KY SHAKES - KENTUCKY HISTORY- ACTOR 1 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE Terms in this set (155) Actor 2: Good Morning! I'm Madison! Actor 1: and I'm Robert, And we are from Kentucky Shakespeare Actor 2: Kentucky Shakespeare is one of the longest running free Shakespeare festivals in the country. Actor 1: And during the school year, we tour as the largest in-school touring arts provider in the Commonwealth. Actor 2: Now normally, we would be coming to your school to talk to you about this guy from England... Actor 1: He lived 460 years ago. Actor 2: And he wrote a lot of poems and plays. Actor 1: His works are profound and amazing. Actor 2: And he is still pretty famous today. Actor 1: And that would be? That's right—William Shakespeare! Actor 2: But today we are going to be talking about something much closer to home. Actor 1: We are. Today our show is all about Kentucky. ACTOR 2: Welcome to Kentucky History: Chronicles of the Commonwealth! ACTOR 1: You may wonder: what does Shakespeare have to do with Kentucky? ACTOR 2: Founded in 1960, Kentucky Shakespeare is the official Shakespeare festival of the commonwealth, so Kentucky is really important to us. ACTOR 1: But we want to hear from you. What do you think of when you think of Kentucky? ACTOR 2: The exact origin of the name Kentucky is uncertain, but we do know it came from the Native Americans. ACTOR 1: That's right. Some believe it came from the phrase "Ken tah teh,' meaning "land of tomorrow" ACTOR 2: Or "ken-ta-ke" meaning "meadowland." ACTOR 1: And Kentucky is famous for many things. ACTOR 2: Abraham Lincoln, Muhammad Ali, The Kentucky Derby... ACTOR 1: And over the course of our show, we're going to be looking at a lot of the people, places and events that make Kentucky what it is today. ACTOR 2: And to do that, we're going to dig through a lot of history. ACTOR 1: And digging through history means looking at a lot of sources, both primary and secondary. ACTOR 2: For instance, my name is Madison and I like to Paint. ACTOR 1: We call that a primary source or a primary account. We heard it come straight from Madison. ACTOR 2: A primary source can be something someone writes or says. It can come from a letter, a speech, an interview, a social media post—you name it. The main thing is that it's coming directly from the person who said it. ACTOR 1: And we were all present when Madison said they liked Painting. We were all witnesses, so our experience is also a primary account. ACTOR 2: Which brings us to another aspect of looking at history ACTOR 1: What if someone, years from now, wants to talk about what's happening right here in this room today, but they weren't here to see if for themselves— how would they do it? What do you think? How could they find out what happened? ACTOR 2: You're right. They'd take all the information available—what people said, what they wrote down, maybe someone here took a photograph, maybe there's some record of it on the website—they'd look at all of that and put it all together to piece together the story. ACTOR 1: Which would be what we call a secondary source or secondary account. Stories, reports, plays, movies, books—any analysis or discussion from people who didn't experience the topic or event themselves. ACTOR 2: Which is what we want to do when we study history. We need to look at everything. That's why we call this show part of our "Living History" series. History is alive. We're constantly discovering and learning new information that can change how we see things. ACTOR 1: And when we understand the past, it helps us know both where we are and where we're going. ACTOR 2 So where are we going? ACTOR 1: How about back to the beginning? Let's take a trip through...THE MAJOR TIME PERIODS OF KENTUCKY HISTORY! ACTOR 2 That's a great place to start. ACTOR 1: We're here in Kentucky. The year is 9,500 BC—almost 12,000 years ago. And no one is here. ACTOR 2 They're here. (gestures to audience) There are a lot of them. ACTOR 1: It's 9,500 BC in Kentucky and no one is here. The land is covered in ice and let me tell you, it is cold. ACTOR 2 Kentucky's climate actually resembles modern day Canada's climate during this time.3 It's the Paleo-Indian period—the first time people come to Kentucky. Now, this is a long time ago. So how do we know all this? ACTOR 1: We have some secondary sources. ACTOR 2 Archaeological records consisting of fossils, bones, and tools. ACTOR 1: And we have a record of an exploration that came through Kentucky as early as 1739. 4 ACTOR 2 You want to take a little historical detour? ACTOR 1: Let's do it. ACTOR 2 So now we're in the year 1739 and a French-Canadian explorer— ACTOR 1: Charles LeMoyne, zee Baron de Longueuil— ACTOR 2 —makes a startling discovery. ACTOR 1: I am on my way to Louisiana with my ozzer explorer type guys. ACTOR 2: Monsieur "Lawn-gu"... ACTOR 1: "Lawn-geyl" ACTOR 2 "Long-gayle?" ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE "Lawn-geyl" ACTOR 2 This isn't that long of a bit. ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE Mais oui. S'il vous plaît. ACTOR 2 Monsieur Long... Sir. Where are we? ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE We are in zee North of Kentucky. Boone County, you will call it one day. ACTOR 2 And you discovered this place? ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE Moi? No, no, no. Zee Native Americans and zee Indigenous Peoples, zay came here long before zay bring me. I just tell everyone. ACTOR 2 I'm zeeing a lot of what looks like tools for digging and hunting.5 Why, zis is very old. ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE Oui, zee hunter-gatherers of the—excusé moi—zee Paleo- Indian period had many tools to find zee food in arctic temperatures. ACTOR 2 Would you say zay had a Paleo Diet? ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE Shush. Look you, zay had spears and long harpoon-like lances. ACTOR 2 And what did zey hunt? ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE Oh, probably zee little birds and...sacré bleu! WHAT IS ZHAT!? ACTOR 2 Zay appear to be zee bones of mastodons and mammoths zat once roamed zee earth. Zay are relatives of zee modern day elephant. Seems zay hunted some pretty big game. ACTOR 1: LeMOYNE I shall call zhis place Big Bone Lick, because zee bones, zay are so big. Hauhee-hau! Hau-hau! ACTOR 2 OK. Takes ACTOR 1's beret. Let's go back. ACTOR 1 Alright. 9,500 BC. ACTOR 2 For the first 11,000 or 12,000 years or so, Kentucky is home to Native Americans. In fact, this place we now call Kentucky sits primarily on Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw and Osage land. ACTOR 1 Now 11,000 years is a long time ago. And those early groups of huntergatherers make their way into Kentucky travelling in small camps and communities consisting of 20-50 people.6 And it stays like that all the way up until... ACTOR 2 The Archaic Period, spanning from around 8000 BC to somewhere around 1000 BC. ACTOR 1 That's a span of 7,000 years. ACTOR 2 It's much warmer in Kentucky now and as temperatures rise, the population grows. Native Americans find places to settle in regions with lots of plant life and animals. ACTOR 1 You said the Native Americans settle in the area. We're going to talk a lot about different groups of settlers as we go. That refers to people moving to an area or region to make it their home rather than just passing though. ACTOR 2 And these Native American settlers in the Archaic Period develop new weapons and tools, like the atlatl... ACTOR 1 Atlatl! ACTOR 2 ...which is a device used to throw a spear or dart at long distances. And Native Americans begin growing squash for the first time, which they use as a source of food. And since the outer shell of squash is so hard and solid, they can also use it as a bowl or container. It marks the beginning of farming. 9 We're racing through time, Robert—what's next? ACTOR 1 That would be the Woodland Period. That's going to take us from 1000 BC to 1000 AD, so a span of about 2,000 years. This is a period of great change in Kentucky. Native Americans begin farming maize or corn. The bow and arrow makes its way to the area around this time, along with another major invention: pottery. ACTOR 2 does a game show model bit with a bowl from trunk. Pottery is a big deal. It's used for cooking, storing and serving food.
