I didn't have any views of Columbus before we started learning about it because I didn't have much interreste in learning about him and what he did so, my views did change while learning about him. Due to the trial we had, I have many views of him now since there was a defense side and a prosecution side. 2. My most persuasive argument was that he might have been a villain but he's also done some good things. I don't really have a perspective of him right now because I think he's a villain & a good person for some of the things he has done. 3. Yes, I think it's important to learn about different perspectives about who we think are heroes because if someone had a bad view on a hero and learned good things about him/her there perspectives might change. 4. I think I will use the idea of perspective as I continue learning about history & in high school by listening what others might have to say about something I disagree on and change my perspective on some things depending on what I find out about the person/hero.

 * Explain **** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? **
 * If was I was do another project similar to this one I would color my map nicer and I would add more color to my timeline. **


 * 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? **
 * During this project I think I worked on Use of Technology because we had to refer ourselves to the Wiki when we forgot what to do on the Timeline and or map. I also worked on Use of Numbers And Data because I had to use the map in the book to be able to locate the different oceans and continents. **

= • Assignment Number Two - Reflection =


 * Explain ** ** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment? **
 * What I found most interesting about this assignment was writing a journal entry because we wrote depending on our prospective by just looking at a picture. **


 * Explain ** **one thing you think you did well in this assignment?**
 * On this assignment I think one thing I succeed well was the journal entry. The reason to this is because my partner, Zainab, and I, wrote the journal entry’s as if we lived in there time and in my opinion my partner and I’s journal entry’s were very realistic. **


 * Explain ** ** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this? **
 * If I were to re do this assignment again, I would have made my handwriting neater so it would be easier to read. **


 * Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies? **
 * The reason for us doing this assignment was to learn about the similarities and the differences between the regions. This assignment helped me develop teamwork competency. We worked as a pair to understand better the questions and be able to help each other. That is why I think teamwork is the competency we developed while working on this assignment. **
