Discussion #5

1.) who: Cajun people/culture
    what: preservation of the French language
    when: present day
    where: louisiana
    why: Cajuns want to preserve their culture and language, but the language is fighting extinction because of "Amercanization".

2.) sentence one: M she is giving her main idea.
sentence two & three: E supporting evidence #1.
sentence four & five: E supporting evidence #2.
sentence six, seven, & eight: E supporting evidence #3.
sentence nine: A analysis of evidence.
I like the way that Guidry set up her paragraph,but I think it would have been better if she anaylized every piece of evidence separately instead of one sentence.

3.) Then. She give a strong quote from an Acadian musician on cajun culture .
Finally. Guidry states the ways that Cajuns are trying to preserve their culture.
Her conclusion is another strong quote from Mary Tutwiler on what makes Cajuns unique.

4.) Guidry focused on the challenges the Cajuns faced when they were forced to relocate and Americanize.
 To connect paragraphs 4 and 5 she stated how the Cajuns had much respect and pride for their heritage, then went on to talk about how the culture in today's society was thriving.

The passion that Acadian people have for their culture is one of the most important arguments of French immersion in Louisiana now and in the past.
