications and the internet means customers arefinding it much easier to shop around and compare prices. This is also stimulatingcompetition and is driving down prices industry-wide. Lower prices have led to lowerprofits in the industry and the 1% fall in XYZ’s net margin is reflected in the $1,000 000decline in net profit. Consequently, XYZ has been downsizing and recently laid off 10%of its workforce in an effort to cut costs. A recent company survey indicated thatdownsizing has adversely affected employee morale which the management believes isresponsible for the 2% decline in productivity. (XYZ, pp 214-215).Analysis and decision making Most business cases involve decision making. For instance, some might need adecision on questions such as, “What strategy or strategies should company XZYpursue in the future? This decision can be made after an analysis of the company’sstrategy and situation. The final decision will vary based on the data available and theperceived consequences. Analyzing the various dimensions of the decision requiresthree things: decision options or alternatives, decision criteria, and providing relevantevidence (Case Analysis Guideline, n.d). These three steps are below: Generating alternatives (options)Since the case assignment or question requires a solution, a decision or an opinion thenyou need to consider all the options. Brainstorming will help you generate a list ofpossible alternatives. Some questions that are being considered in this case that you must discuss and answer or list as alternatives in this section:a) How could the organization solve the primary challenges and problems problemsidentified in the case and any case questions? List as many alternatives for eachchallenge as possible.b) In addition to the challenges identified propose specific alternatives for thefollowing questions:a. What are the organization’s options for future growth in global markets? Whatmight be potential markets?b. Given the organization’s current financial situation and keeping in mind anypotential impact on return on investment capital to investors, what are the organization’sstrategic options for environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibilityinitiatives?In this step, you do not need to be judgmental; virtually any idea goes but if you do notlist it, you cannot then choose it as the best option. A few examples of company XYZ’salternative solutions:Close XYZ down – the future is bleakDo nothing – the company has already cut costs enoughIncrease productivity- to reduce unit costsEmploy more sales people- to increase sales revenueRun some extensive advertising campaigns- to increase sales revenue and product awarenessDiscontinue company benefits – to reduce costsContinue to lay off staff as needed – to reduce costsImplement voluntary redundancy/retirement and a hiring freeze – to reduce costs.Ask employees to pay a proportional cost of medical benefits – to reduce costs.Evaluate alternativesOnce you have listed all your alternatives, the next step is to narrow them down to thosethat seem most plausible; much like whittling down a long list of new cars to a fewpotential makes and models. After you’ve screened your list, take the relevant facts thatyou gathered in step 1 and apply them to each of the remaining alternatives. Thisprovides you with the necessary supporting evidence to reject most of the remainingalternatives and decide on the best. A few examples are provided below:Deregulation and consumer shopping habits mean competition is likely to be a fact of life for a long time to come– doing nothing is, therefore, not an option. The company must look for more ways to cut costsIncreasing productivity would help the company but without the commitment of the workforce this is unlikely to be successful.Employing more sales people is an option but would increase costs without any real guarantee of successThe company already advertises regularly – doing more would push costs up higher than the industry average making it more uncompetitive unless revenues greatly increase as a result. This seems unlikely with the advent of increasing competition.Discontinuing company benefits would decrease costs but may damage employee morale still further, However, it is a longer term possibility as employees have indicated they would rather pay for benefits than lose their jobs.Choose an alternativeAfter evaluating all your options, choosing the best alternative is usually a straightforward next step but it is also one that is often skipped, even by businessprofessionals. So, make sure that you state your preferred solution simply and clearly.Keep in mind that your readers aren’t as familiar with the case as you so, even if youthink the reasons for your solution, decision or opinion are obvious, you must stillexplain which facts led you to that conclusion. Imagine that you had decided to donothing because you think things will settle down.It is not enough to say, “XYZ could close down or spend a lot of money on advertisingand promotion to boost sales but the best solution is to do nothing, I think things willsettle down.” Support your recommended course of action using theevidence/information from the case, other research and your experience to clarify yourreasoning. For example:“Although management believes that the recent 10% reduction in staff has reducedcosts sufficiently to allay the effects of competition for the next 3 years (XYZ), theycannot afford to stand still or do nothing further because competition is increasing and ishere to stay (XYZ). Increasing promotional activity would also increase costs with noguaranteed results and more job losses would result in a further decline in morale andproductivity. Bearing all this in mind, XYZ’s best option, therefore, is to introduceemployee healthcare contributions. This will save the company $1, 500 000 per annumand employees have already indicated that they would be willing to accept this option inpreference to further job losses (XYZ) so, productivity is likely improve once thechanges are communicated and implemented.”Note: Your chosen alternative(s) must be supported by an integration of facts emanating from business concepts such as finance, management, marketing, operations, human resource, etc. They must also be supported using the results of the environmental analysis or case fact highlighted in section 1 (i). Action planning The first two stages of the case analysis process focus on identifying and makingdecisions about the big picture. In this last stage, steps 3 & 4 call for you to define howyou will turn your solution or decision into action, how, when and what you will monitorto ensure things are working out as planned and what you will do if they are not. In our XYZ example, we have decided to introduce a new benefits program to reduce costs. Let us assume that the benefits team in the Human Resources department will be responsible for communicating changes in the benefits program to employees. This communication must be complete by mid- May so that employees can make informed selections in the open enrollment period during the last two weeks of May.Communication Plan for New Benefits ProgramAction RequiredAction byTime required/Deadline Identify volunteers for focus groups to identify appropriate communication methodsBenefits Director1 week/ 31st JanConduct focus groupsBenefits Team2 weeks/14th FebPrepare communication & enrolment forms in formats identified by focus groupsBenefits Director & PR Consultants4 weeks/14th MarchSend draft communications & documents to printersPR firm1 week/21st MarchMeasurementsFinally, as with any plan, it is very important to build in measures so that you canperiodically monitor whether it is working. Therefore, you need to state HOW, WHENand WHAT you will measure, for example: quarterly reviews of new accounts opened,sales volume or number of units sold, increases in customer awareness or satisfactionlevels, gross profit margins or net profits. You must also have a contingency plan incase things do not go as expected. Will you make modifications to your existing plan?Will you start the process over? Will you choose some other alternative that you'velready identified?

