This Being Assertive lesson plan also includes:
Passive! Aggressive! Assertive!. The activities in the fourth lesson in the Communication module teach middle schoolers the difference among these behaviors and how to develop assertive communication skills. After defining and offering examples of these three behaviors, groups create three single-frame comics that depict each type of behavior and share their work in a gallery walk. The two-part lesson ends with class members generating a list of characteristics of assertive behaviors.
