New Orleans - The City of Carnival

Hi guys,

today we started a new lesson about Louisiana and New Orleans in particular. You had to read maps and analyse flags to see that "cross-cultural traditions" in Louisiana were very important for the state and for N.O.

Here are some of the things you said (not in your notebooks):

New Orleans is a cross-cultural city with French, Spanish, and African heritage. France and Spain settled in North America and Black slaves were imported from Mali and Senegal mainly.

Today this melting-pot has special traditions. They are the Creole people.

Vocab: an eerie atmosphere
