Communication Styles

Students analyze 12 first-person statements and determine whether each demonstrates assertive, aggressive, or passive behavior. Each scenario encourages learners to infer tone, intention, and emotional control from short dialogues. The exercise sharpens empathy and awareness of communication patterns, helping students distinguish respectful self-expression from avoidance or hostility. By identifying examples of each style, students gain insight into how language choices affect relationships and outcomes.
