__Assignment 10- Reflection__
My view of Columbus did change during this unit. Before this unit I thought Columbus was a brave hero who discovered the new world and was very heroic and innocent. But after this unit I found out who Columbus was. He was a psychopath who used human trafficking. Who created all sorts of mass suicide. He was truly a criminal who in no right mind deserved to be recognized as a hero. Columbus created African slavery that is a huge deal. Yes he has never set foot in Africa and yes there was slavery before Columbus but Columbus did start African slavery when he made the whole Idea of the triangle trade. Which he was the one whom said that Natives were too weak and the whites needed Africans for Labor. Not only that but his thoughts were later on passed down to his son and he became the first African slave trader. Another crucial argument is that there were Slavery before but there was never this huge amount of Slaves that were brought with force. I think it is important that you learn different perspectives. Because as a wise man said there are 2 sides to the story whether it is right or wrong. Where for the Natives they were never recognized. Where the truth came out about Columbus' wrong doings. I think I will use this Idea in high school when we learn about other greats, I would think to my self is this hero like Gandhi or Hitler Alexander Ghenkis and Columbus.
 * __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.
 * Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?
 * What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?
 * Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?
 * How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?

=__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**. > I found that guessing and using different tools to locate and make educated guesses very cool > I think I did well on guessing and noticing the little things on the artifacts. > I think generally it was great except it would have been better with color. > using numbers and data would be perfect for this assignment. > > ASSIGNMENT 1 >> If I had to say one thing that was interesting or found surprising while doing this project would be... the Y2k bug there are 2 reasons the Y2k bug was the most interesting that I have found. one: Because every one thought that the world was going to end. 2: Because we have a similar situation where a lot of people think that the world will end in 2012. >> ‍One thin I liked about this project is that it was very ahh whats the word? lets just say very picturey (sorry I don't know the word) >> I think I could improve on my neatness and the coloring of my map and me note cards like using more colors and coloring the ocean. >> I guess it would be a mixture of use of numbers and data and Use of technology because, we used computers to find our data ‍
