 * 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, because when i learned about Columbus before i was in America and they didn't tell us about any of the bad things Columbus did to Africa.
 * 2) He had the idea of bringing slaves to America which was torture for the Africans because they were brought in very bad conditions and were treated badly.
 * 3) Yes, because a lot of people just teach about the good sides because they like the "hero" and they won't teach their kids about the bad things that that so called "hero" did.
 * 4) I would probably think of what the other side of the story was. Like for example I didn't know about the bad things Columbus did before i came here because a lot of teachers don't like to include the terror that he had made. So now I will probably wonder, if a teacher says that someone is a hero, if he really was.

=__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**. 1. Sometimes we didn't get it right the first time and then we really didn't know what went wrong. 2. i think that we managed time wisely and that our guesses were MOSTLY accurate 3. maybe look closer at the artifacts. 4. I think that this showed us how to investigate stuff.
 * 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?

= = = = =__Assignment 1__= 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. I thought that the time line would be the easy-est but because i didn't have any thin markers at home because there not here yet, so my time line turned out pretty messy. 2.I think that i did well on the map, its all clear at least to me and i think that the coloring is very neat, but on the labeling for the keep i think that it would also look better if i had used a thin marker. 3. I think that i would want to be a little neater because of the answer that i put above (number 1) 4. I think that the problem solving was good because i found a thin red pen for my time line and it made it a bit more clearer.
 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?
