The Norse people lived in northern Europe between 700 and 1100 CE, and they had many myths about gods and goddesses living in a sky-world called Asgard. In Stories from Asgard: Norse Myths, students are introduced to some of these classic myths, including the story of how Thor received his mighty hammer. Trickery, battles, and shape-shifting will keep students' attention in these engaging stories. Students can also use these stories to analyze plot as well as to make, revise, and confirm predictions to better understand the text. The book and lesson are also available for levels S and V.
