Hint for students
A message is information that someone sends, says, writes, or leaves for another person.
Common mix-up
Message is not the same as a letter. A letter can contain a message, but a message can also be spoken, texted, or written on a small note.
Try it in class or at home
Write one sentence that shows message without using the word message. Example: Ben wrote, "Practice is canceled," and left the note on the door. Clue words: wrote, Practice is canceled, note on the door Now try your own sentence. Ask: Does my sentence show information being sent or left for someone?
