The Vikings are coming!

As you know, the vikings were an ancient people from Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) who travelled over Europe when nobody dares to move from his land or little village.

They were courageus and rude warriors, but intrepid explorers and brave sailors too.

They sailed from coast to coast, sometimes robbering rich monasteries, but many times knowing differents places, trading with a lot of villages, setting up settlements all over Europe, and even beyond...

See this map: over the year 1000, one viking captain, Leif Eriksson, traveled with his men from Groenland to Terranova in North America!! Being by this way the first european that saw America (almost 500 years before Christopher Columbus).

LA CONSTITUCIÓN ESPAÑOLA

España es un país formado por muchos pueblos y muchas gentes. En 1.978 todos decidieron escribir cómo tenemos que comportarnos entre nosotros y con las gentes de otros países. Con todo lo que escribieron hicieron un libro que todos los españoles tenemos que conocer. Ese libro es la Constitución. En ella, se reflejan los derechos y los deberes de los ciudadanos españoles, así como nuestras libertades, límites territoriales, bandera, etc. Seguro que en clase, habéis tratado el tema y ahora repasaremos algunos de sus aspectos de una forma amena. Por ello, te proponemos las siguientes actividades:

1. Aprende más sobre La Carta Magna con el juego de la Constitución.
   
2. Utiliza tu imaginación y apunta un derecho o un deber que, bajo tu criterio, debería incluirse en una Constitución ficticia. Ahí va mi propuesta:

Todo el mundo tiene derecho a leer un buen libro, así como, el deber de recomendarlo a sus amigos/as.
