'Vikings' Season 1 Episode 1 - Student Question Sheet

This is a question sheet for students watching the History Channel’s ‘Vikings’ Season 1 Episode 1. This episode introduces the social structure in Viking society, the role of the Jarl and the Thing as well as depicting what a Norse village/farm looks like and can also show the gender roles at play too.

This would be apart of a larger unit of work when studying The Vikings in Stage 4. This could also be very engaging to leave for a substitute teacher for when you are away. The episode goes for approximately 45 minutes.
