Question/AnswerPoints
Essay:  Write a 3-part assertive statement to a teacher who falsely accused you of turning in your homework late.
Student Answer:  Dear Mr. Whatsit, I understand why you may think that I turned in my homework late, but I would like to inform you that I, in fact, did not turn in my homework late, despite your beliefs. I would like my grade to be corrected because, as I stated before, I did not turn in my homework late
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:  Hey, Adaline!! You may not have noticed, but every time we try to make plans to hang out, you keep cancelling on me. I just want to know why? I do understand if you are busy, but it's kinda funny how you somehow have something to do every time we try and hang out. I feel like you aren't telling me something, and I would like to at least know what the problem is, so I can try and fix it?
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:  Why I would still choose to communicate assertively is that using or being assertive while speaking to others can help a lot when trying to get a point across, or even just letting someone know something they may be doing wrong. Using assertiveness is not just about getting what you want; it can also be a more mature or polite way of speaking.
