Help students learn how to communicate appropriately and professionally in school settings with this Email & Chat Etiquette Lesson designed for middle school students.

This lesson teaches students how to write clear, respectful emails to teachers and other adults, understand when email is appropriate versus face-to-face communication, and follow school-appropriate chat expectations in platforms like Google Classroom.

Students will learn:

• When to use email and when in-person communication is more appropriate
• The parts of a professional email (subject line, salutation, body, signature)
• Common email mistakes to avoid (text talk, ALL CAPS, punctuation overuse)
• Reply vs. Reply All expectations
• Appropriate online chat behavior during school learning time
  

The lesson includes a built-in practice activity where students apply their skills by composing an email using proper structure and tone.

Perfect for digital citizenship lessons, counseling sessions, advisory, homeroom, or classroom expectations at the start of the year.
