Revitalization of the Wampanoag language
Essay Instructions
The documentary film We Still Live Here recounts the amazing story of the revitalization of the Wampanoag language and explains how that revitalization has played a crucial role in preserving Wampanoag cultural identity for future generations. For this week’s DB assignment, I would like you to consider the following questions: What role does language revitalization play in the preservation of a culture? Do you think language revitalization projects are worthwhile? Why or why not?
To answer this set of questions, you should do some online research. It might be helpful to look into revitalization efforts undertaken by tribes such as the Ojibwe and Cherokee. You might also find it helpful to review this National Geographic essay (Links to an external site.) and this essay from The Week. (Links to an external site.) Your response must be 4-5 double-spaced pages in length, include at least three outside sources (the video counts as a source), and follow the structural guidelines detailed below. You may not use first person.
Structure:
Your essay should include an introduction that introduces the topic and ends with a clearly worded, 1-2 sentence thesis statement. Each supporting paragraph (there should be at least 3) should begin with a strong topic sentence and should incorporate evidence, including direct quotations from the short stories as needed to support your argument. Direct quotations should be incorporated using the quotation sandwich method and proper MLA in-text citations. The post should also contain a strong conclusion. The final page of the document should consist of a Works Cited (Links to an external site.) page. Tips for formatting electronic sources can be found here (Links to an external site.).
