Lesson 26: Write an Email Safely (with Guidance)

Objective

I can write a simple, safe email with:

• a clear Subject
• a polite Greeting
• a short, on-topic Body (1–3 sentences)
• a friendly Closing and Name

Safety first: I will ask an adult to help, and I will not share personal information (full name, address, school, phone, passwords).

Materials

• Device with email app (with adult supervision)
• Tracing Pad (below) to plan subject and sentences

Tip: Think who you’re writing to and why. Keep it short and kind.

Mini-lesson — Parts of a Safe Email

Guided Practice — Plan on the Pad

Plan a short email to your librarian asking about a book.

• Subject: Book Hold Question
• Greeting: Hi Ms. Lee,
• Body idea 1: I am looking for “The Solar System.”
• Body idea 2: Do you have a copy I can borrow?
• Closing: Thank you,
• Name: (Your first name)

Tip: Read your plan out loud. Is it clear and polite?
