When we started this unit all I knew about Columbus was that he "discovered" America. I didn't know the rest of the story. My view of Columbus now, compared to when we started this unit, is that he is a sadistic murderer and should not be celebrated or remembered in a good light. I see Columbus this way because of all of the lives he took away from Native Americans and the horrible acts that him and his men performed. > I see Columbus as a Criminal because he killed so many natives. He was welcomed by them with open arms and when he saw that they had gold he took advantage of them. He mistreated them and put them all into slavery, what him and his men did were unspeakable and should have never have happened. > Yes I think it is very important to learn different perspectives about heroes because you never really know everything about someone until you learn other perspectives. > I think I will use different perspectives while doing projects from now on because you never know everything until you learn what other people think of it and how that thing made them feel.

=__Assignment 2__= While doing this project what I found interesting was how most of the other people in the class have been to so many more countries than I have. Even though it seems to me like I have been to a lot of places, I have only been traveling for 2 and a half years while a lot of people from our class have moved around a lot and visited various different places. One think that I think I did well in this project was the timeline. I think that I did well in the timeline because even though it took a while for me to finish I chose personal facts that were really important to me and world events that I actually found interesting. One thing that I would improve if I had a second chance to do this project would be ‍‍to manage my time better ‍‍ because I didn't notice how little time we had left and didn't work efficiently so I didn't get to make the timeline and its title as clear and creative as I wanted it to be. I don't think that my project had too much of any of the competencies in my project but the one that I had most of in my project was probably Use of Numbers and Data because we had to use the scale on the map to measure the distance between where we were born to five other places and that is very closely related with numbers and data. Also for the timeline we had to have the years marked out in equal segements and labeled with its year which is also related with numbers and data.
 * 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?**

__‍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**. ‍ One thing that I found surprising during this assignment was hoe hard it actually was. I thought that it would be easy to math the cards up with their places but it was actually quite hard to find the different places that the Native American tribes lived in were. One thing I think I did well in this assignment was teamwork because even though starting off my partner and I had some trouble we were eventually to accuratley find out all of the places of the tribes together. If I were to do another assignment like this again I would look closer at the information we were given because it was quite easy to make a mistake. I think we did this assignment because it helps improve our problem solving skills and use of numbers and data because we had to solve what places matched up with the different cards by using the data on the cards and the maps.
