__Assignment 10- Reflection__

 * __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. Yes, my view of Columbus because when I learned about Columbus in 3rd grade, I just learned that he was a guy that found America and thought that was good. But in 8th grade I learned about what happened to Native Americans, I learned how cruel Columbus was and killed them almost all. Then my views about Columbus had changed.

2. I think that Columbus is a guilty man in my perspective because as I said, I thought that Columbus was a hero that found America but now I learned how he killed the poor Native American cruelly and started the idea of triangular trade, it made me change my view on him and I feel like he's not a hero anymore.

3. I think it is important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes because maybe I only think about my idea and my perspective and not the others, people will start to leave me and people should learn about thinking about others too and not making others a bad person. Like me and my friend got into a fight and I was telling the story to my another friend in my point of view and not thinking about the friend's point of view, that will make the friend a bad person to my another friend. Same as Columbus, if we only learn about his point of view and not the Natives and the Africans, it might be same as thinking not that interested in Native Americans and the Africans.

4. Using the idea of perspective will help me continue learning history this year and in high school because it will help me learn about thinking of others view and in high school, we will learn more about heroes and what they did and also their behind story about what they did to be a hero, like Columbus. Learning about different perspective might help me learn how to think in different ways and that can make me a better person.


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

When I was doing this assignment I found it really interesting because it was fun to find out and guess what regions the tribes lived just looking at the evidences or hints that there was in the placard. It was fun how the Native American lived differently and had different cultures, how they survived at what kinds of environment they had.

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

I think that me and Johanne worked well as a team and listening to each other's opinions and guess what regions the Native Americans lived in. Basically this is called 'Teamwork'.

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

If I had do this assignment again, I wouldn't improve on anything because we (Johanne and I) thought we did well together as a Team and when we guessed or guestimated, we always got right. I love my teammate.

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

I think that this assignment goes into Problem Solving because just looking at the placards, we had to guess which regions the Native Americans belonged to and this assignment helped me to develop guessing, estimating and thinking skills just by looking at the pictures. Also it helped me to listen to each other and work together as a Team. = = = = = = =__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**. When I was working on this project I found that when I was searching for the world's big event, because there were so many things that I didn't know about.
 * 1) **Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?**

I think I did well on my timeline because I wrote good events that happened in my life and the world and it was fun. I think I really did well in this poster.
 * 2****. Explain** **one thing you think you did well in this project?**

If I had to improve if I did another project like this, I would make it more colorfully because when I looked at everyone's theirs was so colorful but mine was just plain white with different colored pens. So next time, I would make it colorful.
 * 3.** **Explain** **one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?**

I think this project goes into Problem solving because I was trying to solve what happened in my life and the world and I had to use my brain to think back where I have visited, touched and lived. So I think this project goes to Problem Solving.
 * 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?**
