Scopes Trial Simulation
The trial we began yesterday focuses on a recreation of the Scopes Trial. The Scopes Trial took place in 1925 and occurred because a man wanted to teach evolution in the classroom, but it was not allowed in the state. This trial went to the Supreme Court and brought into question the place of religion in education. As a juror in this trial, it will be my job to vote on the outcome of the trial based on the evidence and information provided.

This is a very helpful post. I like how you included what you are doing in the simulation and also what the Scopes Trial was about. It could have been helpful to include more detail on the Scopes Trial.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Leila. This is very helpful. Thanks for the background info! Do you believe this remains a controversial topic for schools today?
