Discussion #5

1.)

Who: Acadiana People
What: French language
When: Now
Where: Louisiana
Why: Keeping the French heritage and language alive

2.)

Sentence 1 M: She is giving the main idea.
Sentence 2 E: She evaluates another's idea on speaking your native language and your ancestor's.
Sentence 3 A: She analyzes Grace Cho's study.
Sentence 4 L: She links speaking heritage language with relationship with those past ancestors.

The way she constructed thoses sentences were perfect and I would have done the same thing. As a reader, it was easily understood.

3.)

•  Reminds reader of the chronology (time period) covered in this particular treatment of the topic or subject matter.
• Reminds us of Acadians' small requests in life.
• Uses powerful quotes that prove what some people think about their culture.
• Closes with satisfaction that a program has helped bring heritage back into Acadiana.

4.)

Between paragraphs two and three, she uses sort of a sequence of events methods to bridge the two paragraphs together. See, they arrived in Louisiana at the end of paragraph two and then she says "Upon reaching Louisiana" so it's sort of like the "First, Second, Then, Last" tactic we talked about in class.

Between paragraphs 4 and 5, she uses a contrasting to link the paragraphs. She states a sentence about culture still thriving in Louisiana and then in the next paragraph uses the word "However" which is somewhat like a contradiction.

Sentence Revised: Acadians' culture is probably the most important argument for the importance of French immersion in Louisiana today, both now and in the past.
