Scenario - Design Situation

Primary school students are entering a world where everything is digital. Their e-mails to the teacher, parents even their social lives are based online! As you are in Term 3 of grade 7 and are familiar with the e-mail writing you are taking the responsibility of a mentor to teach primary school students about e-mail writing netiquette. While emails to friends can be littered with abbreviations, contain no formal structure, and be sent at two in the morning, this is not how students should format a job interview thank-you-note. As students get older, it is important to learn the dos and don’t of email, as well as other online etiquette, so these avoidable faux pas are prevented. Your task is to design a visual representation of the basic Do's and Don't's of  e-mail netiquette along with a formal draft letter which needs to be written to a school requesting information about the admission process in that school.

Chart 1:

Email	To use
To	Write the person’s email, in a small box, saying “To”.
Cc	When you would like, to send it to more than one person, you press the Cc button, in order to have that copied and shown to someone else
Bcc	Is the opposite of Cc when you want to turn the Cc feature off you press this button.
Reply to all	When someone sends and email, to you, you have the option to send a reply to whatever that person sent, this is much easier than making another email to that person.
Attachments
Adress book	Adress book is a certain database or data of you in your email that consists of a few things like Your name, last name, and more.

Chart2:

Forwarding	Forwarding refers to the operation of re-sending an email message that was meant to be sent  to one email address however, was probably sent to another.
Primary emails	There is one part of email, that allows you to see the emails of different people that have been sent to you, this area allows you to see the replies people have sent to you as well as the email itself
Social emails	In this you can see, any social type of emails, for example, instagram notifications and youtube and more
Promotion emails	This allows you to see ads and best of all, allows you to find notifications or alarms on important things, telling you when you have signed up to a website, when you bought something and more.