Week 3, Application: Communicating a Message to Multiple Audiences
Week 3 AssignmentApplication: Communicating a Message to Multiple AudiencesReal life is not always tidy, and this fact certainly holds true in
public communications. Audiences have multiple characteristics that can
influence how a message should be delivered. As a criminal justice
professional, you must consider how audience characteristics might
influence how a message should be delivered. You should then consider
challenges to effectively communicating a message to that audience. Perhaps you select to use visual aids for a group of 7th grade
children. You then find out that the children attend an inner-city
school with a low reading level and will not be able to understand your
visual aids. Or perhaps they are Non-English speaking children who
might not be able to read your visual aids. Once you begin to consider
the variety of potential audiences, and their distinct characteristics,
the importance of presenting the same message in several different
formats becomes clear. For this assignment, review your video submission from Week 2. Then
select one audience from the list provided. Consider how that audience
might benefit from the message that was delivered in Week 2. Next,
examine characteristics specific to that audience that may influence
how the message should be delivered. Look at potential challenges in
communicating this message to the selected audience. Finally, consider
how your communication might have to be altered in order to deliver
this same message to the new audience.

Whether the situation described in a case is fairly straightforward or is highly complex, the entire problem solving process involves 4 phases and eight steps outlined below. The analysis process will involve four phases:Problem identification and definitionThe process of identifying and defining the problem involves three steps:i) Reviewing the case and identifying and describing the relevant facts.This step allows you to identify the key facts (the most relevant ones) so that you canfigure out what is going on before making a decision. Identify and stating the key factshelps you identify the most important facts. Provide a list of the most relevant case facts. These facts should be organized aroundexternal forces (external environment) that affect an organization including but notlimited to: political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal and competitive; orinternal factors such as management problems, staffing issues, financial, or marketingchallenges. ii) Determining the root or cause of the problemThis step expands on the previous step by identifying the facts in the case that arecontributing to the problem and/or are symptomatic of the problem. In this step, a simplequestion that might guide the discussion is: what are the current challenges faced byXYZ company? Identify all the challenges that the company is facing to includeinternational/global business decisions and ethical/social responsibility issues.iii) Identify the problem componentsThis third part of the problem identification fully identifies the problem and the key components of the problem. An example of part ii) and iii) is below: The current challenges facing XYZ are how to remain competitive and profitable,improve productivity and maintain good employee relations. A number of factors arecontributing to this situation. First, the government has recently passed laws toderegulate the industry. This is causing competition in the industry to increase. Second,widespread adoption of telecommunications and the internet means customers arefinding it much easier to shop around and compare prices. This is also stimulatingcompetition and is driving down prices industry-wide. Lower prices have led to lowerprofits in the industry and the 1% fall in XYZ’s net margin is reflected in the $1,000 000decline in net profit. Consequently, XYZ has been downsizing and recently laid off 10%of its workforce in an effort to cut costs. A recent company survey indicated thatdownsizing has adversely affected employee morale which the management believes isresponsible for the 2% decline in productivity. (XYZ, pp 214-215).Analysis and decision making Most business cases involve decision making. For instance, some might need adecision on questions such as, “What strategy or strategies should company XZYpursue in the future? This decision can be made after an analysis of the company’sstrategy and situation. The final decision will vary based on the data available and theperceived consequences. Analyzing the various dimensions of the decision requiresthree things: decision options or alternatives, decision criteria, and providing relevantevidence (Case Analysis Guideline, n.d). These three steps are below: Generating alternatives (options)Since the case assignment or question requires a solution, a decision or an opinion thenyou need to consider all the options. Brainstorming will help you generate a list ofpossible alternatives. Some questions that are being considered in this case that you must discuss and answer or list as alternatives in this section:a) How could the organization solve the primary challenges and problems problemsidentified in the case and any case questions? List as many alternatives for eachchallenge as possible.b) In addition to the challenges identified propose specific alternatives for thefollowing questions:a. What are the organization’s options for future growth in global markets? Whatmight be potential markets?b. Given the organization’s current financial situation and keeping in mind anypotential impact on return on investment capital to investors, what are the organization’sstrategic options for environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibilityinitiatives?In this step, you do not need to be judgmental; virtually any idea goes but if you do notlist