Get volunteers to act out skits if possible. Make sure they are concise and move right ahead so others can participate. Be cautious of inappropriate subject matter and language. Often students will simply not do a skit or any public performance. Remember that a writing assignment needs to guided carefully and any kind of performance carries the danger of disruptive noise and behavior.
Students do the same as a skit but they write it out.
One story tells about the abrupt way of behaving and the other tells the more considerate way. Students must be cautioned that this is a real assignment and will be expected to treat it as such. Independent Practice Students will watch for and tell about events and incidents they've seen that were difficult or hard depending on the manners of the people involved. Closure Insist that students use their information of polite behavior while exiting the classroom. Hold them accountable for capable performance.
