Unit IV Outline Introduction - The State of Our Lives: Being a Louisiana Neighbor Lesson 1: Louisiana's Major Folk Regions Lesson 2 Geography, Ecology, and Folklife (this page) Lesson 3 Sense of Place Unit IV Resources Unit IV The State of Our Lives: Being a Louisiana Neighbor Lesson 2 Geography, Ecology, and Folklife The long leaf pine needles used to be plentiful in this area, and we [Koasati] never had any problem getting them. It's not at all like today, when all of the land is posted and the best trees have been clearcut by the timber companies, who re-forest with a shorter leafed tree. Today to get the needles you have to drive a really long way to find the trees, and even then you risk snakes by going deep into the woods. If you want to buy your needles, it's very expensive. Loris Langley, Allen Parish Grade Level Curriculum Areas English Language Arts, Social Studies Purpose of Lesson How do geography and ecology influence a region's folklife? Students will investigate this question and consider how an outsider might view their own region in this lesson. The natural world, even in urban settings, influences how we view life, what materials are available for crafts, what occupations we choose, how our homes look. Eighth graders will be able to tackle more sophisticated investigation, analysis, and mapping.

As you cross the road you're into Pointe Noire. Before the road, you're in Robert's Cove. Across the road, you cross Bayou Plaquemine Brulée there, see? And then you're in Pointe Noire. Pierre Daigle, Acadia Parish [Isleños] started naming every lake, every pond, for what they left in the Canary Islands. That's how homesick they were. Irvan Perez, St. Bernard Parish What makes Louisiana special? Why do people around the world know something about Louisiana's traditional culture? What do students know about their region of the state? How would an outsider view your region? What can Louisiana neighbors learn from each other? Louisiana's uniquely rich geography, history, and folklife provide several ways not only to approach the study of the state, but to integrate this study across disciplines. Folklife, geography, ecology, history, economics, literature, and verbal arts are all entwined in defining "regionality"what makes a place special.

Louisiana Department of Education Social Studies Content Standards GEOGRAPHY: Physical and Cultural Systems FOCUS Geography, the study of the spatial aspects of human existence, enables students to find answers to questions about the world around them. A geographically informed person sees, understands, and appreciates the connections among people, places, and environments. Understanding these connections requires an acute awareness of space, which can be identified in terms of location, distance, direction, pattern, shape, and arrangement. With a strong grasp of geography, students will be prepared to understand issues and solve problems in the contemporary world. The standards and benchmarks contained in this strand should be applied throughout the social studies curriculum. STANDARD BENCHMARKS K-4 In Grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes: A. The World in Spatial Terms G-1A-E1 identifying and describing the characteristics and uses of geographic representations, such as various types of maps, globes, graphs, diagrams, photographs, and satellite-produced images; G-1A-E2 locating and interpreting geographic features and places on maps and globes;
