Vandal or Victim

Your assignment is to imagine that you are either a VANDAL or a VICTIM. You are to write a first person narrative of a minimum of 250 words that is historically plausible. You will post your narrative on your MWH blog. Feel free to add an image. Be creative! You are writing historical fiction.

If you choose VANDAL:

• Describe where in Western Europe you are attacking and why.
• Explain where your tribe of barbarians come from (You don't have to be a vandal - you could be a Visigoth, Hun, Saxon, etc...)
• Describe some of your actions during the attack (weapons used, items taken...)
• Keep your post historically plausible. (For example you could not have attacked with AK-47s or automatic weapons because they had not been invented yet.)

If you choose VICTIM:

• Describe where you are living and what you were doing at the time of the attack.
• Describe who attacked you - which group of barbarians.
• Keep your post historically plausible. (For example you could not have been playing Xbox when the Huns came through your village because it had not been invented yet.)

We will vote on the best VANDAL and best VICTIM story, and there will be a prize for the winners! Happy writing! I can't wait to read your stories! ☺
