Communication Styles – Passive/Assertive/Aggressive

Communication Styles – Passive/Assertive/Aggressive
, Not Grade Specific,

Communication Styles introduces the idea that how people speak to one another matters. The lesson distinguishes passive, assertive, and aggressive approaches, then asks learners to represent all three styles in comics built around the same friendship scenario. Holding the situation constant makes differences in language, tone, boundaries, and likely outcomes easier to compare. The activity supports discussion of respectful self-expression without claiming that one isolated response defines a person’s character.
