Run!!!! The Vikings are here....

For today, I'd like you to click here. You will use this site as a starting point for some additional Viking Research. At the end of our class period today, you will be required to turn in:
1) One complete thought (in sentence form) that explains an additional fact you learned through today's research. For example: "Vikings were known for their round shields, which they used as a defensive and offensive weapon.  They had a center metal "cup" which protected the hand, and at least one metal bar across the back to use for a hand-hold."

2) A cite for that source:
Viking Age Arms and Armor Viking Shields (name of page)
 http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/manufacturing/text/viking_shields.htm (web address)

You may write this by hand, or type it onto a Word document.
