I'm looking for a good video on it that explains how the French & Indian War and conquest of the British, led to the Accadians being forced from their homes. The video needs to be 5 minutes or less. I have been googling for 30 minutes and cannot find one that is short/interesting enough to hold the attention of a 10 year old, but also informative.

IF you have one please post it!!! TIA

YouTube is much easier than teaching, huh?

You ever teach kids before? Let me give you a tip, teach it multiple ways!

- Verbal description
- Slideshow with notes
- Short video about it
- Primary source reading
- If possible some sort of reenactment

I'm looking for a video for part of it...

found a decent one btw if anyone is interested, it repeats itself so really it's only ~ 2 mins LINK

Not great narrating, but you're desperate.

The Acadians should have attacked the Brits instead of leaving, imo.

Then everyone would be putting tomatoes in their jambalaya like it's supposed to be.

Do any of you people still speak French? If so, is it Quebecois?

It was called the Grand Dérangement

This one is 12 minutes but you may be able to pair it down.

Find a maw maw, with a super thick accent to come and give the kids a speech about it.

Maw maws from all races always know about their family history.

Watched some standup comic from Quebec yesterday. Unintelligible at times.

Basically, the only people who speak French fluently are are elderly. Young people know some curse words, but that is about it.

Spelling it correctly would probably help

Different search terms may give better results:
* Acadian Diaspora
* War of Spanish Succession
* Mi?kmaq

I doubt you'll find a short video. I learned about it by reading large amounts of text. I did find this:

My great-grandma used to curse us out in French when I was a kid.

I asked my mom once, what did maw maw say? Mom said “don’t worry about it”. Lol
