=__Unit 2 Assignment 10:__=
 * 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 i always thought of Columbus as a hero and I never knew anything about the other side of him, now i think of him as a villan because he was willing to wipe out have of an innocent population just to get some gold. He also made the idea of slavery known to the world.==== ====2. I think that my most persuasive arguement is that he brought the idea of slavery known to the world. He might not have started it but like he made the new world know he made the idea of slavery known and he commited genocide to inncoent native americans, It was so bad thay they would kill them selves than to find out what lies ahed.==== ====3. I do think that it is important to look at both perspectives because many people have many different opinions and it is important to understand them because you might change your opinions after hearing theirs. I think it is also important to watch out for who we call heros because you might not have heard the full story, for example columbus we thought he was nice and he made Spain rich but no many knew how he got the gold and what he did to the innocent caring native americans.==== ====4. I think I will use this lesson any time i am researching a man or history or an event that took place in the world because I would want to know who the person is and what is the full story of what happend because it is unfair if we just look at one perspective and it would be even worse if we are celebrating criminals.====

 * 1. The thing //I found// most interesting was using information like clothing to find other information like location.**


 * 2. One thing that i did well in was communicating and working with my teammate. We both would work on two different stations at one time and then shared the information that we both got, which made us work fast and efficiently.**


 * 3. I would work on the part where i had to tell a small story after i find information on the place, i would make the storys a little more creative.**


 * 4. I think we did this assignment to learn about the cultures and the environments of the native americans and this assignment helped me improve my teamwork because it helped me to become more openminded to my partners ideas and thoughts.**

1. What I found interesting about this project was learning more about the world and what happened in the years while doing the timeline. 2. I think i did good in the timeline because i made it neat and colorful and also i did well in finding events in the world and about me. 3. I think that i would have not colored the oceans on the map because it made some of the makings harder to see and i would have made my compass rose better 4. i think that the competency that was used most in this project was communication. I think so because i was communicating to other about my past and where i have been and also what happened in the world in those times.
