Passive, Assertive, Aggressive Communication Styles SEL Presentation
The Passive, Assertive, and Aggressive Communication Styles Google Slides resource supports educators in guiding students through understanding three varied communication styles. Hands-on and interactive tool uses visual imagery to help children understand each unique characteristic of a communication style. This package encapsulates an 8-slide presentation that thoroughly navigates each style.
Targeting primarily third to fifth graders, it can be adapted to suit other age groups as needed. This resource blends easily into the social-emotional learning curriculum and special education needs (SEN), highlighting social skills development.
Inclusion of a simple-to-understand representation using animal illustrations as metaphors:
A turtle for passive communication skills
An owl for assertiveness
A lion for aggressive behaviour
Open discussions on scenarios symbolizing commonplace conflicts among children— enriching their understanding through dialogue-based collaborative sessions conducted conveniently in pairs or groups but also effective as whole-class activities.
Annotated template provided instructs students on creating comic strips illustrating various methods of communication—an engaging medium allowing them not just comprehend but also express creatively what they've learned.
To extend beyond school boundaries — an insightful take-home handout is provided aiding families in reinforcing these lessons at home.
