How to do this drill
- Name two shared priorities.
- Compare both options on those priorities.
- Choose, concede, and persuade.
Material
- Option A
- two-day hands-on cooking lab, $88 each, near central transit, ingredients and equipment included.
- Option B
- one-day outdoor photo walk, $62 each, limited bus service, bring camera and lunch, rain date one week later. You and your cousin want a shared practical skill and own no specialist equipment.
Your tasks
- Build a priority grid for skill practice and access/equipment.
- Give a persuasive sixty-second recommendation.

Answer
Option A better matches hands-on shared learning and avoids extra equipment while offering easier transit; Option B is cheaper and shorter but needs a camera and uncertain weather.
How to reach it
- Define priorities.
- Convert features into consequences.
- Use one fair concession before the choice.
Evidence
Model direction: acknowledge B's lower cost, then show why included materials, direct cooking practice, and transit make A better value for these people.
Review your attempt
- Did you compare rather than read cards?
- Does the choice reflect the people's goals?
