The one ELA standard I feel prepared to teach my students is: "Summarize the points a speaker or media source makes and explain how each claim is unsupported by reasons and identify or analyze any logical fallacies." As a student editor and being published several times myself I am fully aware of how to write in a way that is logically sound no matter how it is interpreted. I have extensive experience helping other students write with this factual authority, and believe I can teach students the same.

One ELA standard I might have trouble implementing is.: "Evaluate advantages of medium to present a topic, (ex. print, digital text, video, multimedia)." Because I have a fairly biased experience with which mediums I would use (mainly digital) I would mostly encourage students to do the same.

I was surprised how well the Newsletter turned out, I thought I would need a graphic design degree to make a viable newsletter, but I was very happy with the overall look of my newsletter, I think it's pleasing to look at:


I was delighted by this assignment because I got to truly make something aesthetically pleasing with little effort, I learned that you can manipulate word in many different ways from this assignment to make an appealing graphical newsletter.
