Assignment 3 Part 1 = = 1. Imagine you are an American....How would you deal with those tribes in the territories your country gained (peacefully and non-peaceful)

If I were an American I wouldn't have a choice but to use non-peaceful methods since it is rightfully their land and our communication would be challenging. I would have either tell them to move to different land or if they don't agree, tell my soldiers to kill them off to get the land.

Year ||~  ||~ Which area? Size? (be specific) ||~  ||~ 2. Imagine you are a Native American.....How would you deal with the Americans taking over your territory?

If I were a Native American dealing with Americans taking over my territory I would tell them that the land is rightfully mine. If they would not respect this statement I would use my knowledge of the land to make smart battle tactics to attack them and scare them away from my land.

 * __Step 2__**


 * Directions:** 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.


 * 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. During the study of Columbus my views during changed about him. I didn't know before we learned about him that he was the person that was responsible for the African Slave Trade. I knew that he discovered America but i didn't know that he killed so many people when trying to take over their land and Resources. I didn't know before that Columbus was such a cruel person and all this information changed my perspective of him to a horrible person. 2. My most persuasive argument of my opinion about Columbus is that he was the one that lead to the Triangular Trade which almost killed the whole African people. To think that one man could do all that with one Idea. This supports my perspective that Columbus was a horrible person. 3.I think that it is important to learn the different perspectives about people who we think are humans so we know what happened in both the perspectives so you can analyze the information from both the perspectives and decide what you think of the person. If you don't know the information from both sides you could for example call someone a mass murderer without knowing the perspective of someone else. That perspective from the other person could change your mind. So yes it is important for me. 4. As I continue learning history this year and in high school I will try to use perspective when learning about history so I can hear the Idea about someone from different thoughts about that person so I can understand the topic better with more detail. This could also help me become more open-minded trough hearing two different sides.

=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 a person could be so good at hunting that they could actually manage to kill a seal by throwing a harpoon.

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

Something I think I did well in this assignment were the journal entries, because I think I wrote them well from their point of view. It helped me understand their daily life style more.

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 would be to get more detail and problem solve the assignment better.

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 analyzing skills and our map reading skills. I think that this would go under teamwork, because we worked with a partner on this assignment to see their point of view about the question. = = = = =Jeramiah Seidl= Social Studies 8F 20th, August 2011 =__Assignment 2 Geography__= 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) **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. While doing this project the thing that surprised was about the world timeline and what happened in those years, because I had not known and forgot many of the things that were in the timeline.

2. What I think I did good on this project was my details on the map and on the timeline.

3. The thing I would want to improve would be the neatness especially on my compass flower of the map, and my spelling on the timeline so i would not have had to use white- out.

4. I think from all the competencies this assignment would go under the Use of Technology one, because I had to use the computer a lot to find my timeline information about the world. Without a computer I think project would have been a much bigger challenge than without one.media type="custom" key="12870060"
