This week will be your last week of the semester with the ninth graders. You have all done a great job. At the end of today you need to be sure to say good-bye and thank them for all their cooperation and contributions. Towa
The topic for today is assertive behavior, and it will probably take the whole time. As planned, I will go over the principles of assertive, aggressive, and passive interaction as quickly as I can.
Passive;
quiet
vague, indirect
strong desire to please
Assertive
clear, direct
not highly emotional
persistent
desire to compromise or contribute to the solution of the problem
Aggressive
threatening, demanding
clear
critical
desire to control
sometimes highly emotional
uncompromising
(Passive Aggressive)
whining
sarcastic
You will set up role plays to demonstrate the different styles. Each role play will have several parts. If the role play is going well, just let it go. If the person is having trouble demonstrating the style, stop and get audience suggestions or pick someone else to try it. If you have other scenarios that you think are better than these, feel free to improvise.
Role plays-
1.You have chosen to buy some articles of clothing that your parent thinks is inappropriate and refuses to let you buy. You see nothing wrong with your selection.
select 2 students to play parent and child
1st time: parent is just regular/child is passive--evaluate with class
2ond time:parent is just regular/child is aggressive--evaluate with class
3rd time: parent is just regular/child is assertive--evaluate with class
2. Your team mate has not bothered to learn the plays and doesn’t seem to care. His foul-ups make it difficult for you to do well at your position. You are tired of looking bad and decide to talk to him
select 2 students to play team mates- student 1 is constant st. 2 changes
1st time: student 1 is fouling up/student 2 is passive--evaluate with class
2ond time: student 1 is fouling up/student 2 is aggressive--evaluate

3.Your coach is not playing you or is not playing you at your best position. You want to play more or at another position so you decide to talk to him.
