Tell us the level of students with whom you plan on teaching as well as your content area or the content area you have chosen for the newsletter. Tell us the standard you are working with. Then, describe the benchmark and/or grade level indicators you were working with on the Newsletter assignment.

Level of Students: 9th grade
Content Area: Language Arts
Standard: Reading Applications: Informational, Technical, and Persuasive Text
Benchamark: Analyze information found in maps, charts, tables, graphs, diagrams, cutaways, and overlays.
My newsletter represents a "learner-centered activity," because the subheading that was more difficult than the rest was the one that had the footnote (that way other students could go to that page and clear up any questions that they had, or to find out more information). I also believe this because every one of the subheadings had a chart or bullet point next to it, with example information and the students had to go and research that information in order to be able to analyze it correctly. The students were working together in groups and then had to reteach the benchmark they received to the students in the class.
