 * Graffiti Wall** Flashback to 1775. You are living in the American colonies and tensions have been building with the British for over ten years. As a **Patriot** you are SICK of King George telling you what to do and how to live your life – he doesn’t even know what life in America is like! One of your friends from the Sons of Liberty mentioned the idea of creating flyers to express your grievances against Britain. This might be just the thing you need to get your frustrations out in the open. As a **Loyalist**, you are very nervous about what is happening and you would like a peaceful end to these problems. You still think that King George III and the British Parliament will help solve these problems in a peaceful way and non-violent way. You and your Loyalist friends have decided to start creating flyers to try to persuade people to see that all these acts and laws that have been passed were actually for the benefit of the colonists.
 * Your task:** You and your partner will be given one event below. You will decide who will take the Patriot perspective and who will take the Loyalist perspective. Then create a flyer from your perspective to go on the graffiti wall that verbalizes why you are upset at or support Britain.
 * Possible Event/Law Choices:**

· Catchy slogan (e.g: “We want to STAMP OUT your Stamp Act!” or "The Tea Act = Cheaper Tea!" or "British Soldiers Kill Supporters!" or "Patriot Mobs are Evil Blobs") · Original graphics or images in COLOR · Text that explains why the colonists (Loyalists or Patriots) are upset or support the event/law. = = =Europe Map 3= media type="custom" key="12119012" = = =Europe Map 2= media type="custom" key="12118744" =Europe Map 1= =media type="custom" key="12116850"= = = =Map 3= media type="custom" key="11644652"

 * __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? **
 * Yes because first i used to think that he was a complete villain but now after the study i realized that he was not all bad because without him America would not be so successful in trade today and the slave trade wasn't his fault.
 * The slave trade was not Columbus's idea as it had started way before him.
 * Yes because each person has a different view about the work they are doing and it is important to take their view into consideration.
 * We will use it in the way that we will have to record the history in according to the perspective of the person as history is always written from the view of the victor.

= __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**. > > Answer 1- The thing that i found most interesting was the fact that just one small artifact left from any group of people can clearly identify their way of life: their culture, their food, their religion, their clothing and their basic lifestyle. > > Answer 2- The one thing that I did well in this project was working with my partner. he was easy to work with and gave me a chance on things when I could not understand what to do. He explained to me the possibilities in all the cases and worked hard even though he had an injury on the hand he worked with. > > Answer 3- I would improve the section in which I had to identify the tribe because I would get so frustrated each time that I would give up and randomly guess the tribes identity and which region it belonged to. > > Answer 4- I believed that the competency that i developed in this assignment was teamwork because my partner and i examined all the possible circumstances and then we would come up with the identity that matched the anonymous tribe the most. = = = = = __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 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?

 * 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?

Answer 1. During this project the event i found most interesting was when i searched for world events and discovered things which i had never known of. Some events were discoveries and some deaths but since everything was new to me i was fascinated by it all.

Answer 2. I think that I made the timeline very well. I understood the concepts very well and was able to make it knowledgeable for people to read while easy enough for them to understand and i was able to make it pretty at the same time.

Answer 3. I think I need to improve my timing because it took me a lot of time to complete some of the parts in the project which should have not taken me a lot of time. Another thing I need to work on is the neatness of my work and the variety of colour.

Answer 4. I think that out of all competencies i used use of technology because I used the computers to help me in researching world events for my timeline even though I had plenty of books to help me.
