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.

4. 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 poster, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**.
 * 1) Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?
 * 2) ** Yes they did. They changed because i had never learned about this side of Columbus before so it was a shock to see the truth and find out about the things he really did. I no longer see Columbus in the way i used to. **
 * 3) What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?
 * 4) ** I think the most persuasive is the terrible crimes he comitted against the Natives. Yes, there are many different offenses but the worst, to me, was feeding the native babies to dogs. I thought it was terrible to think he had no value for life. He just didn't care about the natives. **
 * 5) Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?
 * 6) ** Yes i do, because, like we saw, alot of people think columbus was a hero but we learned that he committed some terrible crimes and so that changed our views on him. It should be the same for every other person we consider heroes. We only see one side of them. For Columbus it was the amazing explorer who discovered America. The bad side was the one that killed millions of Natives. **
 * I think i will use it to see that not everyone we consider heroes are really heroes. There is a different side to everybody and i will use the element of perspective to notice that. **
 * 1) **Explain**one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?
 * 2) **I was surprised at the varied world events that have happened during my lifetime. I was also amazed at the amount of countries that I have actually visited.**
 * 3) **Explain**one thing you think you did well in this project?
 * 4) **I tried to give a varied selection of world events to make it more interesting.**
 * 5) **Explain**one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?
 * 6) **Pay more attention to time management. **
 * 7) 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?
 * 8) **Use of Technology. Because i had to the use the internet to find the different world events that happened during my lifetime. Use of Numbers and Data because I used numbers in my timeline.**
