 * __Step 2__**
 * Directions:** Whether you think Christopher Columbus is a hero or villain, or guilty or not guilty of crimes against humanity, what is known is that when he landed in the New World in 1492, the world changed forever. Please answer the following reflection questions __**on your wiki page**__ clearly and with details.

**1. Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?**

Yes, my views of Columbus did change during our study of Columbus. Before our study of Columbus, I thought he was a hero. I thought he was a hero because he discovered the New World. Without him the triangular trade couldn't have started. If he hadn't discovered the New World, maybe nobody would have. Now after our study of Columbus I think he is a villain. I learned that he conquered the land of the Native Americans. He made the Native Americans his slaves. He tortured the Native Americans. He also killed many of the Native Americans. Now I think that Columbus is guilty because he made terrible crimes against humanity.

**2.What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?**

The most persuasive argument that supports my current perspecive about Columbus is that he enslaved, tortured and killed many of the Native Americans. I think that if Columbus would have not committed any of these crimes, my perspective would have changed about him. Since he actually did commit these crimes, I think he is a villain. Even though he made great discoveries and got fantastic ideas, he killed a lot of innocent people, which I think is a very gruesome thing to do**.**

**3.Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?**

Yes, I do think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes**.** By learning different perspectives about people we think are heroes help us understand how some people may have a certain perspective about a hero, and how some may disagree and have a different perspective about a hero. By learning different perspectives about heroes help us undertstand the hero in various different views. People have different beliefs, so that affects their perspective. This is why it is important to learn about different perspectives**.**

**4.How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?**

I think I will use the idea of perspective to determine how each person believes something. I can continue to use the idea of perspective by determining what I know, and what I learned about the topic in history**.** I also think that perspective in high school will be very important because by perspective people can have dfferent opinions and views about eh topic.I think the idea of perspective will help me a lot in high school to learn about different topics in history. Perspectives can also change after studying the topic properly, or someone persuading you. Perspective is very important and may be more important in high school. = = =__Unit 2, Assignment 2__= Now that you are finished with your Native American artifact investigation, I would like you to reflect on this assignment. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**. **1. Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment?

One thing that I found the most surprising while doing this assignment was finding out that Native Americans lived differently in all the parts of North America. I thought all the Native American wore the same types of clothes, had the same types of shelter, and also ate the same food. But, after doing this assignment I learned that Native Americans lived differently according to where they lived in North America.

**2. Explain** one thing you think you did well in this assignment?

One thing I think I did well in this assignment was that I guessed most of the places in North America right. The map section which we were given had housing, clothing, and food. So after looking at the placards we could guess where which place was because we could see what place was in the place where all the three categories matched.

**3.Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this?

One thing I would want to improve on if we were to do another assignment like this is I would want to match the food, shelter, and clothing category to the exact place where they might be, but I didn't match places up properly sometimes, so I got a completely different place than the place where it should be.

4.Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies?

I think we did this assignment to know more about Native Americans and how they lived in North America.I think this assignment developed my problem solving competency because we had to solve where would the placard go and why would it go there. = = =__Unit 1, Assignment 2__= __ Now that you are finished with your poster, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**. __ 1. **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

During this project I found out a lot of things about myself and my friends. There were a lot of things that surprised me, and there were a lot of things I learned that were interesting. One thing that surprised me the most was the timeline. It wasn't the "Personal Events" it was the "World Events" that shocked me. When I was looking for world events that happened during my life I found out huge events. There were events which I never knew about. This Project helped me to know more about the world, and also helped me know more about myself.

2. **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?

One thing I think I did well in this Project was that I put important and good information on my timeline. There are a lot of personal and world events that aren't very important. I put down personal events on my timeline which affected me a lot, and I put down world events which looked important to the world. I didn't put down world events which would probably be not recognized by a lot of people.

3. **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?

One thing I would like to improve the most if we were to do another project like this is to measure the miles from my birthplace to another place visited or lived properly. I didn't check the miles again, and again for the exact estimate and I didn't use a ruler. So next I will measure things as close to exact. Another thing I could also improve is spending more time to make my poster neat and colorful.

4.Which one of the competencies (Teamwork, Use of Technology, Communication, Problem Solving, Use of Numbers and Data) do you think you worked on during this project? Why do you think so?

I think we worked on the competency "Use of Numbers and Data" during this project. This is because we used numbers to measure the miles from our birthplace to the places where we lived or visited. We also used numbers to show what event happened in each year. We used data on our big index card when we had to group the places we lived, visited, and touched.
