__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?
 * 2) **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?
 * 3) **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?
 * 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?

1. Seeing the various places I went that I know about, but also the places I don't know about because I went there when I was so little such as Switzerland ,Germany, etc.

2.I think I did a good job in decorating the time line and also because I didn't miss any dates from date of birth to the present day. The timeline is divided by top half being world and bottom half being my life.

3.I think I could write smaller but not to small because most of the events were cramped in to the box I gave to keep them in order, some of the entries you wouldn't understand.

4.Use Of Technology Because for 12 out of 13 events I had to research world events and chose one that is relevant and also make sure that most of the events don't relate or are to similar because then the time line becomes boring.

Assignment 10- Reflection

 * 1) Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?
 * 2) What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?
 * 3) Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?
 * 4) How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?

1. Yes because I used to think Columbus made some bad decisions which were minor, but afterwards I found out the truth about Columbus that he did commit genocide using his people and destroyed entire tribes just for gold.

2.he took his army to the new world and after failed negotiation with natives, he enslaved them and used several methods of torture,Built a fort and use the natives to mine gold for the Spanish fleet and he withered an entire population of millions, to zero.

3.yes because most people may blindly follow an idol or an icon with no regret but other people may know another part of the character that the majority may not know about him/her which may make him look like a good or even a bad person .Sometimes people may make judgement depending on stories or rumors told about him/her but others may know a different part of the story depending on there perspective.

4.yes because there will be other people who others might see many more perspectives to the character that I may not know or spot about him/her which helps my judgement to chose a perspective.

__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?
 * 2) **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this assignment?
 * 3) **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this?
 * 4) Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies


 * 1.** What I found interesting was that the Native Americans were so adapted and developed and had such a rich culture ,heritage and art before the the east found out about the Americas.


 * 2.** One thing i did well was finding and analyzing the key point and clues that helped us find the tribe to which the artifacts belonged to.


 * 3.** I could be better at being more detailed when we worked on the reasons why it belonged to the certain tribe rather than giving just straight statements.


 * 4.** I think we did this assignment to understand the Native American tribes better and to help us begin our Native American topic. The competency it helped me develop was team work because we had to look and give argument of were the tribe must have been situated.
