In Ms. Tussey's Business class (grades 9-12), students have been learning all about how to send an email, what to write, and email etiquette. After learning about email etiquette, they worked in groups to review the email tips we’ve learned, looked at emails to identify what was wrong with them, and each group took turns on writing a GOOD email and a BAD email. The “bad” or poorly written emails are always fun to read out loud! 😆 See Ms Tussey's favorite "bad" email in the pictures! 😆
