When preparing this lesson, I thought learning about the different types of communication styles would be an engaging discovery topic for my class.  This topic and it has a wealth resources with reliable information.  I am hoping it encourages some of my students to be less aggressive while some more assertive.

 

This lesson will allow students to work individually and to interact and ask questions with their peers. The lesson is fun and the students are learning and gaining knowledge of their own communication style. This lesson will accomplish creativity, understanding, critical thinking and engagement.
