Scopes Trial of 1925 

Today's Standard  US.38 Describe the Scopes Trial of 1925, including the major figures, the two sides of the controversy, its outcome, and its legacy. (C, P, H, TN)

Today's Objectives  Students will understand the two sides of the Scopes Trial and will be able to describe the two sides Students will relate the Scopes Trial to today's culture

But first, a video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVD4TjxnJ0M

Fundamentalists vs. Modernists Fundamentalism – Christian movement grounded in the literal interpretation of the bible; opposed to the "sins of modern life" - so the changing culture of the 1920's did not appeal to them; rejected Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, especially in regards to people evolving from Apes (Genesis)  Modernists – believed that society required change; looked more to science for explanations than religion; the social changes of the 1920's appealed to them – they were seeking a different life after WW1

John Scopes  Read the short article about John Scopes – when you are done, answer the following questions on your paper: What was the Butler Act? Why did John Scopes wish to be a part of the "Monkey Trial"? Can you think of an issue today that reminds you of the Scopes Trial? (an issue that is heavily debated and controversial)

The two sides of the case Clarence Darrow – most famous trial lawyer of the day – defended Scopes William Jennings Bryan – former Presidential nominee – devout fundamentalist – prosecutor of Scopes  Trial opened July 10,1925 – became a national sensation overnight – lasted 8 days  Darrow relentlessly questioned Bryan about his faith 

The Court Case  Let's read Q = Darrow A = Brya https://history.hanover.edu/courses/excerpts/111scopes.html  

Let's Talk about it What is your opinion on this specific scene from the court case?  Do you think Darrow's questions were fair? Why/why not? 

Conclusion of the Scopes Trial Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 (equivalent of $1,204.00 today) Butler Act remained in effect until 1967
