3. Practice sing I-Messages with 3 different people in the next 3 days.

4. Explain to a family member what I-messages are and why they are important.

5. Reflect on: Your friend takes your pencil pouch for their class after lunch. You get to your locker and realize it is gone, but need to go to class. Later after school, you see your friend putting your pencil pouch away. You want to tell them how the afternoon felt for you and you want to make sure this does not happen again. Write two I-statements you can say to your friend so this does not happen again.
