The Scopes Monkey Trial - Video Script 43 years after his death, Darwin was in the headlines all across America. They called it the Scopes Monkey Trial. Dateline: Dayton, Tennessee, JULY 11, 1925. In a moment, the story. Young John Scopes was charged with teaching evolution in his public school classroom. Perennial presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan rose from his sickbed to rally the prosecution. Defending Scopes was the equally famous Clarence Darrow. On the day of the trial, a full house of avid spectators from all over the nation filed in to hear the debate. The issue was no longer the innocence or guilt of Scopes but rather the final death struggle between two basic human philosophies: Fundamentalism versus Modernism. In the end, Scopes was found guilty and fined $100. The verdict was overturned on a technicality, but the law stayed on the books in Tennessee until 1967.

Teacher Darrow convicted RAFT Writing Activity Role: Student of John Scopes Audience: School Principal Format: Teacher Evaluation letter Topic: Should John Scopes be rehired to teach? In your letter: 1. The writer will identify the purpose of the evaluation letter. 2. The writer will express at least two facts from each of the graphic organizer bubbles: Evolution, Creationism, Court Case. 3. Minimum of 8 complete sentences. 4. The writer will utilize language from at least 3 of the persuading sentence frames. Dear School Principal, I am writing you as a concerned student at your school. Our teacher John Scopes, was recently indicted and convicted of violating the Butler Act. Though this is a serious charge, I feel that you should reinstate Mr. Scopes as a teacher at our school. I have several reasons for taking this position. First, Mr. Scopes took an important issue and attempted to teach us the opposing views of evolution and creationism. Therefore, I make the point that he allowed his students to study and consider the differing opinions. He allowed us to evaluate all the information and form our own conclusions. Another reason is that education should be a process where students like me learn to become independent thinkers. Mr. Scopes is dedicated to the development of our critical thinking skills. In the spirit of civic responsibility, I urge you to rehire Mr. Scopes as a teacher at our school. Future students will benefit from his teaching ability.
