Watch Bramble draw it, then trace it with a finger. The numbers show which stroke comes first.
Watch Bramble draw the letter. Press Replay to watch again, then try it with your finger.
Lower case m
Down the stick, back up, over the hill and down. Back up, over the next hill, and down.
Capital M
Down the stick. Slide down to the line and up to the top. Then down the last stick.
Your device is set to reduce motion, so the letters are drawn already. Use the "One stroke at a time" button to see the order.

For grown-ups
These letters begin with a stick, retrace back up it, and then arch over to the right. Retracing is the tricky bit: slow it down and say the words as you write.
What to look for. Check that the arch starts part-way up the stick and not at the top of it, and that b and p have bowls the same size as the bowl in a and d.
This is one clear, unjoined model. Your school will follow its own scheme, and the strokes may differ a little. Where they do, use your school's way. The grown-ups page has advice on posture, grip and left-handed writers.
