 * 1) **Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?**
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?**
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?**
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?**
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;"><range type="comment" id="625868">Yes, my views on Columbus did change during our study of Columbus. Before this class, I didn't really have a clear idea on Columbus, all I knew was that he discovered America, so I thought he was a hero. After all we learned though, over the course of the unit my views changed because I learned about how cruel he was towards the Natives even though they tried to help Columbus. I also learned that his actions killed thousands of Native Americans and they paved the way for hundred of years of slave trading. Also being on the prosecution I learnt even more about his various misdeeds, and after that I couldn't think of him as a hero anymore.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">The facts that he and his actions wiped out most of the Native American population and put the Africans though misery for hundreds of years just for some gold is enough of an argument to make me believe that Columbus is a villain and can never be a hero because his bad actions trump the good actions.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">Yes, it is important to learn the different perspectives because we can't assume someone is a villain because of all the bad things he or she has done, we also need to take in to consideration the good things they have done by looking at the perspectives of others. Same goes for heroes, we need to consider different perspectives and then decide wether or not we consider them to be a hero or a villain.
 * 8) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">As I continue to learn history throughout this year and all through high school, I think I will use the idea of perspective to analyze different people, places and things. I will also learn about the perspectives that other people have and why they may or may not believe those things.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment?**
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Explain one thing you think you did well in this assignment?**
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this?**
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies?**
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">One thing I found most interesting about this assignment was how it was taught. I found it so interesting that we had to investigate the culture by looking at placards and then guessing which tribe lived in what region and then taking notes instead of just taking notes on the tribes.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">One thing I did well on this assignment is that Natasha and I managed our time well and got all the thing we needed to have finished, done on time. I think that we took the correct amount of time at each placard in order to ensure that all our answers were correct.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">Next time if I do an assignment like this I need to work harder on the story bit. Near the end I noticed that all m stories sounded about the same. Next time I will take just a little more time in order to make sure that the story component is better.
 * 8) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">I think that this goes in to the problem solving and teamwork competency because Natasha and I had to work as a team and use our problem solving skills in order to deduce where each tribe lived in North America.

 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?**
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Explain one thing you think you did well in this project?**
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?**
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">**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?**
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">One of the things I found most interesting about this projects is going back and talking to my parents about things which had happened in my life when I was younger and also talking to them about how I have moved house over 13 times and have moved from country to country 6 times and talking about all the places I have been too.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">I think I did a good job on finding both events that happened worldwide and events that happened in my life and then putting them on to the timeline neatly.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">One thing that I think I should improve next time when I do a project like this, next time I will try to be more accurate when calculating the distance between places using the scale that is found on maps.
 * 8) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 90%;">I think that this goes under communication, because I had to communicate with the members of my family in order to get the information I needed. Also I think this goes under communication <range type="comment" id="547722">because I am communicating parts of my life through this project.
