= __Assignment 10__ =


 * 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 perspectives you continue learning history this year and in high school?

1. Yes my view of Columbus changed this unit because I didn't really know much about him, so I just thought he was a random, lucky explorer and I thought he was a hero because of his courage. Now that I know more, I think Columbus was a villain

2. The most persuasive argument of what I think of Columbus must be that he killed, enslaved and raped native Americans.

3. It is very important to learn different perspectives because when you know all the sides of the case you can make up your own opinion.

4. I will use the ideas of perspectives when I continue learning history by trying to figure out the different perspectives, and ask my friends because they might also have another perspective than me. I will also tell people who don't know how important perspectives are, about perspectives. = __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) **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. I think it is very surprising that the native Americans lived so different, they can live close, but still have very different clothes and food. I think this assignment was interesting because it was fun to learn about different native American regions.

2. I think that Ja Youg and me worked good together, and e worked good and quick.

3. If we have to do this assignment again, I dont think we would have to improve anything, because, as I wrote, Ja Young and I worked good.

4. I think we did this assignment to both learn about native Americans, but also to develop problem solving because we were given facts about areas, and then had to match that area on a real map. = = = __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 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. I think it was surprising that it was so hard to choose world events. There were so many you had to read, and then choose. It was hard to choose because you do not know which one is better. That was surprising because I thought there were fewer to choose between.

2. I think I did the index-card part well, because it was neat and complete.

3. If I were to do another project like this, I think I would write in pen instead of pencil, because it makes it a lot clearer.

4. I think the Use of Numbers and Data is the one who best describes this project, because you had to make a timeline where the gaps between each year had to be equal.
