History Co-op Writing Assignments - Vikings

A writing assignment was given most weeks of the Viking History Co-op. The children presented their work the week following the assignment.

2.    Write instructions for how to make a cloak.
3.    Write about a day in the Viking village as if you are a:
         a.    Thrall

Then tell which person you would prefer to be and why.
4.    Write a Viking rowing song
