A Mode of Writing I Want to Teach

I'm a big fan of non-fiction texts. Expository writing is one mode that I would like to teach. It is what I have been teaching during the past 12 weeks at Sullivan. One specific type of writing I would like to teach students to do well is email writing. Emails are one of the greatest forms of communication currently. I have read so many emails from people that are full of broken ideas or inappropriate language for the situation. By having this skill, students will be able to function in society by knowing how to phrase their ideas to fit a situation. For students to acquire this skill they will need to know the situations that email could be used for, what type of tone is appropriate for those situations, the role of word choice in writing and the basics of email.
