Unit 2- 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 my vies of Columbus changed during our study of Columbus because I thought that Columbus was a really bad person for starting slavery & all. We were told that he did many vicious crimes such as feeding babies to dogs as food. Before we studied Columbus I knew this. But then when we were studying Columbus my view stayed the same- until the trial. During the trial I was on the defense side & as I researched more about him I got convinced that he wasn't actually a bad person. It wasn't Christopher Columbus who did everything. He was just a poor little Italian sailor with hundreds of strong Spanish sailors. He couldn't control them all. Through all this evidence I was convinced that Columbus was innocent

2. The most persuasive argument that supports that Columbus is innocent is that he was just a poor little Italian sailor & the other sailors were big strong Spanish men. Poor little Mr. Columbus couldn't control hundreds of Spanish men, which is why the cruelty happened. I believe that this is the most persuasive argument.

3. Yes because then you can be more specific, have more knowledge & maybe change your perspective about the person. If you don't learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes, we might just think of them as heroes & the world will never know that he might've been someone else. People have different sides of them- I think it's important to know them especially with famous people whom we think are heroes.

4.I think I will use the idea of perspective as I continue learning history this year & in high school by using it to learn more & become more open-minded. =

= = __Unit 2- Assignment 2__ = = = Now that you are finished with your artifact investigation, I would like you to reflect on this assignment. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**. = =
 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment?

I never knew that buffaloes lived in the great plains. I thought only small animals like rabbits & rats lived in the great plains but turns out that horses & buffaloes also lived in the great plains

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

Something I think I did well in this assignment are the journal entries. I think I really wrote the journal entries from the person's point of view. It helped me understand things better & I think that helped me practice some of the skills from the competencies.

3. **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this?

One thing I would need to improve if I were to do another assignment like this I would take more time & add more details.

4. Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies

I think we did this assignment to help us with our reading skills & map skills & develop some of the skills from the competencies. This helped us with teamwork because we had to work with a partner & discuss the possibilities with a partner. This way, we could look at things from another point of view as well so I think that helped with our teamwork skills.

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

One thing I found out that was interesting from doing this project was when my dad told me at the age of 3, a korean soccer club came to Bangladesh & I met the players.

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

One thing I think I did well in this project is labeling where I've been to & the legend.

//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 improve on making it neater & better quality. I don't think I put as much effort into this project as I would've liked to so if I had another chance I would put more effort to make it better.

//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 this project should go under 'Use of Numbers & Data' because we had to collect data, & show it in different ways. Like, we showed where we've been to on a map & by writing it. Also we had to collect events that happened in our lives & events that happened in the world & show it on a timeline. Because we used different ways to show this information, I think this should go under 'Use of Numbers & Data'
