This lesson allows students to work out for themselves what the Monkey Trial was all about. It can be done in a 50 or 60 minute lesson and will fit nicely into any study of intolerance in 1920’s America.
It is worth noting that we usually start with a health warning re: sensitivity to peoples varying religious views.
