What Have We Already Learned?
What is dialogue? How can you quickly spot dialogue in a story? Recall the dialogue that took place between Toli, Bjorn, and their family members in the previous read-aloud “Saying Goodbye”. In the last story, which of the ships in the poster did Toli and Bjorn board to sail to Iceland? What are some things we know the Vikings might have taken with them from Scandinavia to export for trade with others? What types of challenges did the Vikings likely worry about before their journeys at sea?

Making Predictions about the Read-Aloud
Will Toli and Bjorn’s journey be easy or difficult? Why? What kind of activities will take place aboard the cargo ship while they are out at sea?

Discussing the Read-Aloud
Were your predictions correct about whether Toli and Bjorn’s journey was easy or difficult and about the kinds of activities that took place aboard the cargo ship? Why or why not? Describe Bjorn and Toli’s journey aboard the ship bound for Iceland. Why do Bjorn and Toli ask Njord to give them strong winds? The Vikings were known as expert sailors. Do the sailors in this story sound like experts? Why or why not? What does the geography of Iceland look like from the ship? What else do Bjorn and Toli see when they first spot the land of Iceland? How do you think they feel as they are mingling with the crowds who came to greet the newcomers? How is Bjorn and Toli’s new home in Iceland similar to their old one in Norway? Why do Bjorn and Toli travel to Iceland? What enables Bjonr and Toli to start a new life in Iceland? On a map, locate the homeland Bjorn and Toli left behind; locate their new home.

Checking for Understanding
After hearing today’s read-aloud and comprehension questions and answers, do you have any remaining questions?

Extensions: Sayings and Phrases “Ruled the Roost”
An idiom is an expression whose meaning goes beyond the literal meaning of its individual words. Idioms have been passed down orally or quoted in literature and other printed text. Idioms often use figurative language, meaning that what is stated is not literally taking place. You heard about one sailor whose knowledge of the ocean was invaluable and who “ruled the roost.” Have you ever heard anyone else say that they “rule the roost”? What a is a roost? A roost is a wooden bar or perch where a rooster and his hens can rest together. Because the rooster is bigger and stronger than the hens, he reigns over the roost. This idiom, “rule the roost,” refers to a person who takes charge and bosses others around. Who ruled the roost on the knarr? The sailor who had journeyed to Iceland several times before ruled the roost. Have ever had an experience where the phrase “rule the roost” applies?

Extensions: Writing Prompt: Life in Iceland
Imagine you are Bjorn living in Iceland. Imagine what Bjorn would tell his new family in Iceland about his life back home in Norway. How would he describe his home, his family members, and his daily life? Write a half to a full page about what you imagine Bjorn would share with his family in Iceland about his former life in Norway. You may write either from the first-person point of view, pretending to be Bjorn, or upi can write from the third-person point of view. Be sure to use descriptive language in your writing, and if possible, any domain- related vocabulary learned thus far. Draw an illustration to accompany your paragraph. Be prepared to share your writing with a partner or with the class.
