SAMPLE Email

The format below or one similar is advised for an exchange of email messages. One teacher in a classroom partnership asks his or her students to each compose one or two questions. The students of the partner classroom answer the questions and pose their own and so forth. Sometimes teachers assign two students to answer the questions of one student in the partner classroom.

This format of email exchange entails the teacher sending email messages through only his or her school computer. If teachers wish to conduct a one-to-one email exchange between students, they should consider an email filter set up by a computer lab technician. Always review students' email messages for content and grammar before they are sent.
