__**Unit 2, Assignment 10**__ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">** 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. **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">** 1.Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not? ** <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Yes, during our study of this Columbus unit my view of him changed. Before studying this unit I always thought Columbus was a very heroic man, and was a risk taker, but this wasn't true. He only sailed for the gold and he wasn't a heroic man. Because of him, the Columbian exchange started and the Native Americans had to suffer a lot, because of Columbus when they weren't at any fault.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">** 2.What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus? ** <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Columbus wasn't a hero at all, in-fact if he was alive today, he would be charged for crimes against humanity. When Columbus 1st landed in the New World, one of his 3 ships were drowning. The Natives were nice people they gave Columbus things he needed and plenty of help, they helped save Columbus' ship, cargo and crew. Columbus was so impressed by how hard working these people were that he saw this as an opportunity to enslave the poor native americans. He was very brutal to them and didn't pay them back the way they should've been.

<span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Yes, I think it's important to learn the different perspectives about people who we think are heroes because it's good to know the other side of the story. And they're different than we expect them to be. Also, because we can know how they haven't impacted the world in a good way, but also a bad way.
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3.Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not? **

<span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><range type="comment" id="558419">I think I will give a second thought to people, and not judge them on their first look. Also, I would take a second look myself on people my teachers teach us about.
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4.How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school? **

Like, I forgot what region it was, but in 1 region people brought alligators home and ate the alligators. Also another thing I found surprising was that the region was close to the ocean, (I forgot what region it was) but people didn't eat so much fish. <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">One thing I did well in this assignment was figuring out what the region was. I really enjoyed doing that part. Like 1st you had to see what kind of clothing the people wore (mainly it was the the yellow colored part, or the green colored part) and then the kind of house they lived in and it had to match up with what clothing they wore and lastly it was the food they ate. My partner and I did a very good job doing that and we always got the region right in the 1st try except for the 1st time. <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">One thing I think I need to and would want to improve on is the journal part. I wish I was more creative with it and I wish I had more fun with it because at the time I only wanted to get all of the 3 feature (Climate, Geography and Animals/Water Source) in the journal entry in 4 sentences. I wish I'd had more fun with it. <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think we did this assignment to know more about the 8 regions, but through a fun way so it would be memorable. I think it helped me develop problem solving because you had to solve the mystery by figuring which placard was what region.
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">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. **
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">1.Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment? **
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2.Explain one thing you think you did well in this assignment? **
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3.Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this? **
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4.Why do you think you did this assignment and how did it help you develop one of the competencies? **

<span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">**__Unit 1, Assignment 2__** <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">One thing while doing this project I found most interesting, and surprising was when doing the timeline part. Like, when I was researching the world events I found out that in 2002 when in the city of Gujrat in India there was this Hindu-Muslim fight and a Muslim mob fire-bombed a train, killing Hindu Activitists, Hindu retaliated, and more than 1,000 people died in bloodshed. Also, when I was doing personal timeline I found out that in 2002 I broke my left finger and couldn't go to school for a very long time. Whenever I look at my left index finger I remember that incident. <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">One thing I think I did well in this project was the map part. For example when labeling the map with "Places I've Lived", "Places I've Visited" and "Places I've Touched" I colored the whole country in with the designated color. And then I put the continents names in Green and the Oceans names in Blue. I also enjoyed drawing the compass rose and coloring it. <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">If I were to do this assignment all over again I think I'd like to improve on my time. The writing was to small, and it was hard for some people to see. Also, I would want it to be more colorful. <span style="color: #85c6e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think I worked on Problem Solving the most during this project. I think Problem Solving because first I was having problems with the compass rose. And then I had problems with the timeline and distributing it into equal increments.
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">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. **
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">1.Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? **

 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> 3.Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? **
 * <span style="color: #c185e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> 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? **
