Folklore is a collection of tales and bits of wisdom that teach children how to behave and think. It includes legends,songs, art, tales, myths, and proverbs, People pass on folklore from one generation to the next.Folklore helps keep history alive. For example, legends are folktales that are based ontrue stories. The plain truth about history is not always exciting. To keep listeners interested, a storyteller invents details.①The tale becomes so interesting that people retell it many times. Then it becomes a legend. One American legend is about Davy Crockett. Davy Crockett lived in the woods on the frontier, or the region where people explored and lived on new land. He became a leader, and he fought in a war with Mexico. People exaggerated the facts when they told stories about the brave things he had done. Davy Crockett began to stand for the spirit of the frontie匸Children enjoyed the tales. They also learned about frontier life through stories about Davy Crockett②Tall tales are folktales (hat mix the truth with fiction, or events that did no( reallyhappen. People sometimes tell tall tales to fool people. People tell many tall tales aboutthe American West. An example of a tall tale is the story about Paul Bunyan, the giantlumberjack, or woodcutter. The tale says that Bunyan r s clothes were so large that hisshirt buttons were wagon wheels. Tales about Bunyan take place at his lumber camp.The tales are fun to hear. They also show what life was like in a lumber camp.Myths are folktales that describe the creation of the world.(3)They describe how thefirst human beings came into the world. Myths focus on gods or heavenly beings・Thegods may be human or animal in form.④The first people to tell myths thought that thestories were true-and so did their listeners.Myths may teach us about the beliefs andvalues of a group of peopleFairy tales also may tell us something about a culture. The teller and the dience both know that these types of folktales are not true. Examples of fairy talesinclude n Cinderella/H Jack and the Beanstalk,and n The Three Little Pigs Fairy tales often begin with the words Once upon a time•…The same tale may exist in different forms in more than one culture.People who study folklore to learn more about a culture are called folklorists Folklorists study more than just folktales. They also study folk art, folk music, poetry, and proverbs. A proverb is a wise saying, such as "The early bird gets the worm.M This saying means that people who are early are more likely to get what you want than people who are late.

Grades one through eight shared the same classroom.A one-room schoolhouse was usually built of wood and painted white or red.To get to school, children walked, rode horses, or rode in a buggy. When it was time for school to begin, the teacher rang a bell, Then the children went inside.Sometimes they stopped in a small room first to wash their hands. They poured water from a jug, or pitcher, into a bowl called a basin・They hung their coats on hooks in a cloakroom. Then they went to their desks. They stood to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The smallest children sat in the smallest desks at the front of the room. These children were the closest ones to the teachefs desk. The tallest children sat in the back. A potbelly stove stood in the middle of the room. The stove heated the room on cold days, The children who sat near the stove may have felt too warm. The children who sat farthest away may have felt cold. The stove burned fuel such as wood or coakThe children studied arithmetic, or math; geography: science; history; reading art;and penmanship, or neat writing. Teachers wrote lessons on a blackboard at the front of the room. Students did math problems or practiced writing on the blackboard. In some schools, students had their own small blackboards, called slates, to write on One teacher had to teach all grade levels, so teachers often taught the children one at a time.The teacher expected the children to behave well and punished those who did not. The teacher may have used a leather strap, a wooden cane, or a wooden paddle for this task. Sometimes a child who had behaved badly would have to cut a switch from a tree. The teacher would then hit the child with the switch as punishment. Recess was at noon. The children played and ate lunch. Students often carried their lunches to school in metal pails. In very cold weather, the teacher sometimes cooked hot food on the stove. Lessons resumed in the afternoon. When school ended for the day, the children went home. They rarely had homework. Their parents required them to help with chores in the house or on the farm. Only a few children owned books.
