Why or why not?// <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I didn’t really think much of Columbus before this unit. I just thought of him as the guy who discovered the New World (not America, because <range type="comment" id="494783">Amerigo Vespucci discovered that). Now, I sort of just think of him as the guy who discovered the New World yet at the same time was the chain reaction of some unfortunate events, but I guess it isn’t **ALL** entirely Columbus’ fault.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"> 2. //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus? // <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">During our study of Columbus, I was quite surprised to learn some of the excruciating details we were exposed to, such as Columbus feeding Native American babies to his dogs, or how he used young girls as sexual slaves. Yes, these things were horrible but for all we know, without Columbus we probably would have still thought the world was flat, or that there was no such thing as America. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m not sure what to think of Columbus.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"> 3. //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or why not? // <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">I think it is important to learn different perspectives about people who we look up to as heroes because there are always two sides to a story, so what may seem gallant for a group of people might have been thought of as cruel from another group of people. Which doesn’t mean one of the perspectives is right or wrong, but it could help you make an informed decision.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"> 4. //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school? // <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">I think I will use the idea of perspective while I continue to learn more history to re-think who our idols in history are, and find out if they really are as remarkable and courageous as our textbooks put them down to be. After all, there always are two sides to every story.

Assignment 2
1. //**Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?//<range type="comment" id="983647">One thing I found interesting is how people always refer to the Indians or Native Americans as one group, although they have such different cultures and ways of living. I also thought learning and comparing the different theories of how the Indians came to America was pretty interesting.

2. //**Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?//I think one thing I did pretty well was work with my partner efficiently, because we got along really well and also worked pretty fast. Another thing I think I did well was that I was pretty creative on my journal writing.

3. //**Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?//I think one thing I could have really improved on was my handwriting because I was sort of rushing to get all the different places done, so I ended up writing quite messy, so messy, that ven I couldn't really read it.

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 would fit well under more than one competency, but the one I'm going to explain is communication. I think this project would fit well under communication because before writing down the answer that we thought was right, we had to talk to our partner, and if we didn't agree on something, we had to use our communication skills to debate on which answer is right.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Assignment 2
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. //**Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?// While I working was working on this project, one of the many things I found interesting was how Europeans agreed on one coin in 1998, while I thought it happened long time before I was born.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. //**Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?// ne thing I thought I did well in this project would probably be the index card where I wrote down the places I’ve touched, visited and lived in, including all the distances. I think this because the index card was a lot neater compared to the map or the timeline.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. **//Explain//** //one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?// f I were to do this project again I would improve on the timeline, and try to make it neater and more colorful. Same goes for the map.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">4<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; 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?// During this project we had to gather a lot of information/data and use it to make charts and timelines, which is why I think this project would go well under Use of Numbers and Data.
