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?

=__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**. = = = = =__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) Yes my view of Columbus did change after this unit and the trial, because when i was first taught about Columbus and his achievements I was told that he was a great man and an excellent explorer. But after learning new things about Columbus I learned that he was the seed of the African Slave trade and he mass murdered thousands of natives.
 * 2) My persuasive argument about Columbus is that he killed the native people and forced them into working for him as slaves, and he was the start of the Columbian exchange and the start of the famous African slave trade.
 * 3) Yes, I think its important because we should learn about historical figures and events in many perspectives so we understand historical figures and events in many different ways.
 * 4) I think in high school we will learn more about important historical figures and learn about these people in many ways so we understand that person in different ways and to learn both sides of the story. For example like learning about Hitler in the perspective of a Polish personor the complete opposite a German citizen.
 * 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) Something I found really interesting is the fact that they made clothes out of tree bark and i wondered if it would itch or give you allergies and what they did if you got allergies from the tree bark, because i get rashes when i touch tree bark.
 * 2) I think i did the Geography part the most well in this assignment because i used the world map to see if there were any mountains, forest or rivers (to find water sources) in the region.
 * 3) I would improve my diary/ first person writing section in the investigation because, I every time i started writing with " I woke up this morning...," and I would include more details in it.
 * 4) Like Mr. Tabbara told us this was problem solving, I think the competency i developed doing thins investigation activity was problem solving and team work. Problem Solving because we used the evidence (placards) to figure out which region they were used in, and team work because i worked with my partner to figure out the geography and animals that lived in the region
 * 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) Something I found very interesting is the fact that Google Inc. was founded the year I was born, and other very interesting worldwide events that took place when i was alive.
 * 2) I think I did the Timeline part of this project well, because i had more that 10 personal events and 10 worldwide events and i think it was well organized. I also think I made a good note-card where we listed the countries we visited, touched, and lived
 * 3) I would improve my Map because i made some of the dots larger that the other, and I didn't leave enough space for the unit (km) in the distance section. Other than that I think overall I did a pretty good job on this project
 * 4) I think I used the Use of Numbers and Data competency because we used the years we lived through to get the worldwide events and personal events on the project
