Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Describe an event without blaming and recognize each person's concern.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Model the target skill: construct assertive, non-blaming 'I-Statements' (I feel... when... because... I need...). Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Describe an event without blaming and recognize each person's concern.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: An I-statement describes one's experience; it should not hide an accusation such as I feel that you are bad.

A common mistake to discuss

An I-statement describes one's experience; it should not hide an accusation such as I feel that you are bad.

What to practice next

Practice a statement, listen to the reply and propose a fair next step.

Sample question and answer

Your partner repeatedly talks over you during a group science project. Which response uses a healthy 'I-Statement'?

  • A. 'You are the worst partner ever and you never listen to anyone!'
  • B. 'I feel frustrated when I get interrupted because my ideas aren't heard. Can we please take turns speaking?'
  • C. Cross your arms and refuse to do any work on the project.
  • D. Interrupt them even louder whenever they start talking.

Answer: B. Option B expresses feelings without blaming ('I feel frustrated when... Can we please take turns?'), which de-escalates tension and invites collaboration.
