Owning Mistakes

In this worksheet, students read a set of apology statements and analyze each one’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of responsibility, tone, and word choice. They reflect on what makes an apology effective and identify where the speaker could improve. This task develops critical thinking as students evaluate sincerity and accountability in communication. By examining examples closely, learners build skills that help them express themselves more appropriately during conflicts.
