Respectful Rewrites

In this worksheet, students rewrite insensitive, rude, or overly personal comments to make them sound respectful and appropriate for the situation. They must think carefully about tone, kindness, and audience as they improve each sentence. This activity builds awareness of how words affect others and encourages students to choose language that supports positive relationships. It strengthens writing skills through rewriting practice and fosters self-control and empathy by encouraging thoughtful communication.
