 * 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. My view toward Columbus changed drastically during our study because, from what I had known previously, I thought that Columbus was a villain. Although I don't particularly think of him as a hero, I now think that what he is accused of is not wholly his deed. I think most of my opinions changed during the trial, listening to the defense, who had some effective evidences. 2. The most persuasive argument that supports my current perspective about Columbus is that he didn't approve of the hand cuttings and all those tortures and that he didn't commit all those crimes but it was his men who did them for real. 3. I think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes because our perspective toward those people might change if we learn other things that we hadn't known before or most of the resources didn't mention. Also, by learning different perspectives, we would learn much more pros and cons about an event or a person. 4. I think I will use the idea of perspective to learn more about events or people for there might be some missing information since if someone writes about something with a certain perspective, they might not include the ideas that don't go with the author's perspective. So I guess in that way, I could learn much more.

=__Unit 2; 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**.
 * 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?
 * 3) **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this?
 * 4) Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies?


 * 1) The thing that interest me the most was the fact that the Native Americans used to live in complete harmony with nature. They have managed to survive and maintain their livelihood by adapting the nature, not using them up like modern people.
 * 2) The one think I think I did well in this assignment is that I did not bad at guessing the regions and about their environment before checking.
 * 3) If I need to improve when I was to do another assignment like this, I think I can do better at journal entries since I was kind of in hurry to finish early, not giving as much thought as I did in guessing.
 * 4) I think we did this assignment to improve on guessing on given data. I also think that we did it to get some good ideas on Native Americans before we study the history of US further. As I said, it helped me to develop problem solving since we were to guess from the give data.

=__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**.
 * 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 most surprising thing that I found was that I did't know about what happened to me in the past and having problem gathering the data.
 * 2) I think I did well in finding information though not so well in putting it in the timeline.
 * 3) I think I could improve in neatness and being more colorful if I were to do another project like this.
 * 4) I think I worked on Use of Numbers and Data bacause I was finding the data about what happened in which year to make the timeline.
