b. if you have any questions related to the course or topic being discussed
about the course,
c. if you would like to ask for a favorable consideration regarding

submission of certain course requirements due to uncontrollable
situations, and
d. if you would like to submit your course requirements.
In sending email to your teacher or to your classmate or to anyone,

please observe the following:
1. Be formal. Spell all the words correctly. No word short cuts for a formal
email. Follow and apply the basic format of writing a letter. There is a
heading, greeting or salutation, body of the letter, closing, and
signature. You may arrange your email letter using the semi-block or
block style. In case you already forgot about these, you may review by
reading English or Filipino books or searching in Google/Yahoo the
“Basic Parts of a Letter”, “Format of the Letter”, and others. Note or
observe the format of your teacher’s email whenever you receive one
as an example.
2. Be kind, courteous, and respectful. Use appropriate words in your

content. Whatever your emotion is during the time of typing/writing
the email/letter, you still need to be careful, watch over the words and
statements you put in the contents of your email. If possible, before
sending it, read it again.
3. Avoid using the following in typing/writing an email or letter:
a. All capital letters
Type or write your words, phrases, and statements in a sentence

properly. In writing/typing a sentence, the first letter in it is a capital
letter or when a proper noun is used in a sentence, the first letter
of the proper noun is in capital letter, or if you will write/type a title
of an article or book or headline, the first letter of the emphasized
word is in capital letter, or if you will type/write an acronym where
all letters in an acronym are capital letters. Never write or type the
whole sentence in capital letters. Never write or type a word in your
sentence in all capital letters unless it is an acronym even for
emphasis purposes. Never write or type a phrase or a particular
phrase in your sentence in all capital letters. Because it is not
appropriate and it may be misinterpreted by the receiver. If your
intention is to emphasize a word or a phrase in your sentence, you
may just underline the word, phrase, or sentence that you would
like to emphasize. Or you may highlight the word, phrase, or
sentence and make it bold or in italics if your intention is to
emphasize. In case you forgot how to write a sentence properly,
you may review again by reading English or Filipino books or search
in Google/Yahoo about proper ways of writing a sentence.
b. Exclamation point twice or more
An exclamation point is this symbol: !
An exclamation point is used at the end of a word, phrase, or

sentence to indicate a strong emotion of excitement, anger,
amazement, and other strong emotions. In a formal way of using the
symbol, it is used only once. It is not necessary to use the exclamation
point at the end of words, phrases, or sentences all the time. Avoid
using it or typing it at the end of your sentences, words, phrases more
than once (like “!!” or “!!!” or “!!!!!!!”). Or just simply avoid using an
exclamation point even once if it is not necessary at all or if it is not
needed. It is not necessary to be using exclamation point twice or more
successively in writing formal letters whether in traditional letter or
through email letter. You might be misinterpreted by the receiver of
your email.
c. Foul or bad words or phrases or sentences
Avoid using any word, phrase, or sentence that is degrading,

foul, bad, inhumane, racist, a word/phrase/sentence that may have
double meaning, or the like that may humiliate the receiver of your
email letter. No matter what your emotion is during the time when you
write/type the letter/email letter, never use these kind of words or
phrases or sentences in your email. Because these kind of words,
phrases, or sentences are not appropriate in formal writing. Be
courteous and polite. Be kind and respectful.
d. Symbols, emoticon, GIFs, and/or pictures that may indicate a

negative interpretation or meaning
Avoid using the symbols, emoticons, GIFs, and/or pictures as

additional decoration in your email like thumbs down, angry face, and
other similar symbols that may indicate negative interpretation or
meaning. Avoid the symbols, emoticons, GIFs, and/or pictures that
may carry double meaning content and may also indicate negative
interpretation. These are not appropriate and not necessary in
writing/typing a formal letter/email letter.
e. Words in short cut forms
Avoid using short cut forms of words in your email letter. Spell
out the word correctly. Especially if the content of your email letter is
course-related and you will send it to your teacher. This is much better
to practice your spelling skills and to avoid misinterpretation because
not all short cut word forms are universal in meaning.
4. Use only English as the language in writing/typing an email letter. Our

course will utilize English as the medium for instruction. And this is for
you to practice using English language in both oral and written
communication. Your teacher noticed that some students send email
letters not in a proper format and not in English. Practice using English
as a language. Use our course as an opportunity for you to practice
using English especially in written communication since we will most
of the time utilize written form of communication in our flexible mode
of learning.
Keep in mind and do the following for your privacy and for the privacy
and safety of our virtual classes:

1. Never share any information you received through an email regarding
our course to anyone outside our class. If the email you receive is a
miss-sent email or a mistake email, do not entertain it. Delete it. But if
the email is intended for you, it is for you only. Not for anybody.
2. Avoid taking pictures and/or screenshots about the course-related

contents email you received. There is no need for you to do that
because the email is already for you only. If your intention of taking
pictures and/or screenshots about the course-related contents of the
email you received is to post the pictures and/or screenshots to your
personal Facebook and other social media accounts, never do it. Never
share your email including its contents and attachments to any other
forms of social media outside our virtual classrooms. Exceptions for
this is illustrated in this example of a situation: in case you took a
screenshot of your course-related email content or attachment
received from your teacher to emphasize a portion of it for clarification
purposes and you will send the said screenshot picture to your
teacher’s email or Messenger to ask clarification question/s, you are
allowed to do it, as long as the said picture will not go out of the class—
meaning, the said screenshot picture, stated in the example, will not
be seen and shared to anyone or anybody outside of our class.
3. You may download the course-related files your received in the

