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 just need to say something regarding the work that was due in this classroom that was marked as late. I, for one, have had it done before it was supposed to be finished and had put it in before the due date. You can check all the work turned in, if it helps, cause there may have been an error with the homework.
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, so.. About those plans we had. Listen. I know you´ve busy more recent, and, I get it- its not your fault. I just feel like if you´re too busy to do something with me this weekend, then we can plan it another time. Just phone me when you´re avaliable. Thank you! Hope to see you soon.
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:  In my opinion, being assertive either than aggressive or passive helps to get that point across, or to listen to others either than shutting them down or yelling. Another reason is that its easier to communicate in an assertive way, other than aggressive where you´d be yelling to get your point across, or talking over others.
