Pre-viewing exercise 1

T. “They rolled all over the world like a blast changing the development of European civilization by means of trade, conquests and colonization”. Peaceful farmers and tradesmen turned into ruthless pirates; wild and ignorant people having primitive tools and no knowledge of Mathematics who built amazing ships, created most beautiful artworks and surrounded themselves with kinglike luxury…” These were the Vikings, one of the most mysterious civilizations in the world history. Let’s talk more about them today.

1. Who were the Vikings?

2. Would it be right to call all Scandinavians the Vikings?

3. How can you characterize them judging by their deeds and reasons?

Pre-viewing exercise 2

T. I’m going to show you several scenes from the film about the Vikings. Before watching the first one you are to give prediction answers to the following questions:

1. What religion did the Vikings profess? What god did they worship?

2. What was the greatest honour and wish of a Viking?

3. Why couldn’t they sail on foggy days?

4. Why were they afraid to sail too far off the course?

5. What was England like at that time?

6. What tactics of raids did the Vikings usually use?

Post-viewing exercise “Auction”

T.: Archeologists have found a few Vikings’ belongings which could help you to find out more about their life. These findings are all being sold by auction now. To get them you should say as much as you can about the Vikings. The winners will get the most valuable “findings”.

Exercise “Speaking Stones”

T.:I see you know quite a lot of historical facts about the Vikings but it would be also interesting to learn something about the customs of their home life. I hope these “findings” will give you much food for thought and lead you to some important conclusions.

Viewing (scene “Viking Justice”)

T.: Good for you. Your conclusions are really interesting and important. We’ve found out quite a lot about the life of the Vikings but haven’t yet spoken of their customs. I suggest we watch a scene about one of them. It’s called “Odin’s Test for Unfaithful Wives”.

Problem-solving based on generalization

T.: Historians have been arguing about the Vikings phenomenon. Why could they become such a powerful force? Opinions differ. Many of the scientists explain it by the Vikings’ craving for glory and wealth. Do you agree to this opinion or, perhaps, you have a different explanation?
