The following slide shows
are available. They are connected to the novels, The Pearl by
John Steinbeck and The Big Wave by Pearl Buck. |
Novelist John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts collaborated
in 1940 to write the Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Reaserch,
a travelogue of their six-week voyage along the Baja California peninsula
and a serious investigation of the adjacent Sea of Cortez (also known as
the Gulf of California.) |
We went on an expedition in our ESL 3 classes and investigated
the life processes of many sea creatures while studying the novel,
The Pearl. |
The Big Wave
alludes to earthquakes, volcanoes, and
tsunamis. We researched these natural forces in our ESL 2 class. |
