Central Idea : There are various perspectives when different cultures encounter one another.
Pedro's Journal Final Reflection
What was Christopher Columbus’s perspective during his encounter with the native people?
Christopher Columbus's perspective was probably that he thought that he was better than all of the natives. Also that he could control all of the natives and do what he tells them to do. Also he thinks that the queen and king will be proud of him for bringing back all of the servants.
What was Pedro’s perspective during his encounter with the native people?
Pedro thought it was wrong. I would agree with him because the captain was taking the natives away from their family. He is right that it was wrong for Christopher to take the natives with him. He was also scared for the natives because the natives were even more scared when there was a storm that the ships ran into.
What was the native people’s perspective during their encounter with the explorers?
The native’s perspective was probably like “what the heck.” They probably felt this way because these random people come to their home and take some of their family away from them. Also they only want their gold and treasures. I would be scared if I was a native when Christiopher Colombus and his crew came to my house and took away my family and wanted all of my video games. (that was just an example).
NASA"Vidyo" Chat
First, I was very grateful that we had this opportunity to do this Vidyo. I enjoyed learning about the water on mars. I knew that there was ice on mars before he talked to us. I found it cool when he explained to us about the hamburgers and how long it would take us take us to go to mars and what we would need to take on that journey.
I also enjoyed it when he talked about what happens on the space station. I have tried freeze dried food. I would like to go to the space station and enjoy many days up in space. I would also like to ride in the ride that keeps your legs in shape and not all skinny. Some reasons I would not want to go would be loss of oxygen. I might start to feel claustrophobic.
