Essay: Write a 3-part assertive statement to a teacher who falsely accused you of turning in your homework late.
Student Answer: I understand that you have been busy and probably got to grading later than the rest of the teachers, but I have had this assignment that was docked as late. I am very confused that why it is docked late because the dates on it say I turned it in the day after I got it and you probably just graded it late. If you could please go back to the grade and check the dates on the assignment to check. If I did turn it in late I am sorry for troubling you. Have a nice day |

Essay: Write a 3-part assertive statement to a friend who keeps making plans with you and then cancelling at the last minute.
Student Answer: I understand that you have had a lot of things come up and you have been busy lately, but I have realized that you will make a plan with me but end up canceling at the last minute because of your busy schedule. It would have been perfectly fine if it was once or twice but it has been repeated almost every time. When you cancel at the last minute it messes my schedule up. I do take time out of my day to come and do things with you so when I take a day off of work or say no to another offer with another friend then you cancel, it makes it look like I'm a total dustbag. If you would like to make plans with me please double-check to make sure your schedule is completely clear or if you have to cancel try to tell me a few days before we hang out. |

Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons.
Student Answer: You should always be assertive because you can make friends a lot easier. If you just yell at someone for disagreeing or stay too quiet it can make people you know be scared to ask you for advice or help. Showing assertiveness is also good for communicating if you are to quit about it the person you are trying to debate with won't take you seriously or being too aggressive might hurt the person and you could get in big trouble. Along with the person losing their respect for you. |
