 * __Assignment 10 Reflection__**
 * 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?__ Yes my views did change, because before when I learned about Columbus in elementary I thought he was a great man who discovered America, and rode in 3 ship. But now Columbus to me is a evil man who started slavery of natives and changed everything in to disaster.
 * 2) __What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?__ Well the most persuasive argument of why he is guilty is that he started slavery and got the idea to start slavery form Africa which continued after he died. The torture and crimes he has done to the Natives (Cutting off hands or bodies feeding the dogs with natives, and sexual slavery of girls) is the most persuasive argument for me.
 * 3) __Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?__ Yes, because they might turn out guilty or innocent, if we have other views we might change our own perspective, because even we might be persuade.
 * 4) __How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?__ Well, that not all guilty people would turn up being guilty, because people have different opinions about them and they might turn out to persuade you that they are not guilty they are innocent.


 * __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.**

Well, something that was interesting and surprising for me was the timeline, because for the personal events I really didn't remember what happened when I was 6 or when I was 5, 4, and so on, and when I asked my parents I was surprised and interested. I also found the world events interesting, because to know when I was in a certain age what was happening in the world.
 * __1. Explain__** __one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?__

I think something that I did well was the timeline and finding information of personal or world events and making it all look organized.
 * __2. Explain__** __one thing you think you did well in this project?__

Maybe improve a little bit on the map, by making it a bit more neater and add more colors to the map.
 * __3. Explain__** __one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?__

I think I used Problem Solving, because if I didn't know something or what happened in a certain year, I tried to figure out by myself, by remembering what I already know or I asked my parents or friends as well.
 * __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?__


 * __‍‍‍‍‍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.**

I thought something that was interesting during this assignment was to figure out the whole puzzle which was what artifacts belonged to different regions. After we had figured it out we were surprised what Native Americans from different regions ate, wore and lived in. I also thought the diary entry was fun to write about.
 * __1. Explain__** __one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment?__

Something that I did well was to write down the diary entries and figuring out the artifact investment. I thought I did well on the entry because I had lots of detail and it was fun to write them. I also thought that I did well on the artifact investment, because most of them I had to do by myself so I thought I was pretty good and most of my choices were correct.
 * __2. Explain__** __one thing you think you did well in this assignment?__

I would like to have a partner with me next time and I would also improve on my handwriting and patience skills.
 * __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?__ I think we did this assignment to work on our competencies more and also to see the conclusions/hypothesis, which artifact fits in which region. I think Problem Solving is the competency; I have developed to figure out the artifact Investment.
