Build a Viewpoint Claim Grid

Separate goal, reason, proposal, and safeguard for two writers.

What you'll learn

  • Separate goal, reason, proposal, and safeguard for two writers.

How to do this drill

  1. Create identical rows for each writer.
  2. Record concessions separately.
  3. Compare at the same level.

Material

Two views
Mae
The community newsletter should remain printed monthly because it reaches residents who do not regularly use the neighbourhood app. Reduce waste by printing fewer copies and placing them at pickup points.
Colin
Updates change too quickly for a monthly issue. Use an email bulletin and app posts, but mail a quarterly summary to households that request it. Both formats should publish translation contacts and large-print availability.

Your tasks

  1. Complete goal, channel, frequency, and access-safeguard rows.
  2. State the clearest agreement and disagreement.

Check your work

Finish the tasks first, then open the answer to compare.

Show the answer

Answer

Both value inclusive information and accessible formats. Mae prioritizes monthly print pickup; Colin prioritizes fast digital updates plus opt-in quarterly mail.

How to reach it

  1. Keep accessibility agreement separate.
  2. Compare print/digital channels.
  3. Compare monthly, ongoing, and quarterly frequency.

Evidence

Their shared safeguard is translation and large print, while channel and frequency remain distinct policy choices.

Review your attempt

  • Did you avoid calling both writers print supporters?
  • Is agreement stated at the access level?

Take it further

Write a neutral fifty-word editor summary preserving both priorities.
