TOPIC: WHO WERE THE VIKINGS AND WHAT WERE THEIR PLANS AND INITIATIVES DURING THE PERIOD OF ABOUT THE 900s TO THE 1200s?  BE SPECIFIC AND TELL THE STORY OF THE VIKINGS DURING THIS TIME.

Suggested organization:

I. Introduce the topic.

II. In the body explain who the Vikings were and their goals, circa 900s to 1200s. This will be 2-3 paragraphsperhaps more, if needed, to accurately convey information about the Vikings.

III. Provide a conclusion paragraph.

YOUR PAPER SHOULD BE TWO PAGES, AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL ASPECTS OF MLA STYLE. USE THE TEXTBOOK, THE SOURCES IN THIS WEEKS LESSON, AS WELL AS, OPTIONALLY, THE GOOGLE SCHOLAR WEB SITE, TO SEARCH FOR ONE OUTSIDE SOURCE. IF YOU DO USE AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, THEN YOU MUST HAVE AN EXACT MLA WORKS CITED PAGE, WITH ALL SOURCES USED.

YOU SHOULD, OF COURSE, USE PROPER IN-TEXT MLA STYLE CITATIONS TO OUR TEXTBOOK. To cite our textbook, use appropriate MLA format (Cole and Symes 125).

Above are the instructions my professor provided. I have attached a file of the textbook for your own reference. You will probably find more information doing your own research. However, maybe incorporate two or three direct quotes from the textbook using in-text MLA citations the way my professor stated above. Feel free to use whatever outside sources you wish. Just incorporate the information you find and need. Ive also linked a youtube video about the vikings my professor provided that may be helpful.
