Description:
This is Bancroft Middle School's annual Civilizations of the World event. All seventh graders create a research project comprised of a research paper with accompanying visual aid, and present their projects to their parents/the public over the course of the evening. Projects have ranged from Japanese weaponry to the ever popular (?!) Black Plague, to Aztec pyramids, to Viking ships.

Part of the event features performances and demonstrations from local experts/performers/enthusiasts. We will be a featured demonstrator for this year's event. We will provide a display table or three again from 6:00-7:30 and a weapons/armor demonstration from 7:00-7:15. The school will provide the tables and chairs for the display area as well as rope off an area for the demonstration.

We'll call our presentation "The Viking Art of War" and focus on our individual roles in Norse culture and our own gear. And provide a little combat.
