Email Etiquette Lessons for Middle School

Say "goodbye" to inappropriate email etiquette and "hello" to fun, interactive learning!

Often our middle school students come to us thinking that they should write emails to their teachers the same way they send texts to their friends. Yikes!

Their email etiquette is ALL over the place: "grade my essay plss!" "umm . . mrs gold???!? y arent u answring?!?!"

But if we don't teach them any differently, can we really blame them?

✨This fully editable slide deck includes 80 teaching slides to show students (in an interactive, kinesthetic, FUN way) how to politely, appropriately write a professional email.✨

How does it work?

For each aspect of appropriate email etiquette, students view . . .

➡️A slide that explains the CORRECT way to write an email

➡️A slide that explains what NOT to do

➡️3 Example slides with instructions for how to vote on whether the example is CORRECT etiquette or INCORRECT etiquette - these voting instructions are often active, a bit noisy, or even silly

➡️Answer slides

These interactive mini lessons break up the monotony of a typical slide presentation. Students actually look forward to the writing lesson each day!
