# Lesson 26: Write an Email Safely (with Guidance)

✍️ WRITING (40 Lessons) • 🟣 D. Functional and Real-Life Writing

← Back to Level 2

## Objective

I can write a simple, safe email with:

- a clear Subject
- a polite Greeting
- a short, on-topic Body (1–3 sentences)
- a friendly Closing and Name

Safety first: I will ask an adult to help, and I will not share personal information (full name, address, school, phone, passwords).

## Materials

- Device with email app (with adult supervision)
- Tracing Pad (below) to plan subject and sentences

Tip: Think who you’re writing to and why. Keep it short and kind.

## Mini-lesson — Parts of a Safe Email

1. Subject: What the email is about in a few words. Subject: Field Trip Question
2. Greeting: Say hello politely. Hi Ms. Rivera,
3. Body: 1–3 short sentences. I forgot the permission slip. May I bring it tomorrow?
4. Closing: A friendly sign-off. Thank you,
5. Name: First name only (with adult guidance). Sam
6. Safety: Ask an adult; never send private info; be kind and clear.

## Guided Practice — Plan on the Pad

Plan a short email to your librarian asking about a book.

- Subject: Book Hold Question
- Greeting: Hi Ms. Lee,
- Body idea 1: I am looking for “The Solar System.”
- Body idea 2: Do you have a copy I can borrow?
- Closing: Thank you,
- Name: (Your first name)

Tip: Read your plan out loud. Is it clear and polite?
