Teacher Feedback 

1. “I used this resource with all three of my LA classes, 7th, 8th, and 9th Grade. It was easy to adjust for the older students and engaging for the young ones. “
2. “Sixth-grade students have no idea how to properly write an email. This lesson was very helpful.”
3. “My 7th-grade teacher colleagues agreed that our students needed a lesson in email etiquette, and as the English teacher, I was elected to tackle this. This resource was a pleasure to use and really made a difference. Our students have become much more aware of how they come across in their emails and have become more aware of audience as they approach all of the writing tasks.”
