Recognizing Perspectives
Identify and describe the way in which perspectives influence how people interpret and respond to different situations, events, issues, or phenomena.
I chose my Christopher Columbus assignment for this category because it fit the description of recognizing perspectives. This assignment was done during my 2nd period APWH class. We had to put different people on trial to say that what they were doing was wrong. My character in the trail was "Columbus' Men" and they were accusing us of the many deaths of the Taino Indians who were killed during this time. I say that this assignment fits in this category because we got to see the different perspectives of the people who were involved in this horrific event. I would say that our group did a good job of defending our side in the case.
