The lesson “Assertive vs. Aggressive Communication” teaches children more about the importance of strong interpersonal skills in building healthy relationships as well as respecting others through words and communication. Children distinguish between aggressive and assertive styles of communication, learning about why an assertive style is a more positive form. The children are able to express how aggressive and assertive styles make them feel and also demonstrate each style of communication to their peers. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 28th lesson in the 1st year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Communications Development” unit.
