Guidelines for email etiquette essay

Our class was given a sheet of paper that gives out guidelines and ways that our email etiquette essay should be and what it must have on it. The essay that we have to write about will be a fake email complaining about a bad grade. The email format should be MLA double spaced. There are things in the paper that we should not say such as this email is about, I believe, and I will tell you it’s like who wants to read that it’s not going to make much sense. When you’re typing out your essay it is best to not write like if your texting to someone even though to some of us it is much easier. Using the appropriate language that the instructor will understand is very helpful. The email should be two to three develop paragraphs but three is better but I like doing four just to let you know. The paragraphs should also have a thesis statement to help the reader understand what he/she understands what they are reading about. For the ending paragraph it’s not good to say things like in conclusion or finally because the paper won’t sound good. The last thing is revision that paper shouldn’t have any type of typos, complete sentences, avoiding slang and sentence fragments, checking punctuation, and just making sure to stay on topic. Each group was supposed to create a thesis and a draft plan for the essay. Since I missed class I wasn’t able to do the required assignment and for that I take full responsibility. Even though I was not in class I did create a thesis for my draft and a plan for it. I didn’t get to go to the computer room so I can’t really write about the experience I’m sorry Mrs. Crawford I will try to do better.
