Ancient Academy

Farmers, weekend warriors, lovers, poets. Vikings were not the two-dimensional double-headed-axe-swinging, club-wielding marauders portrayed in comics, Okay, maybe on weekends. But they had full lives, industry, community, music, and art. Explore the rich Norse mythology as we read the Poetic Edda. Create banners and shields with Nordic runes. Discover who worked with and against the “invaders.” Become a Norseman and live the Viking way through an interactive role-playing game. Challenge Rick Riordan’s and the Marvel visions of Viking mythology, religion, and social structure. Let’s Go Viking! (3rd - 8th graders)
