Email a Teacher or Coach: Letter Writing and Life Skills
Email etiquette is an essential life skill for students to learn. Even when they are in middle school or high school, they may have to email adults in their lives to ask for help or communicate important information. Let's teach our students how to do this, step-by-step!
This resource helps students in grades 5-12 understand how to write a polite email to a teacher or coach requesting help or a favor.
Use the accompanying email vocabulary handout CLICK HERE to teach the key components of an email, then have students practice writing a sample email together as a class.
Finally, students complete the assignment by writing their own email to a teacher or coach requesting something specific like a letter of recommendation or help with a concept they are struggling with in class. Consider pairing this with other email writing assignments to give students practice with various real-life email scenarios they may encounter in their future careers. The resource includes a printable handout students can complete by hand.
