Enrichment activity: THE VIKINGS!

Due to the high amount of absent students (and the fact that we're all thinking about spring break anyway) I am doing an enrichment activity. This information will be tested, so don't skip it!


Today's focus is the Vikings and their legends, invasions, and culture.

If you're gone, please watch the video over Spring Break. As an alternative assignment, please answer three of the following questions:

1. Describe the Viking longship. Why was it important?
2. How was the geography of Europe's rivers important to the Viking conquests?
3. Who was Leif Eriksson? What did he do?
4. Harald Hardrada became king of the Vikings in 1047. Why was this important?

The fourth question may be answered for extra credit.

BARBARIANS: VIKINGS (45 min)

Stained Glass Project

Stained Glass Activity
Morris / Donnelly World History




During the Middle Ages, few books existed.  Most people could not read or write.  For many, the Church was the center of teaching and religious education.  The stained glass windows served as textbooks for religion, history, and other stories of everyday life.  Imagine you are a stained glass window craftsman.  Tell a story of your life, your country, your school year, the seasons, or other activity that is important to you.  You are also free to tell a Biblical story, including any story from any scripture you use in your own life.  You have two options of shapes. For the template, look at the window as if it were a clock.  Start your story at the position that would be one o’clock and end the story at the position that would be eleven o’clock.  Use the center for other drawings that add to your story or that tell the overall theme of your story. You
may use another stained glass window shape, with permission.

RUBRIC: (20 points total)
- Telling a visual story - 5 points
- Creativity - 5 points
- Color and Ink (black "lead" lines) - 5 points
- Neatness - 5 points

Note: the printed copy of the rubric says the project is 40 points. That was changed in class and the assignment is worth 20 points.

DUE DATE: Weds. March 19.

You will receive some time in class to do this project, but you may need to work on it at home.
Some modern windows:

If you need a template: 
This is similar, but more complicated than the one given out in class. You can google other templates or ask me for a copy.

(This is for all students, not just honors!)
  • Descriptive Writing: using the five senses to describe what you are writing!
  • Select five components from your coat of arms.
  • One or two sentences per item: explain what they are and why you chose them. Use as many details as possible (this is what I'm looking for in this assignment).
Example: For my helmet, I chose a bright red, large apple with a green leaf. I picked an apple because rather than a soldier, I am a teacher and the apple is a symbol of education and in Medieval heraldry, the apple is a symbol of peace.
