Create a folk song that details the experiences of people who moved west. 1. Choose a tune you know well for the melody. You might use “Sweet Betsy from Pike” or another folk song you know, such as “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.” 2. Write four stanzas of four lines each. Each stanza should be about a different group of settlers. 3. Within the four lines of each stanza, include: • at least one motive for this group to move to the West • at least one hardship this group faced • at least one legacy this group left behind
