How is life in Northern Europe different from other areas of the world? Historians journey through the various regions of Northern Europe discovering what type of climate, animals, and lifestyles exist in that section of the world. They use a directory of map exercises along with investigative research to gain understanding of what makes Northern Europe so unique. A final written assignment wraps up the unit as historians demonstrate their knowledge about what life is like in a faraway land.
