Using Feedback on Your Email

What are we learning today?

You will learn how to check a comment about your work. You will also learn how to answer it.

Explanation

• Feedback can come from a partner or from a checklist.
• Ask: Is the comment clear? Does it match the checklist? Will it help the reader?
• A good comment is specific. "Use Hi instead of Dear" is a good comment.
• If the comment is good, change your text. Then say thank you.
• If you keep your text, explain politely.
• Informal emails use Hi, short forms like I've, it's and Here's, and short words like info.

Examples

1. Comment: "Your email is too formal." Change: Dear Günter becomes Hi,
2. Reply: "Good idea, I'll add it."
3. Informal: Here's some info about my school. I've got some info for you.

Remember!

• Check every comment before you use it.
• "Your text is bad" is too general.
