I think I am most prepared to teach ELA standard RL.7 Multiamedia Literature. This standard has a lot to do with utilizing different forms of technology and comparing its use in forms of literature. I have had a lot of experience in dissecting tone, purpose, etc. so I think that analyzing literature in different ways based on technology would be doable for me. I think the standard that requires more learning for me is the W/WHST.8 “Use Multiple Sources”. This standard requires assessing the credibility of websites to ensure they are reliable. This standard will require more learning for me because I can tend to believe a lot of what I read and need to get more used to using reliable websites such as ones with .edu or .org. 

When I was looking at other images of classroom newsletter designs to get inspired with how I wanted mine to look like i realized there's a lot you can do with Microsoft word to make it look more fun and colorful. I liked the shading tool that we had to implement and think that added a lot of color into the newsletter. I also did not realize how many pictures were loaded onto Microsoft word that we can use without citing where we got it. I am used to finding pictures off google and copy and pasting it without saying where it came from. I enjoyed this assignment overall. I liked designing a newsletter for a classroom and felt that the skills we learned in class helped! I think next time I can adjust my layout so that it can fit more information in the pages. This will help me in my future career because newsletters are things that teachers utilize in their classroom and is something that I will utilize as well.
