Newsletter Reflection

I plan to become a 5th grade Language Arts English teacher. I want to become an 5th grade English teacher because i love children at this age they are not too young to learn something new and they are not too old to change. I also choose English because it was my favorite subject in school. The Benchmark is to compare Literature history to Literature today and do so using technology to input the information they have learned from our class.

In the Newsletter exercise I had my students focus on the history, life and plays of William Shakespeare. I don't know much about William Shakespeare myself but i do know he was a great asset and author when it comes to Literature. In the Newsletter the students were also suppose to tell me three of their favorite Shakespeare plays and why they choose those plays. The newsletter was also to include a chart of the students three favorite plays the year they were published, and what type of play it was. This was not a group assignment so each student would have to share personal feeling on why they choose that play. This would give me an ideal on what interested the student and how much they learned from the previous classes about Shakespeare. This will also help the student get comfortable using Microsoft Word i think it was a great assignment.
