Vikings! - 3. Everyday life of Viking men, women and children.

This is the third in a series of lessons on Vikings.

This third lesson is a brief exploration of the roles and responsibilities of the Viking men, women and children. The lesson starts with some retrieval practice from the previous lessons, which is a great way to gauge current levels of understanding and encourage class discussions. Each of the daily activities of men, women and children is then described in a visual and easy to understand format. Subsequent questions encourage discussions about the similarities and differences between Viking men and women. At the end, there is a couple of slides on runestones and there is a fun activity on runes that includes translating, deciphering and also a page for the students to create their own rune message. A very visual presentation that can be used alongside other resources easily. This lesson is aimed at a middle ability class. Includes worksheets for activities inside the PowerPoint.

Included:

-1 PowerPoint presentation with 12 slides
-1 PDF worksheet with 3 pages of rune activities
