Respectful or Too Casual

Students read eight short dialogues and decide whether each response is respectful or too casual for the relationship depicted. Each scenario features common interactions between students, teachers, parents, principals, and peers. Students must evaluate tone, manners, and appropriateness to determine which category the response belongs to. This strengthens awareness of social expectations, especially when speaking to authority figures. The worksheet also builds evaluative thinking and communication skills.
