PSE for screen printing Halftones

New Here ,
Mar 16, 2023 Mar 16, 2023

I'm using PSE 2022 on a MAC and having a difficult time converting a photo for screen printiing.  In MODE I've converted the photo to grayscale and then selected BITMAP.  In the BITMAP box, my Resolution and Output both match at 300 pixels/inch.  HOWEVER, when I select "Method" I do not have an option to use Halftone Screen.  I need to find the settings for the screen frequency and angle.  I'm lost trying to work this out.   Surely someone has a workable solution!  TIA

I know nothing about Halftone Printing, but does this help:

Thank you for the response.  I used the Pixelate menu as you suggested.  I'm still not finding a way to control the frequency for the mesh for screen printng.  It seems to be very straight forward in PS.  I'm about to decide that there isn't a workaround in Elements.

Again, I know nothing about half-tone printing, but changing the radius from 4 (the minimum value) to 8, and changing the ppi from 72 to 300 ppi gave me these 4 different results:
