This lesson combines a hands-on activity (making a model of a Viking ship), internet skills (web searches), and cooperative learning/discussions to study the ancient Vikings.

Using the diary of a girl who lived through the events of the disintegration of Yugoslavia at the end of the Cold War, this lesson explores the historical, political, and human aspects of this difficult time. This would be excellent for World History, Geography, and World Literature classes.

I will be using this later in the year with my planetary science kit.
