Did you know?
It's important to use the same tone in an email as you would in an in-person conversation with your teacher. An EMAIL is NOT A TEXT - considered a formal way of communicating. Always remember to include a meaningful subject line so that your teacher can easily identify the purpose of your email. When addressing a teacher, make sure to use their full name or their last name with the appropriate title, such as Mr. or Mrs.
