Attaining Targeted Impressions
This worksheet gets students to think about how their words and their actions give others impressions of them, and tasks them with choosing what to say and how to act in order to attain targeted impressions.
Attaining Targeted Impressions
This activity helps students consider how they want to be perceived by certain people in certain contexts, as well as how their actions and words can reinforce or contradict their desired image.
In order for students to begin modifying what they say and the actions they take in order to obtain a targeted impression, they must first understand the connection between actions, appearances, words, and impressions. Students fill in four different social situations, and must consider the context and communicative partner for each in order to decide on a targeted impression desired. They then are tasked with thinking about what they can say and do to attain that impression for each of the scenarios.
