Essay:  Write a 3-part assertive statement to a teacher who falsely accused you of turning in your homework late.
Student Answer:  Dear Mr./Mrs. I’m sorry that I gave you the impression that I turned my homework in late. I turned it in lastly on the day we did it. If you need to talk to me after school about this we can do that. I promise I turned it in on time but understand if you were told differently or given a different impression. Hopefully we can talk and come to an agreement.
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:  Dear I have been noticing that the plans you’ve been making haven’t been followed through. I just want to make sure I didn’t do something to upset you or gave you the impression I don’t want to hangout. I think we need to talk and figure out a day that works both best for each of us and we can have plans then.
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:  So you get your point across and the other person can get a better understanding. So it doesn’t bottle up your emotions and you can keep good communication with your peers.
