1. Email Etiquette 101: or, How to Email Your Teacher Required Elements Relevant Subject Line Greeting Reasonably Well Spell and Grammar Checked Body Sufficient formality Closing “Signature” 1

2. Relevant Subject Line [blank] hi Ms. Martian, I was wondering if If a subject line is relevant, it will let the reader know what your email will be about.

3. Greeting Dear Mr. Mahegan, Ms. Martin, Hi, It doesn’t have to be super formal, but it does have to be there.

4. Reasonably Well Spell-Checked and Grammar-Checked Body That red dotted or squiggly line under a word means it is misspelled. Don’t ignore it- fix it. Por speling is an indicaxion you dont take pride in your werk. Bad grammar make you look bad and when Ms. Martin reads it, it will make them annoyed. Take the time to write well? It doesn’t have to be perfect, but you do have to make an effort.

5. Closing Thanks, See you tomorrow, It doesn’t have to be super formal, but it does have to be there.

6. Professional Email Address These are BAD examples ……

7. “Signature” This means, very simply, to put your name at the bottom of your email. This is especially important if your email address isn’t your name. Some people handle this by having the email program do this for you- it will put it at the bottom of every email.

8. Following up on your email Don’t ask if I have received your email without FIRST checking the response Allow 24 hours for a response; I don’t get email on my phone Read ALL the email It is polite, but not required, to indicate that you have received the response
