SESSION 2
Lesson Procedures: SESSION 2 Part I Review (8 minutes) Tape the three flip chart pages from the las
period on the board, under the heading “Types of Behavior.” Ask students to briefly recall what they did in t
last class period. Distribute pieces of drawing paper, and invite students to think about the three types of
behavior they learned about. Tell students to divide their papers into three parts and make drawings that
express how each of these three behaviors “looks” or “feels” to them. Suggest that they use color, images, or
words to express their interpretation of each behavior. Circulate among students as they work. When they
finished, make a few comments or observations of what you have seen. For example, you might say the
following: • The sections that represent passive behaviors are the least interesting. • The sections that expr
aggression are the darkest and most off-putting. • Those that represent assertive behavior are the most inv
and appealing. Part II More Action/Reaction (15 minutes) Purpose: Students learn how to use assertive
behavior to communicate more effectively. 1. Students focus on assertive behavior. Ask a volunteer to descr

divided in the end? Why? (The paper would probably be divided fairly equally because the people involved
would have negotiated equal shares, since each wanted as much as possible from the split.) Lesson 4 Bein
Assertive 107x2. Students identify ways to communicate assertively. Focus attention on the flip chart pages
displayed on the board. Remind students that passive and aggressive behaviors are more likely than assert
behavior to lead to negative consequences or reactions from others. Explain that assertive behavior is the b
way to communicate what you want. It is the most effective way to achieve your goals. Invite students to
compile a list of tips for being assertive. Have volunteers write the suggestions in a list on the board. Althou
your list will include specific actions and words, it should cover the following general ideas: • Use words th
show you are responsible for what you are saying. • Be sure that your body language and your words are
sending the same message. • Say what you want or need clearly and calmly. • Think about what the other
person wants or needs. • Use good listening skills and ask questions. Part III Pass Me the Comics, Please (25
