Test Review - Practice Questions
Some students emailed for advice on how to make the study guide index cards. Here is my advice - using your textbook reading/class notes/source book and review book, you can compile 5-6 facts about each topic. Focus on the who/what/where/when/outcomes/impact.
So let's say you're making a card about THE SCOPES TRIAL:
- Known as the "monkey trial" and occurred in 1925
- Clarence Darrow defended Scopes passionately. ACLU also got involved, wanted to get rid of dreaded "Butler Act" that banned evolution.
- Darrow had a heart attack after the trial
- Jennings Bryan was creationist/against evolution and was the prosecutor
- Whole world was watching - many headlines - HL Mencken famous journalist - attacked Bryan a lot
- Outcome: Scopes fined $100 for teaching evolution (Darwinism) in small school in Tennessee. Then the verdict was overthrown on a technicality of the case.
Impact: Many say this trial was a debate between fundamentalists/traditionalist/rural/Christians and new modernists/secular urban folk.
