Mini-lesson — Emails are messages you send on a screen
An email is a message you send to an adult (like a teacher) or a family member.
With adult help, you can write it polite and clear.
Every simple email has 3 parts
Greeting: “Hi Ms. Lee,”
Message: one or two short sentences
Closing: “Thank you,” and your name
Keep it polite
Use please when you ask.
Use thank you when you finish.
Keep your message short and kind.
Make it easy to read
Start sentences with a capital letter.
End sentences with a period.
Use a comma after the greeting.
Adult help is for the address and sending. Your job is clear words and polite writing.
