TARGET: The Pearl

[Shugrue <shugrue@javanet.com>]

My eighth grade English teachers are looking for some teaching ideas to
accompany the reading of Steinbeck's The Pearl. Does anyone have some
ideas ?
 We thought of preparing the students before they read it by doing
research on the setting but I can find very little about La Paz in the
early 1920s and even less to help explain to eighth graders the extreme
cultural biases. Thanks for any ideas.
