Inbox Sorter

This interactive worksheet turns communication analysis into a sorting task. Students act as a “Communication Style Sorter,” reading 10 text-message-style statements and deciding whether each is assertive, aggressive, or passive. By interpreting digital dialogue, learners connect emotional tone to word choice and format. This activity strengthens media literacy and helps students understand how communication style applies to modern texting and online behavior.
