Teacher Email ETIQUETTE LESSON
The assignment By this Friday, November 9, you must email one of your teachers (excluding me)!
What should the email include? Appropriate Heading/Subject Line Ex: How to Improve my Grade, Thank you, etc Greeting Ex: Dear Mrs. Mangano, Ex: Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Hope you are doing well, etc Email Message Closing Remark Ex: Sincerely, NAME
What’s the “Email message”? Ask about specific assignment grades, tutoring, additional assistance on a topic, etc. Offer a thank you! Or message of appreciation Do not just say, “What can I do to improve my grade?”!
Things to keep in mind Use your school email! Keep it short and get to the point quickly. Ask direct, specific questions. Do not write to your teacher the same way you write to your friends on the internet. This is not texting, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Write proper sentences with subjects, verbs, correct punctuation, and correct spelling. End the email with a polite closing remark and your full name. Check the email later for a reply!
What’s the point? Practice Professionalism Impress your Teachers Most importantly… improve your grades!!
How will you be graded? “CC” me in all emails! As long as you meet all criteria (Header, Greeting, Email Message, and Closing Remark), you will get a 100! Teachers do not have to reply to for you to receive credit; however, most will! So, as mentioned, remember to check your email. This is an informal grade. However, it is a life lesson above all.
