= __Unit 2, Assignment 10- Reflection__ = My view of Columbus did change during the unit, because I didn't know that he allowed his men to rape 9-10 year old girls, and cut off natives arms and legs. At first I didn't know anything about him, I just thought he discovered America accidentally, and he didn't harm anyone or anything.
 * 1.** Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not?

My perspective on Columbus is that he ruined many lives when he sailed to the New World. He could have treated the Native Americans better, but he didn't; instead he used their friendliness to his advantage. It was wrong of him to do that, when he could have been good friends with them. He could have stopped his men from raping girls, and cutting off legs, but he didn't. So I would say that the most persuasive argument that supports my perspective is what he didn't do, and what he could have stopped from happening if he wasn't overcome with greed to find gold.
 * 2.** What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus?

I think that its very important to learn different perspectives about heroes, because even heroes have flaws, and Columbus definitely had some flaws. And heroes also might have different reasons for doing what they did, so if we learn about them from different perspectives, in the end you'll learn more about the hero and why they did whatever they did.
 * 3.** Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not?

I'll use it to help learn history from different view points, and it will help us to learn stuff better.
 * 4.** How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school?

= __Unit 2, Assignment 2__ = 1. **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this assignment? One thing that I found interesting while doing this assignment was looking at all the artifacts and guessing where they came from. It was really interesting and fun because most of the time teachers just give you the information, but this time we got to guess, and then see if we were correct.

2. **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this assignment? I think that I did the problem solving part (where we had to guess using the artifacts) well, because me and my partner guessed the one's that we did correctly. (But we didn't do it all by ourselves. Mr. Tabbara gave us //some// hints.)

3. **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another assignment like this? One thing that I think I need to improve is staying on task, and focusing, because sometimes, I got distracted by friends, and I might have digressed a little bit.

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 help develop the skills for Problem Solving. We had to use some clues, and artifacts, to guess which region it was from, and it was basically solving the problem, like in the video that Mr. Tabbara showed us, from CSI. = = = __Unit 1, Assignment 2__ = 1. **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? I thought that finding out what world events that happened in my life was really interesting. But I think that finding out the personal events that happened with my mom, was the most interesting because it felt like we were sort of visiting the past again, together.

2. **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project? I think that I did the timeline really well, because I was careful to make each year of my life into equal increments. And I liked how I did the title for my map.

3. **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? I think maybe I could write more neatly on the legend and the table where I wrote the places I've touched, visited, and lived, because my handwriting was sort of ugly.

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? I think I worked on Communication, because I'm communicating about places I've been and stuff, and whatever happened in my life.
