Essay: Write a 3-part assertive statement to a teacher who falsely accused you of turning in your homework late.
Student Answer: I know that you think I turned in my homework late, but I did not. I showed it to you that day when I turned it in. I understand if you lost my paper or misunderstood what I was doing. I can show you the date I turned it in, if you would like. |

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 if something comes up, but please stop making plans with me and then cancelling last minute. It makes me feel left out and I don't like that feeling. If you know you are going to have to cancel on me when we make plans, please just say so. It will go over a lot better if you tell me when the plans are being drawn rather than when I'm getting ready to walk out the door to meet you for that plan. |

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: If you are arguing, people won't be able to use your words, tone, or actions against you. Also, you have a lot better chance of getting your way if you don't yell at the person or let the other person get everything they want. |
