> = = =__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) My views changed on Columbus during this unit because I did not know about all those horrible things that happened when Columbus discovered America. Before I used to think that he was a brave man that should be celebrated in America for a reason but now after this unit I know that Columbus and his men discovering America was both a good and a bad thing.
 * 2) The most persuasive argument I heard was that Columbus should have been in controll of his men and he should have taken action to prevent the terrible things that happened which makes me believe that Columbus is guilty.
 * 3) I think it is important to hear both sides of the story because you should be able to make your own decicions. If you only hear one part of the story you will not make your own views about the person, you will only believe the information you have heard.
 * 4) When I learn about history I will always ask myself if there are different views of the story.
 * 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 was surprised of how many places I have been 2. I think I drew the compass rose pretty well and think I followed the instrucions pretty well 3. I think I would improve my handwriting for the timeline 4. Communication because I am talking about information about myself through writing

 * 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 found it interesting that the native americans had everything working out so well with food, shelter and clothing and how they had to adapt to their environment. 2. I think I did well on placing of the artifacts in the HA! workbook because I got most of it done and I worked pretty fluently with it. 3. I think I might have improved on the handwriting and details in the journals because I rushed through some of them and I don't think I did my best work on it. 4. I think I did this assignment because I should know some background information on America and how it started. I think it helped me in teamwork because we had to work with partners when we labeled the artifacts in our HA! workbook.
