Be Assertive Lesson

4th and 5th grade


Purpose: It is important for students to be given communication tools and taught problem
solving skills that will help them maintain healthy relationships, feel safe at school, and be able
to stand up for themselves.
Goal: Students will be able to learn assertive skills and be able to communicate with an assertive
style
Objectives:
Students will be able to:
Differentiate between the different ways of responding to conflict
Define the terms: passive, aggressive, and assertive
Demonstrate assertive behavior
Time required for lesson: (40-45 minutes)
Materials Needed: Aggression survey and note cards with pre-written scenarios on them
Procedure:
Pass out aggression survey. This is to help the school counseling program assess the
experiences 4th and 5th graders are having. Tell students they do not have to write their
names on the survey.
Discuss what assertiveness means (stand up for yourself/ speaking up for yourself) and
why it is important.
Discuss the 3 different communication styles: passive, aggressive, and assertive. Then
give a scenario on how a student would respond using each style. (Example: A student
keeps bumping into you at your locker everyday).
Next discuss with the class tips on how to be assertive. Select a student to come up to the
front of the room to help demonstrate how to be assertive and what it looks like.
Break the class into 4 groups by counting off students. Give each group a scenario card.
The groups should practice on how to respond to the situation with the assertive style.
After the groups have been given time to practice and they understand the concept, have
each group come to the front of the room to act out or demonstrate their scenario. A
student will read the scenario to the class and the other members will demonstrate
assertiveness.
After each demonstration, briefly discuss with the class how the demonstration was
assertive.
Evaluation:
Post-assessment
Consult with the teacher
