Question/AnswerPoints
Essay:  Write a 3-part assertive statement to a teacher who falsely accused you of turning in your homework late.
Student Answer:  I turned my assignment in on time. I gave you my paper on Monday, hence why I didn't have it yesterday, but it's still turned in. I would appreciate it if you could double-check that it hasn't already been turned in and give me the points back that were marked off for late work.
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 you get busy and cancel once in a while, but you have been cancelling every time we schedule something. If a day I suggest we hang out won't work for you, you can tell me in that moment, and we can find a day that does work.
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 still respond assertively, even if you're told no, because it's important to stand up for yourself and ensure people respect your boundaries.
