This PPT walks students through the steps of writing a professional email, mostly so they are better able to advocate for themselves when they need help. The slides prompt students to think about why it's important to look professional when emailing a teacher to ask for help, and then provides a series of examples in an interactive "game" format. Finally, the students get practice applying those skills in a writing activity.

See additional activity sheet "Editing Professional Emails" in my store for a great follow-up lesson!
