The goals of this teacher's guidebook and videotape are designed to incorporate Acadian (Cajun) history into the 4th grade social studies curriculum and the 4th and 5th grade Louisiana 30-minute daily French programs and French immersion programs. Another goal is to create an awareness, appreciation, and understanding of Acadian history in Louisiana. For students, these materials will encourage the development of an appreciation of Acadian culture and history, teach them about their role in it, and provide an understanding of why some of Louisiana speaks French. The binders and accompanying videotape provide a comprehensive historical and cultural overview of Acadian history in Louisiana from the early 17th century to the present. The binders are filled with worksheets, illustrations, and assorted materials suitable for reproduction. (KFT)
