Sample student email:
Sender: blusher1@gmail
Message:
i wanted to know if i missed anything in class today
I receive messages like this more often than I should. What is wrong with the above email?
Read Chapter 6, "Writing and Rhetoric in the Workplace" (starts on page 41).
Then, compose an email to me: Ms. Hollie Domingue; [email protected] --
(make sure you type in the address correctly!).
Your email should be formal and professional. It should include a relevant subject in the subject line, a greeting, an introduction that includes your name, and a proper closing. Punctuation, grammar, and spelling should be checked.
This is my first impression of you as a writer.
The email should contain:
A short introduction-- who are you? I challenge you to find a key word or theme (something you'll hear a lot about in the coming weeks) that defines you-- something that I can remember you by. Tell me something about your experience with English class and your goals for this one. This assignment has "loose" criteria; the main goal here is to compose a professionally sounding, formal email that establishes a student-teacher connection.
It should be fairly brief... approximately 2-3 paragraphs and 10-12 sentences total... for those of you who thrive on specific guidelines! See page 48-49 for similar examples.
This email is due by midnight tonight.
