How not to write an email

I watched this video the other day and thought back to the work Tanya did with Literacy for Learning. In particular the use of informal (everyday) and formal (technical) language and moving students along this continuum.

The video is of a college professor sending a message to his students using a fake email he wrote based on emails he had received from real students.

Could be a good teaching tool with older students who are required to use email with teachers, potential employers, TAFE lecturers, Open Access teachers and in the future University lecturers and employers.

I found the video quite funny. Just the way the professor sighs after reading the lower case “i” at the beginning of the email made me laugh.
