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.
