History of the Barbarians
Learn about the everyday life and religion of the nomadic peoples called barbarians and read about famous barbarians from history. Then imagine that you have been hired to create a theme restaurant called "Barbarians." With a small group of classmates, draw up a plan for the restaurant covering the staff's costuming, the menu, and the décor. Present your plan to the class and take a vote on whether or not the students would want to visit your establishment.
