  1. Introduction to Email

  2. Objectives Content • I can demonstrate effective and appropriate etiquette when communicating electronically. • I can send and receive emails and manage my email account. Language • I can type in complete sentences with appropriate grammar. • I can type to collaborate with peers through email. • I can describe basic functions and vocabulary of managing an email account.

  3. Vocabulary • Subject the topic of an email. • Forward An email function allowing subscribers to relay a previously received message in full to other recipients. • Reply An option used to respond to a sender's e-mail. • Signature An electronic identifier inserted in e-mail messages that can contain text, hyperlinks, pictures, or an Electronic Business Card. • Inbox A folder that contains incoming messages • Folder An item or location that helps the user organize files. • Junk Unwanted emails or spam. • Attachment A document attached to an e-mail message and sent in its original file format.

  5. Greet Politely. • Launching straight into the message is bad, but “Hi!” is poor form and “Hey Prof!” is an unmitigated disaster. “Dear” and “Hi” are fine, so long as you follow both by a name or title: “Hi Professor” or “Hi Mr. ____”.

  6. Capitalize and punctuate. • Do not use all caps lock for anything. You should never write a sentence LIKE THIS. • Do not use exclamation marks unless truly necessary. • Elmore Leonard said “You are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words of prose.” That’s roughly one exclamation point for every 500 messages you send. Use them wisely, for their overuse is the first sign of an immature mind. (Related, from Terry Pratchett: “Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.”)

  7. Don’t use Emoticons  • Keep them for your friends. And recall that, for centuries of the printed word, writers managed to convey sarcastic and funny without the semicolon and parenthesis.
