Let me show you. Uppercase E, we start at the top, go down, go back to the top, across at the top, go to the middle, across at the middle, go to the bottom, across at the bottom. And these are all straight lines, straight lines. Let's look at lowercase E. Lowercase E, you have to start towards the bottom, find your point, go across or out to the side, and curve all the way around. Yes, you see, lowercase E and uppercase E are a little different, but we'll practice writing them later this week. Actually, tomorrow. So get ready. Let's put E on the board.
