Where We Are in Place and Time

“People’s ideas and actions can cause a shift in thinking and change the course of history”

Complete the reflection questions and rubrics below. When you have completed this, write what you
think your biggest strength is and what you need to keep working on.

My biggest strength is putting myself in other people’s shoes because when others are not feeling good, I love
to cheer them up. If I have problems, I always put myself in other people and hear their side of the story.

An area or skill I need to keep working on is researching more sites because I usually just go on 1-2 sites while
researching and I should increase the amount of websites I research on. I would also want to know more about
the time periods like the roman’s etc.
