= = =__Settlement and Colonization Assignment 10 "Reflection"__=
 * 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.

A#1Yes, because before, I knew almost nothing about him, so I just assumed that he was another one of those great historic figures. But as the unit went on, I was disgusted by the cruel deeds he had done, started, and supervised.
 * Q#1 Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?**

A#2 Not only did he murder an entire civilization in less than 20 years, he also sold off girls under the age of 10 into sexual slavery, and fed native american babies to his dogs when he ran out of meat!! I mean, what kind of psycho does that?
 * Q#2 What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?**

A#3 Yes, because it can help you get to a more developed perspective and it can help you change other people's minds.
 * Q#3 Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?**

A#4 I think that I will use this idea of perspective in persuasive essays, other works, and to show off some knowledge in history class.
 * Q#4How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?**

=__Geography "My World" Project 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**. The one thing that I found most interesting while doing this project was that, everybody knows what happened and when in their lives, but if you try to think back on it, it is actually quite difficult.
 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

2. **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project? I think that one of the things I did well on this project was writing neatly. Because if I look back on my other years in school, I clearly recall having the messiest handwriting of the entire class.

3. **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? I think that If I could do this over again, I would improve the timeline section. I would include a few better moments, made it look a bit better in all, and write neater in the box.

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 that I used quite a few competencies in here. Use of Technology, when i was researching the world events that had happened in my life. Use of Numbers and Data, when I was calculating distances from my birthplace to other places. And communication. Because after all, I am telling you some information about myself in a variety of ways. With a graph, with a table, and on a map.

=__**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**.

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

1. One thing i found surprising, is that alot of the places were hard to guess because it looked like they were on the border or around it. 2. One thing i think i did well is work with my group, and sort of share our ideas and think whats more likely. 3. One thing I would improve is that I would write a bit neater. 4.
