Assignment 10- Reflection
Yes, my views on Columbus did change as we studied more about him and learnt about the different perspectives about him. I feel like I now know the truth about him because the only time I ever learnt about him before was in 3rd Grade and there we learnt that he was a hero who discovered what is today known as America. After learning about the ways he treated the native americans I was a bit disgusted especially with the sexual slavery part and also the cutting off parts of the native americans part. And even though I know it wasn't he who started the black slave trading, he was in some ways the seed that started it all. So, basically now my view on Columbus is that he was an evil person who treated the colored like property and gave them no respect.
 * 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?** My most persuasive argument that Columbus is an evil person is that there is no denying the cruel ways he himself or had ordered his men to treat the native americans, who were so welcoming to them, even though they had never seen white men before in their lives. Another argument is that Columbus used the trust of the natives by making them find gold for him and making them build his settlements. He was inhuman to the natives because no one would use the punishments that he used which include making them drink soap, burning them alive and have attack dogs rip them apart.

3. **Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?** Yes, I believe it is important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes because then we know the real truth about them. I mean, some perspectives might be biased towards the person we call a hero and some might be totally against them. If we were to learn all the perspectives about our hero, then I think we would be able to make up our own mind whether that person is a hero or a villain.

4. **How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year in high school?** As I'm learning about different people in high school, I will make sure I know about the various perspectives about the different people we are studying, so I can decide what I think of that person, or whether or not I agree with what the teacher or my peers have to say about him/her.

= __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**. What I found really interesting during this assignment was learning how the different cultural regions reacted to their different environments, while their weather might have been similar to the weather of another cultural region. I liked that part the most because it was cool how the native people used what they had to make tools and huts which would help them get food and be safe and keep themselves warm or cool (depending on the season). It was also really interesting looking at how different cultural regions reacted to weather when another cultural region had similar weather.
 * 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? During this assignment, one thing that I did well was using the artifacts well as clues. The reason that I am saying this is because for some people it was a challenging matching the artifacts to the correct regions, but I think that I used logic and sense to pick the closest one and 7/8 times I was right. So that is why I think that matching the artifacts to the appropriate region was something that I did well.

3.**Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this? If I were to do this assignment again, one thing that I would improve on would be my journal entries. The main reason to why they would be the thing I would do again is because all of them didn't include all of the environmental factors, though they did include all the artifacts. And I think I would have to include all the environmental to make the reader truly understand what that cultural region was like.

4.Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies? I think that this assignment helped me develop the competency of problem solving. It's because during this project we had to solve which artifacts goes to which regions and that was our main problem. And in order to solve it we had to think about which was the most logical answer and match it up to the map in order to find out where the artifacts came from.

__Unit 1__ __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**. One thing that I found really interesting while doing this project is learning about all the places I've been to and finding out about some of my childhood memories that I forgot. The main reason that I found this the most interesting is because it was really cool actually finding all the places I've been to on a map and then in the end looking at the map to see all the places at the same time. I also found learning about my childhood interesting because it was fun sitting with my mom and reliving all the moments in my life where some funny and serious things happened to me. And while reliving the memories, I was reminded of other events in my life which was fun because I forgot about them.
 * 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? I think I labeled my map really well in this project. The reason I think this is because you can see all the oceans and continents really clearly and you can also see the many different places I've lived, visited and touched, all in different colors easily all over the map.

3. **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? If I were to do another project like this, I would make my timeline neater. I think that there are too many words on my timeline, and if I could do it again, I would write my information on my timeline in such a way that the information looks neater.

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? I think that I worked on Problem Solving during this project. I think I worked on Problem Solving because there were times during the project where I didn't know what to do, like when I didn't know how to place everything on my poster and when I didn't know how to put my information on my timeline. Then, I had to trust my instincts and try to solve my problem as best as I could and see what would be the most appealing for the eyes and what would be the best way. So I think it was times like those where I was working on Problem Solving .