it, you cannot then choose it as the best option. A few examples of company XYZ’salternative solutions:Close XYZ down – the future is bleakDo nothing – the company has already cut costs enoughIncrease productivity- to reduce unit costsEmploy more sales people- to increase sales revenueRun some extensive advertising campaigns- to increase sales revenue and product awarenessDiscontinue company benefits – to reduce costsContinue to lay off staff as needed – to reduce costsImplement voluntary redundancy/retirement and a hiring freeze – to reduce costs.Ask employees to pay a proportional cost of medical benefits – to reduce costs.Evaluate alternativesOnce you have listed all your alternatives, the next step is to narrow them down to thosethat seem most plausible; much like whittling down a long list of new cars to a fewpotential makes and models. After you’ve screened your list, take the relevant facts thatyou gathered in step 1 and apply them to each of the remaining alternatives. Thisprovides you with the necessary supporting evidence to reject most of the remainingalternatives and decide on the best. A few examples are provided below:Deregulation and consumer shopping habits mean competition is likely to be a fact of life for a long time to come– doing nothing is, therefore, not an option. The company must look for more ways to cut costsIncreasing productivity would help the company but without the commitment of the workforce this is unlikely to be successful.Employing more sales people is an option but would increase costs without any real guarantee of successThe company already advertises regularly – doing more would push costs up higher than the industry average making it more uncompetitive unless revenues greatly increase as a result. This seems unlikely with the advent of increasing competition.Discontinuing company benefits would decrease costs but may damage employee morale still further, However, it is a longer term possibility as employees have indicated they would rather pay for benefits than lose their jobs.Choose an alternativeAfter evaluating all your options, choosing the best alternative is usually a straightforward next step but it is also one that is often skipped, even by businessprofessionals. So, make sure that you state your preferred solution simply and clearly.Keep in mind that your readers aren’t as familiar with the case as you so, even if youthink the reasons for your solution, decision or opinion are obvious, you must stillexplain which facts led you to that conclusion. Imagine that you had decided to donothing because you think things will settle down.It is not enough to say, “XYZ could close down or spend a lot of money on advertisingand promotion to boost sales but the best solution is to do nothing, I think things willsettle down.” Support your recommended course of action using theevidence/information from the case, other research and your experience to clarify yourreasoning. For example:“Although management believes that the recent 10% reduction in staff has reducedcosts sufficiently to allay the effects of competition for the next 3 years (XYZ), theycannot afford to stand still or do nothing further because competition is increasing and ishere to stay (XYZ). Increasing promotional activity would also increase costs with noguaranteed results and more job losses would result in a further decline in morale andproductivity. Bearing all this in mind, XYZ’s best option, therefore, is to introduceemployee healthcare contributions. This will save the company $1, 500 000 per annumand employees have already indicated that they would be willing to accept this option inpreference to further job losses (XYZ) so, productivity is likely improve once thechanges are communicated and implemented.”Note: Your chosen alternative(s) must be supported by an integration of facts emanating from business concepts such as finance, management, marketing, operations, human resource, etc. They must also be supported using the results of the environmental analysis or case fact highlighted in section 1 (i). Action planning The first two stages of the case analysis process focus on identifying and makingdecisions about the big picture. In this last stage, steps 3 & 4 call for you to define howyou will turn your solution or decision into action, how, when and what you will monitorto ensure things are working out as planned and what you will do if they are not. In our XYZ example, we have decided to introduce a new benefits program to reduce costs. Let us assume that the benefits team in the Human Resources department will be responsible for communicating changes in the benefits program to employees. This communication must be complete by mid- May so that employees can make informed selections in the open enrollment period during the last two weeks of May.Communication Plan for New Benefits ProgramAction RequiredAction byTime required/Deadline Identify volunteers for focus groups to identify appropriate communication methodsBenefits Director1 week/ 31st JanConduct focus groupsBenefits Team2 weeks/14th FebPrepare communication & enrolment forms in formats identified by focus groupsBenefits Director & PR Consultants4 weeks/14th MarchSend draft communications & documents to printersPR firm1 week/21st MarchMeasurementsFinally, as with any plan, it is very important to build in measures so that you canperiodically monitor whether it is working. Therefore, you need to state HOW, WHENand WHAT you will measure, for example: quarterly reviews of new accounts opened,sales volume or number of units sold, increases in customer awareness or satisfactionlevels, gross profit margins or net profits. You must also have a contingency plan incase things do not go as expected. Will you make modifications to your existing plan?Will you start the process over? Will you choose some other alternative that you'velready identified?
