At a staff meeting in a large warehouse, workers are discussing a proposed change to the shift roster. During the discussion, one worker says, “I’m worried the new roster will make it harder for people with family responsibilities.” Another worker replies, “So you’re saying no one should ever change anything.” The supervisor reminds everyone to use discussion and debate conventions so all views can be heard clearly and respectfully.
State one active listening behaviour the second worker could use in this meeting.

In Unit 2 of VM Literacy students work through the areas of study 'Understanding issues and voices' and 'Responding to opinions'.
In this area of study, students will engage in issues that are characterised by disagreement or discussion, developing and expanding upon students' learning from Unit 1. Students will consider the values and beliefs that underpin different perspectives and how these values create different biases and opinions, including thinking about how these issues might arise in particular vocational or workplace settings. Students will read, view and listen to a range of texts and content that demonstrate diverse opinions on a range of local and global issues, and which may impact on their community or be of particular concern to a vocational or workplace group. Students should consider the language and purpose of different text types and consider how this language is used to influence an audience. Students will engage with a range of content from print, visual, aural and multimodal sources. Selection of text types should take into consideration the interests and abilities of the student cohort and the text types that students typically read, including social media. Students will discuss and explain how personal and vested interests, including those of particular vocations or workplaces, affect their own responses to an issue.
