Purpose of the visit, Manuela went to Bulyowa village to continue with the previous lesson on the importance of critical thinking then to teach about Assertive massages. This lesson is aimed at educating participants the skills of trying to persuade the Aggressive people to calm down in any situation they are in. Manuela started by asking the participants about previous lesson, participants responded that they learnt about importance of good listening, importance of Assertive behavior in communication skills etc. after brain storming, Manuela asked the participants questions that, is there any body who did not understand the previous lesson and the review on communication behavior? All kept quiet, Manuela said that mean you all understood they said yes. Manuela introduced the lesson, she told them that, they are going to study two lessons today, one the importance of critical thinking and the Assertive massages. Manuela asked the participants what are the importance of critical thinking in communication? Responses understanding well, help to avoid problems etc. Manuela explained to the participants that critical thinking means the moment one takes to access and evaluate what he or she is planning to do. She also explained to them to the importance of critical thinking in life, Manuela said when someone thinks before acting he or she will always come up with beast decisions, critical thinking helps us to avoid making mistakes, critical thinking helps in proper planning, Manuela encouraged the participants to always think before making any plans or decisions. After that teaching the first lessons, Manuela introduced another lesson on the Assertive massages, Manuela took some time in the beginning of this lessons to review the definition of Passive, Assertive and Aggressive behavior, Manuela told the participants that, teaching Assertive Massages is to access if participants understood communication behavior lessons, she also said that, this lesson helps participants to identify techniques which they can use to help the Aggressive people to calm down. For example Manuela said, if one person is Aggressive and the other person is Assertive, the Assertive person needs to looks for techniques, like sitting down and texting the shoulder, uncross the legs and arms etc so that to calm the Aggressive person down and come to a positive agreement. After that, Manuela called for the tow volunteers to act, she told them that one will be Aggressive, he is to be very angry and the other will be Assertive, the Assertive person will try to say and use body language that will calm down the Aggressive person, the two will not touch each other, they will switch the roles. So the volunteers played, it was good.After the role play, Manuela asked the participants questions about the role play, one participant said that at first, the Aggressive person was too angry that he cannot listen to person who had come to demand for his money, but later on, since the Assertive person tried his level beast to calm him down and he was ready to understand him and talked to him in a politely way. Manuela told the participants that , that is how they should be in order to make peace , love harmony and unity in their village.
