=**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. =

> Yes it did! This is because, before this unit I used to think that Columbus was an innocent man that just wanted to find a new place so that he becomes famous. I also thought that all he did was find America, and then go back and live a normal life, while the Europeans wanted to come to America so that there is more space so they came there. Then I realized that Columbus actually discovered America than did many things that harassed the Native Americans. > I think that the most argumentive statement for my perspective would be the fact that when Columbus came to America he harassed many of the Natives there, not only sexually but physically too. > ===== Yes because then we can understand if our Heroes are actually real heroes or just people who harm people, and help one side so he can become famous for the good things that he has done. ===== > > ===== I think that I'm probably going to be using it for most of my big projects, and assignments on people so that I can show different perspectives so that I can argue on many things, not only the one thing that he has done. =====
 * 1) =** Did your views of Columbus change during our study of Columbus? Why or Why not? **=
 * 1) =** What is the most persuasive argument that supports your current perspective about Columbus? **=
 * 1) =** Do you think it's important to learn different perspectives about people who we think are heroes? Why or Why not? **=
 * 1) = How do you think you will use the idea of perspective as you continue learning history this year and in high school? =

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**. > One thing that I found really surprising, is the fact that I had a lot of trouble making it eye catching! > The one thing I did excellent, was get the project done on time! >  I think I should spend a little more tie on the writing neatness, and how clear the legends are! > I think I used both Problem Solving, and Numbers, and Data. This is because, we had to start from scratch with a map, and we had 6 days to finish a timeline with the map, and some other details. I chose numbers, and data because, there was one point of time where I had to find the approximate distance (in Km's) of two cities!Thats all Mr. T!!!! > == == > ==Assignment 2, Unit 2 == >> When Mr.T was explaining this assignment he said that some of the pictures might not be clear, and might need to ask him about the pictures. I thought "how hard can it be", but when I started the first thing I had a problem with was matching the pictures on the placard with the descriptions in the "History Alive!" text book. >> One thing I did really well in this assignment was communicate with my partner. I did this by letting her share her ideas while still getting my thoughts in too! >> One thing that I would need to improve on would be to ask for help when I need to. An example would be when I couldn't understand the pictures I didn't talk to Mr.T! >> I think this assignment was given to the class to give a better understanding of the places the Indians lived in America. I think I developed the competency of communication during this activity. (What I call communication can also be called Teamwork.) >
