Starting a Lesson on Sending Professional Emails

Lesson Hook: The Inbox Adventure

Introduction

Imagine waking up one day to find that you have just become the CEO of a brand-new, super cool company! Congratulations! 🎉 You're responsible for making important decisions and leading your team. However, there's one catch: your team is scattered all over the world, and the only way to communicate effectively is through emails.

Activity: The Inbox Challenge

To kick off today's lesson on sending professional emails, let’s go on an "Inbox Adventure"! Here’s how it works:

  1. Scenario Setup:

    • Present the students with a fictional scenario where they have just been appointed as the CEO of their favorite company—whether it's a gaming company, a fashion brand, or even a cookie business!

  2. Role-playing:

    • Divide the class into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will represent different departments of the company (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Product Development).

  3. Email Challenge:

    • Each group will receive a task that requires them to collaborate via email. For example:
      • The Marketing team needs to promote a new product.
      • The Product Development team requires feedback on a prototype.
      • The Sales team must update everyone on their latest success stories.

  4. Drafting Emails:

    • Provide each group with guidelines on how to write a professional email, including structure and tone.
    • Each group must draft and send (playfully, through the classroom) an email to another group to complete their task.

  5. Discussion:

    • After the activity, reconvene and discuss what made the emails effective or ineffective. What common mistakes did they notice? What techniques worked well?

Conclusion

Wrap up the lesson by highlighting the importance of clear and professional communication, especially in a digital world. Set the stage for more in-depth lessons on email etiquette, structure, and purpose.

This engaging and interactive start to your lesson not only piques students' interest but also helps them practice real-world skills in a fun and collaborative manner!
