= Day 1 Objectives: = 1. Define Evolution in their own words 2. Evaluate social, cultural, and political events of the early 1900s
 * // Students will be Able to //** :

Opener: The videos purpose was to show us how the theory of evolution worked and happened somewhat. What evidence do we have to prove evolution?





Evolution occurs when environmental factors cause natural selection and then genetic drift to occur. The concept feels very strange that we over a long period of time evolved from a single celled organisms into complex multicellular organisms. Have we seen this process happen in other species?

. I added words that I left out that I felt were essential and important parts of the theory of evolution.



Yes traditionalists often held Fundamentalist Christian views and interpreted the Bible literally so they would be in conflict with some scientific views.
 * Do you think that scientific research and discovery might be in conflict with some values and ideals of the 1920's? Why or why not? Provide evidence from today's activities to support your response.**

1. Identify parallels between this topic and conflicts/events that are going on today.SB 1070 2. Make an argument for or against the theory of Evolution supporting your argument.Yes schools should teach evolution because it is the currently accepted scientific theory.

= Day 2 Objectives: = 1. Explain the controversy of teaching evolution in schools 2. Identify the different views about teaching evolution in schools 3. Evaluate the impact of the Scopes trial in America
 * // Students will be Able to //** :




 * Answer the following questions on the clip from the Simpson episode entitled, "//Monkey Suit//," in your notebook after watching the video:**

1. What was the message of this cartoon clip?The message of this cartoon clip is to show who people jump on with the majority view. 2. Do you think something like this could actually happen? Yes, in Texas evolution can't be taught maybe more states could fellow this trend and in many religious countries their is probably opposition to Evolution or Evolution isn't taught all together.