attachments of your email letter you received from your
teacher/instructor, if any, and save them in a folder for our course and
store it in your laptop, computer, mobile phone, tablet or in other
personal gadget you may have for personal use only. You may also
save the files to your email account. At the left side of your email inbox,
there is an option to create a folder. You may create a folder, name it
as “Teaching Literacy in the Elementary Grades through Children’s
Literature”, then move and save all the emails and attachments related
to our course to the said folder. Organize your electronic files so that
it would be easy for you to locate them in case you would like to open
and read them again. The course-related files you received in your
email are your copy. They were intentionally sent to you for you to
read and study about the course.

4. Never share the course-related attachments you received through
email to any of your social media accounts or to anybody outside our
class. The course-related attachments you received through email are
your copy and there is no need for you share it to anyone outside who

are personally prepared by your teacher/instructor and are protected
by intellectual property rights. Help protect the privacy and safety of
our virtual classes.
If there is nothing important course-related concerns you would like to

ask/request from your teacher/instructor or from your classmates that
needs to be addressed, there is no need for you to send an email to your
teacher or to your classmates. Use email only if necessary. In connection
to our virtual classes, use email only for course-related concerns.
In Using Facebook and/or Messenger
Facebook and/or Messenger or the Messenger may be used in our

flexible learning. You should only have one Facebook and/or Messenger
account. If in case you have two or more accounts in Facebook and/or
Messenger, choose only one that you will officially use in our virtual classes,
most especially in our Class’ Official Facebook Group. This should be the
same account you entered in your submitted Student Contact Information
form. Any discrepancies in your Facebook and/or Messenger account/s will
be noted by your teacher and you will be informed about it. But in case you
just like to use more than one Facebook and/or Messenger account, you are
allowed to do so for communication purposes using the Messenger. This is
intentionally done for your teacher to easily monitor the activities in our
Class’ Official Facebook Group. This is also for your teacher to easily organize
important messages and attachments, if any, in one Facebook and/or
Messenger account.
But for our Class’ Official Facebook Group, use only one Facebook
and/or Messenger account. This is for your teacher to easily track the
activities and monitor students’ tasks within the Class’ Official Facebook
Group as one of our virtual classrooms. For facilitating purposes, your
teacher is using two Facebook and/or Messenger accounts and both are
registered as administrators in our Class’ Official Facebook Group. Only one
of these is used officially for virtual classes specifically for sending messages-
It is “Maria Teresa L Delima”.
Your instructor/teacher may send a message or messages to you for

any the following reasons related to the course:
a. To follow-up in cases your teacher/instructor is missing certain

course requirement/s or course task/s from you,
b. To ask for clarification from you in cases there are inconsistencies

in your submitted requirements related to the course,
c. To send notifications, updates, announcements, and instructions for

certain course-related tasks, and
d. To give you a copy of course related files in word documents, PDF

documents, Powerpoint, pictures, video presentation, links, and

b. if you have any concerns about the course, questions related to the
course or topic being discussed about the course,

situations, and

classmate or to anyone, please observe the following:
1. Be formal in sending messages through the Messenger especially if the
message is related to our course and you are sending it to your teacher
or to your classmates. A formal message through a Messenger,
whether it is a long message or a short message, is direct to the point
and discusses a particular course-related matter. Whether your
message is a question or a statement, make it simple and state it
directly.

message, you still need to be careful, watch over the words and
statements you put in the contents of the message. If possible, before
sending it, read it again, review it first.
5. Use only English as the language in typing a message through

Messenger. Especially if your concern is course-related and you are
communicating with your teacher. Our course will utilize English as the
medium for instruction. And this is for you to practice using English
language in both oral and written communication. Your teacher noticed
that some students send messages through Messenger not in English.
Practice using English as a language. Use our course as an opportunity
for you to practice using English especially in written communication
since we will most of the time utilize written form of communication in
our flexible mode of learning.

an acronym are capital letters. Never type the whole sentence in
capital letters. Never type a word in your sentence in all capital
letters unless it is an acronym even for emphasis purposes. Never
type a phrase or a particular phrase in your sentence in all capital

all capital letters may mean that the sender is shouting at the
receiver. If your intention is to emphasize a word or a phrase in
your sentence, never do it. The receiver will be able to get the
message anyway. In case you forgot how to write a sentence
properly, you may review again by reading English or Filipino books
or search in Google/Yahoo about proper ways of writing a sentence.
g. Exclamation point twice or more

may carry double meaning content and may also indicate a negative
interpretation. These are not appropriate and not necessary.
But if you love using symbols as additional message or

decorations in sending messages through the Messenger, choose the
symbols, emoticon, GIFs, and/or pictures that show kindness and
appreciation. Avoid the ones having negative interpretation and having
double meaning. Or just simply type your message without using any
of these symbols.
j. Words in short cut forms
If you are sending messages through messenger, type each word

in correct spelling. Especially if the message is course-related and you
will send it to your teacher. This is much better to practice your spelling
skills and to avoid misinterpretation because not all short cut word
forms are universal in meaning.
