Email Project
Over the next several weeks, you will
correspond with your teachers or a working
adult using email (at least 5 exchanges
needed) – you may already do this – but
this assignment will
• require you to follow our class policies
• ensure the emails generate a response
• forward the dialog to Ms. H by the due
date
Assignment details
Forward each email to MsH with a summary of:
• How you focused your message (refer to p. 19)
• How the email was organized (refer to p. 25)
• What type of voice you chose (refer to p. 33)
• Describe how you deliberately chose Words (refer to p.
41), for example, were any of your words from p. 4546?
• Tell me about your transitions or list several examples
you used (refer to p. 52)
• Lastly, tell me if the exchange resulted in a response
that also followed the guidelines we learned (assuming
the exchange was not with a classmate or me)
