Louisiana History Review
First things first, how do historians learn about history?
Historians Learn about History From Two Types of Sources:
Primary Sources (1st Person:)
Written by people who lived during that time
Secondary Sources (2nd Person):Written after an event has
happened
Challenge: How do historians learn about history?
History of the People of Louisiana
1st Native Americans/American Indians
2nd the French from FranceAcadians: French Catholics from Canada
3rd the Spanish from Spain 4th United States of America
The FIRST PEOPLE to inhabit LA:American Indians/Native Americans
How did they live: They were HUNTERS AND GATHERERS: PEOPLE WHO HUNTED, FISHED, AND ATE
PLANTS FROM THE LAND (We still do this today!)Challenge: Who were the first people to inhabit LA? How did they live?
The SECOND PEOPLE to Inhabit LA:French from France and the Acadians: French
speaking Catholics from Canada
In 1755, Acadians, French Speaking Catholics were forced
to leave Canada because the Canadians didn’t like them.
They settled (or moved to) LA.
In 1682 the French came from France and traveled to Louisiana.
Why? They wanted to build a
trading post because New Orleans sits on the Mississippi River
which flows into the Gulf
Challenge: Why was New Orleans built by the French?What were the French speaking Catholics called who came from Canada and settled in LA?
Economics: Hey, Al! What are we going to
learn today?
We will learn about supply and demand and how it affects our economy.
Review Economics Word of the Day:
Scarce/Scarcity
Shortness of supply; not enough
When resources are scarce,
prices increase or go up
CHALLENGE: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE COST OF GOODS WHEN RESOURCES ARE SCARCE?
Economics Word of the Day:
Supply and Demand: It affects everything we do and it’s a cycle
SUPPLY: The amount of a good or service
available DEMAND: the number
of people willing to pay the price a
producer is asking
12
Supply and Demand
13
Supply and Demand
How Supply and Demand Work: Low Demand
CHALLENGE: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE COST OF GOODS WHEN FEW CONSUMERS HAVE A DEMAND FOR IT?
WHEN FEW CONSUMERS HAVE A DEMAND FOR A GOOD, PRICES ARE LOWERED; THEY DECREASE
WHY? PRODUCERS LOWER PRICES TO GET RID OF THE GOOD
WHEN PRICES ARE LOWERED MORE PEOPLE BUY A GOOD OR SERVICE
WHY? IT IS CHEAP
How Supply and Demand Work:High Demand
CHALLENGE: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE COST OF GOODS WHEN MANY CONSUMERS DEMAND THEM?
WHEN MANY CONSUMERS HAVE A DEMAND FOR A GOOD, PRICES INCREASE OR GO UP
WHY? PRODUCERS SEE MANY PEOPLE DEMAND IT AND SO THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY AND INCREASE THE PRICE
How Supply and Demand Work:Abundance (a lot of something)
CHALLENGE: WHAT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN IF THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF A GOOD OR SERVICE?
IF THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF A GOOD OR SERVICE PRICES DECREASE BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT!
WHY? PRODUCERS WANT TO GET RID OF THE EXTRA GOOD AND SERVICE
How Supply and Demand Work:Competition
CHALLENGE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PRODUCERS COMPETE FOR CONSUMER’S MONEY?
ECONOMIC COMPETITION: WHEN PRODUCERS ARE TRYING TO WIN CONSUMERS
WHY?WHEN PRODUCERS SEE A DEMAND FOR A GOOD OR SERVICE, THEY BEGIN COMPETING FOR THE CONSUMER’S MONEY.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PRODUCERS COMPETE FOR CONSUMERS?THEY OPEN SHOPS THAT PROVIDE THE SAME GOOD OR SERVICE AT LOWER PRICES.

Review: Civics
Civics: the study of government and how it runsWhy? Our government makes laws that tell us how to behave. If we break the law, there are consequences
There are 3 Branches of Government
Branch 1: Legislative Branch* Made up of Congress(House of Representatives & the Senate)* MAKES LAWS
Branch 2: Executive Branch*Made up of the President*CARRIES OUT LAWS*MAKES SURE PEOPLE OBEY THE LAWS
Branch 3: Judicial*Made up of 9 Supreme Court Judges*EXPLAINS AND DECIDES IF LAWS ARE FAIR*PUNISHES PEOPLE WHO BREAK THE LAW
How People in the Government are Chosen
They are ELECTED: *People in the government are elected by
U.S. citizens like us
*Citizens VOTE for who they want to be in the government
*Citizens VOTE during an ELECTION
People with the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF VOTES WINS
What Services the U.S. Government and State Governments Provide:
Role of the Government
Repair roads and highways for safe travel:Provide driver’s licenses
Provide schools for people to learn in: Provide resources for schools
How the Government pays for these things:By collecting TAXES from citizens, like us!
What are Rights, Laws, and Rules
Rights: a freedom that is
protected
Laws: something that tells you how to
behave and are enforced by government
Rule: tells you what is or is not allowed
Challenge: How are laws different from rules?
Laws are different from rules because the government makes laws, but people and groups can’t.

Let’s Play A Law or Not a Law?

Sing the national anthem everyday.
Speak in complete sentences.
Obey the speed limit.
Do not yell at others.
Sit in SPARK.
