Quick comprehension check
“Between now and the next time our class meets, please go to your school email account and write me an email (sbehrens@yisd.net) following the guidelines you just learned. In your email, tell me... * your feelings about English classes in general, * a goal you have for this year in this English class, and * anything you are apprehensive about regarding this class or school in general. Rewrite the following email question to make it clearer and more respectful: "Where is the assignment?" Assume the student is asking about an assignment posted online. Write an appropriate closing for an email to your teacher, Mr. Davis, including your name, class subject, and period number.”
