Scenario Script 1: Module 1, Section 3, Who is Chrissy403?

Brief description: The scenario shows a vulnerable 12-year old girl who comes home from school where
she is alone for two hours each day until her mother comes home. To occupy her time, she surfs the
Internet, lingering on sites like MySpace and different chat sites. On one of the sites, she meets and
befriends Chrissy403. Learners will watch this scenario before they read the text of the lesson. They will
be able to use what they learn to judge the online users who want to befriend them online in the
interactive game.

Module 3: Communicating using the Internet Marginalia

Section 1: Email Module Objectives

Upon completion of this module, the

[MEDIA: Introduction Scenario – See script below] learner should be able to: 

- explain how to use email

Professionals use email to communicate fast and efficiently with - write email for specific audiences

Unlike more informal methods of online communication like chat, Retrieved from
blogging, and discussion boards, emails are sometimes intended to http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl
be professional when addressed to coworkers and bosses. As with
most communication, you have to consider your audience before
you write so you can choose your words and writing style carefully.

[MEDIA: Interactive Flash game. Students match email content

with audience. Students must choose appropriate audiences for
specific words (i.e. “dude”), syntax (i.e. “love ya!”), and subject (i.e.
“I am writing to request a job interview.”) by dragging the choices
to the right email for each audience.]

It is important to remember than when you are emailing

coworkers, bosses, potential bosses, teachers, and even fellow
students, you should not use informal words, style, or content. It
would be inappropriate to tell your potential boss, “love ya, dude!”
for example. When in doubt, keep it formal and avoid anything
that might be inappropriate. And remember that all email is
archived and can be reviewed at a later time!
