Introduce the lesson by highlighting that today's session is focused on learning the different communication styles, especially assertive communication. Emphasize its importance in setting boundaries and handling social conflicts effectively.

Breakdown the communication styles into individual slides for deeper understanding. Start with passive communication, describing its characteristics, providing examples and key quick notes.

Now focus on aggressive communication, emphasizing its downsides and providing clear examples. Use markdown bullets for clarity.

Finally, dive into assertive communication. Highlight its balance between passive and aggressive, include practical examples, and emphasize respectful expression.

Introduce the active role-playing activity. Explain that the scenarios involve real-world situations like hallway teasing, peer pressure, and group work conflicts. Encourage participation and provide guidance during the exercise.

Transition to the worksheet activity: Explain that after role-playing, students will complete a worksheet that asks them to identify different communication styles from scripts. This will help solidify their understanding.

Facilitate a group discussion to reflect on both the role-playing and worksheet activities. Ask what strategies worked, what challenges they faced, and how they can improve their assertive communication skills.
