The Vikings – Researching Multiple Sources

Good research uses many different information resources, in a variety of formats

1. Begin with a group of 5 people, each person in the group will research Vikings answering 1 question on the left using the resources across the top;
2. Discuss and divide the questions amongst your group, you answer your question in the cell of the column below the resource you are researching.
3. Create citations for each resource you searched and in alphabetical order list them in a Bibliography on a new page of this document. See this guide for help.
You may find that some of the information varies from resource to resource and that not all resources will answer your questions with the same level of detail.

The Vikings had poetry and storytelling, they have
influenced us today in many different ways. First
war and weapons, they usually fought with sword,
axes, bows, spears and a long shield, they fought
in small raiding party’s, from 2-10 ships and each
ship contained 30 or so Vikings. This is how they
conquered France and England. In World War Two
we mainly used swords and guns (a stronger
version of bows). Vikings have led the
development of 3 countries, Denmark, Sweden
and Norway. These Denmark and Norway is now a
first world country. Most viking houses were
stone with a slated roof, currently most of our
houses are also stone with a slated roof. The
Vikings also had a effect on Bluetooth. The vikings
conquered different countries and then started to
trade between those counties by ships, we do
that now with cargo.
