Fieldwork Basics Overview
Fieldwork Basics Overview provides an overview of the issues involved with students conducting fieldwork including cultural sensitivity, ethics, steps and tools, preparing for fieldwork, modeling and practicing, improving listening skills, conducting fieldwork, identifying folk traditions and locating folk artists, processing fieldwork, student products, and provide a fieldwork checklist, forms, and worksheets in addition to resources to develop questions. It is also useful for folklife projects outside of the K-12 classroom.
Educator's Guide to Delta Pieces: Northeast Louisiana Folklife
The Educator's Guide for Delta Pieces contains 12 units. Each Guide unit relates to a unit within the Delta Pieces: Folklife in Northeast Louisiana essays. Together these essays offer an intensive look at this fascinating region of of 12 northeast Louisiana parishes running south down the Mississippi River from the Arkansas state line though Concordia Parish, Louisiana. The Educator's Guide units are correlated to the Common Core State Standards, particularly those in English Language Arts and are for grades 3-8. Links are provided to the award-winning Louisiana Voices Educator's Guide.
Creole State Exhibit Education Guide
The Creole State: An Exhibition of Louisiana Folklife is a virtual exhibit featuring the Creole State Collection which has more than 200 artifacts in seven sections. The education guide provides an overview of each of the seven exhibition sections and a list of the artifacts included in each section. The guide also contains exhibition-based interactive activities as well as URLs and QR codes that provide the viewer with additional information and extension activities. The activities are appropriate for students in grades 3 through 12, families and independent learners.
Louisiana's Many Food Traditions Unit Activity
Louisiana is blessed with a variety of cultures and traditions, including a fabulous food legacy. We repackaged our Louisiana Voices Foodways Unit to make it easy for teachers to use and teachers around the state tested it. It includes background material, activities, worksheets, and evaluation tools.
Hurricane Resources and Opportunities for K-12 Educators
This unit is an effort by Louisiana Voices to provide 5-12th grade teachers with materials that can assist them and their students in coping with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. The unit involves teaching students to interview each other, community members, and family members about the experiences of this year's hurricanes and their aftermath. The activities are designed to allow teachers great flexibility and easy to use. Art lesson plans and other resources are also provided.

Lesson 3: Folk Genres
UNIT I : Defining Terms
When you
research and document the culture of your communities, you are
undertaking fieldwork. You might do this through interviews,
photography, audio or video recording, sketching, or research. There
are so many educational advantages to conducting fieldwork with your
students that you won't want to pass up this opportunity! Fieldwork
builds students' communication skills and enhances their analytical
skills. It also sparks creativity in students. Additional
discussions are provided in the Louisiana Folklife Program's Key Folklife Definitions.
Lesson 1: What is Folklife
Students are introduced to the term folklife through a student essay, discussion, and activities. They learn that folklife is transmitted through everyday activities. They learn about variants, motifs, and cultural processes (folk, popular, elite), and to connect folklife to everyday experience.

Lesson 3: The Family: Louisiana Family Folklore
By exploring family folklore through naming traditions, family pictures, and family treasures, students see traditional culture in action in familiar, everyday settings. They will learn things they didn't know about their families, and they will see themselves and family members as important tradition bearers.
Lesson 3: The Family: Louisiana Family Folklore
Activity
1 - Naming Traditions: Naming is one of many
family traditions to study. Students get to know each other
better and learn more about their family and community history.
After the students have researched their own and their parents'
names, they notice names in literature, history, and other
studies and how to know more about these names. By starting with
themselves, students see that all families have naming
traditions but these traditions differ and change over time.

culutral perspectives to help students consider the many elements
that contribute to "sense of place."
Lesson 1: Louisiana's Major Folk Regions

Lesson 2: Geography, Ecology, and
Folklife
Students investigate how geography and ecology
influence a region's folklife 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 tackle more sophisticated investigation,
analysis, and mapping.

Lesson 3: Sense of Place
After studying the major folk
regions of Louisiana and the relationship between folklife,
geography, and ecology, students give deeper thought to what makes
their own community unique, what their "sense of place" is. Not
only are our communities and neighborhoods unique, so are our
perspectives of where we live. In addition to geographic mapping
of their communities, students develop conceptual maps of their
sense of place.

found in Swapping Stories, as well as the concepts of
context, motifs, and variants.

themselves use movement and dance and the many ways that people
move and dance in different contexts. Close observation and
imitation of folk movement and dance improves decoding skills and

VII: Material
Culture--The Stuff of Life
[L'Unité 7 est

This unit introduces the concept of material culture
and provides ways of looking at artifacts, art, teaching, and
learning. Students examine the aesthetics of everyday life such as
vernacular architecture, gardens and yards, needlework, crafts,
hairstyles, foodways, body ornamentation, clothing, and costumes.
Students consider questions of use and beauty and the importance of
context to artifacts.
Lesson 1: Reading Artifacts
Lesson 1: Reading
Artifacts
Students begin the study of material
culture by looking carefully at vernacular, or
everyday, objects from several perspectives, considering the context, or story, of
objects, and categorizing objects. They improve their fieldwork
research skills by looking at artifacts as cultural outsiders would.
Learning to "read culture," students hone decoding skills that
improve reading and writing.

things that we learn traditionally, by observation and imitation,
in everyday life from "indigenous teachers," those we learn from
outside the classroom: family members, neighbors, friends,
religious leaders, mentors, care providers.
