1. Use Proper English Don't type in all caps, all lower case, or forget punctuation. Spell words the way you would in an essay, not a text message. Also don't use emojis, especially in formal emails.
2. Read What You Write Before sending an email, step away from the computer for a moment and imagine yourself as the person receiving the email. Make sure what you're saying doesn't sound sarcastic or rude.
3. Be Polite Use courteous introductions and please and thank you. Always end an email with Sincerely, Thank You and your name, grade, and class period.
4. Be Clear Fill in the subject line with what your email is about such as "History Project". Make sure you include details so the person getting the email knows what you're talking about.
4. Forwarding Spam is a useless waste of space and never forward it. No one appreciates it. Don't forward private emails . Forward things like schedules and schedule changes.
5. Address People With Courtesy When sending emails address who the email is to with respect. An email to your teacher should address them as Ms. or Mr. and their last name.
6. Have Patience If you have sent a teacher or classmate an email, and they have not responded do not send them the same email. Instead, talk to them face to face.
7. Don't Send Huge Files If something you are sending is over 500 KB ask who you are sending it to if its ok. If you don't they may not receive any emails sent to them after that.
8. Reply Quickly If someone sends you an email about a project reply quickly so they can get it done and they don't have to wait two days for a response.
