I sent an inquiry for more information on the 'viking impression' and
received this( Ismet) :
Thanks so much for the contact information.
My high school class meets on Mondays from 8.30 a.m. until noon. We
usually use 1 1/2 hour of that time in English and the rest in history.
If your schedule would allow you to attend that morning, we could
arrange our schedule to fit yours. Any length presentation within a two
hour time frame is suitable for us--30 minutes or the full two hours--it
depends on what you want to share.
Our class focuses on the Medieval period. The students have already
studied the role the Barbarians played in the fall of the Roman Empire,
and will spend this week concentrating on the Norsemen after that time.
Any information you choose to share is greatly appreciated. We are
studying European expansion, Norse mytholoogy, everyday life and customs
and the Edda.
Our co-op meets at the First United Methodist Church near 10th and Main.
We enter through the Youth and Family Center which faces 10th st.
Parking is free. From that entrance, take the elevator on the right to
the second floor. Head left out of the elevators through a lounge area
through the double doors on the right. From their you cross over Main
Street. Take a right at the next double doors and go to the second
classroom. I know it sounds confusing, but there are plenty of people
around who could escort you to the proper room if you get lost.
If Monday morning does not work, I would also be willing to set another
meeting time. It is more difficult to get all of my students in
attendance then, as schedules will certainly conflict. I would certainly
love to have the kids meet some reenactors, as we have learned so much
from them in the past. As a semester project, the will be researching
and doing their own impression. Who knows, they may fill the SCA ranks soon.
Thanks so much for your willingness to make history come alive for these
teenagers.
