How not to email a teacher:

To: afranklin@winchendon.org From: student@winchendon.org Subject: (No Subject) (-> Right off the bat, this gives me no indication of why you are contacting me)

Message: I don't get the homework (> This is too vague. I don't know what you're having trouble with and what I can do to help you.)

Hi Ms. Franklin, (---> It's always polite to address the person you are contacting.)

I'm having a bit of trouble with the directions for our current events assignment due next class. (---> This way I know what part of the assignment you are having trouble with. Many times there will be multiple things due each class.) Where should I post the link and response to the article that I found? (---> A specific question will allow me to give you a specific answer.) Thank you!
