WHAT STUDENTS LEARN
All our videos teach through the power of story to make the history relevant and memorable. In this video-lesson, students learn about the Scopes Monkey Trial and the clashing cultures of the 1920s. Students learn how the changing times, new innovations, and a jazz culture caused cultural rifts that were best displayed in a courtroom in Tennessee during the Scopes Trial. Evolution and science against the church and fundamentalism, jazz vs Genesis, and rural vs urban all were present in the carnival atmosphere of the trial that represented so much of the changing times of the 1920s.
✅ The lessons cover state-standards while making sure the content is still interesting.
1920s Cultural Conflict Case Studies Activity
After the video, notes, and quiz, students analyze two case studies of the 1920s and make connections to cultural conflicts in America today! Focusing on the Palmer Raids against suspected Communists and Immigrant groups and digging deeper into the Scopes trial, students answer questions then look for commonalities to today’s America.
