**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 it did, because before we learned about Columbus i thought that he was a man who discovered America, and did many great things for his country. Now that we learned about it i know that he isnt the man i always thought he was, he was cruel and did many bad things.

2. Children know Columbus as a man who did many great things and a man who discovered America, but i think they should know the real truth of Columbus and not be suprised about it when they finally learn what he actually did. Columbus was a man who discovered America, but do you know what he did? He met the Urokwai's, innocent, helpful and very kind, people. They helped Columbus and his men, get food and shelter, but Columbus saw how kind they were and saw the gold they had and he made them into slaves. If they didn't get gold for Columbus his men would cut of his arms, and if they ran away he would cut of their legs or make a dog rip their hands and legs of. so most of the Natives suicided. Did you know that girls from ages 9-10 were sexual slaves for Columbus's men? yeah so Columbus didn't turn out to be a great man that i always thought he was when i was younger.

3. Yes i do, because you can know what the two sides were thinking and maybe figure out what really happened and maybe see the truth in their story. If you just listen to one side it isn't fair, because the other side might have a completely different story. Another reason would be that one side might be lying and you wouldn't know that unless you listen to the other side of the story.

4. I think we can use the idea of perspectives with friends, for example if two friends are in a fight you can solve the problem if you listen to what both of them have to say. Also if we learn about things similar to what we were learning about (colonization) we can use it to see what people think.

**Reflection:**

 * 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. I found the world events on the timeline really interesting, because i didn't even know half the events that happened during the past 13 years of my life.

2. I think my rose compass was good even though it was small. I also think that the continents were on the right place so that was good.

3. I could have made each continent a different color, because i made all the continents green and made the words different color. I could have also colored a bit better.

4. I think the competency would be use of numbers and data, because we had to find the dates of what events happened it was also use of technology because we used the internet to get the information that we needed.

Reflection

 * 1) **1.Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment?**

the thing that i found most interesting was that one of the tribes made some kind of apartment that they lived in!!! I never knew apartments existed back then! I also found interesting that some tribes wear only skirts and no top.


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

I think i did well on finding out what tribe each artifact belonged to even if i got some wrong and i also did well on working with my partner.

I think i could have improved on the journal writing, because some of them would be very plain for example "Today i wore my deer cape and went out of the house to see my dad go hunt for deers with his bow and arrow." So maybe i could have made it more interesting.
 * 3. Explain** **one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this?**

I think this assignment belongs to teamwork and problem solving. It was teamwork because we worked as a pair to figure things out and it was problem solving because we had to look at different maps to figure out what the tribe's name was.
 * 4. Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies?**
