Christopher Columbus

This week we learned some good things about Columbus and some bad things.  We got to choose if we thought he was a hero or a villain.  What do you think?

Was Columbus a hero or a villain?

Delaney- He was mostly bad because he stole land.

Addy- He was a villain because he stole stuff from the people on the new land.  I also don’t like that he brought germs to the new people.  It’s difficult to choose because he was so smart but he was still a villain.

Ava- He was a villain because he stole the land, spices, and jewels for the queen.  He also stole the soft stuff from the people on the new land. 

Logan- He was bad because he stole people from the new land. 

Kailey- He was bad because he stole people’s land and gave it to the queen.

Annabelle- He was bad because even his men didn’t like him and wanted to throw him overboard. 

Aubrey- He was good because he left stuff for the new people.

Hunter- I think he is a hero because he wanted to bring spices to the queen to make her food good.

Toron- I think he was good because he discovered new land.

Connor- He was bad because the queen got new land that was stolen.

Luke- He was a villain because he stole stuff from the people.

Colten- He was good because he found new land for all of his people.

Ellie- He was bad because he stole all of the gold and spices.  He stole because he wanted the spices for his food to taste good and he wanted nice clothes.

Haiden- I think he was a villain because he made people go on the boat back with him to Spain.

Cooper- He is a “lemon” because stole the gold and spices and silk.
