Presentation transcript:

The Pearl WebQuest

STEP ONE The setting (time and place) of The Pearl, by John Steinbeck, takes place in La Paz, Mexico on the Baja Peninsula in the early 1900s. Your task (alone, in a pair or group of 3) is to research various aspects that relate to the book. Do not just copy and paste from websites!

STEP 2 Fill the poster with: images with captions You are to display your findings in an interesting and informative way that can be displayed in the classroom (posters). Fill the poster with: images with captions facts (evidence) use your summaries commentary (your own thoughts) headings/subheadings Free choice (be creative) Leave no blank spaces. Fill the page! DUE October 16th !

Summary Make a final visual (poster). This is an assignment in which you may work alone, with a partner, or a group of three. Research, synthesize (put together) the information, and display it in an interesting manner. Make a final visual (poster). You should have a time keeper or organizer (to keep focused and on task). Remember working within a group is difficult and stressful. Make wise choices and be prepared for any obstacle. Do not have one person responsible for holding all of the information. Everyone must have access to the group’s findings & progress of the work at hand.

WEBQUEST TOPICS (you need to address something from 4 out 5 colors): John Steinbeck’s childhood and parents John Steinbeck’s early jobs and struggles to be a writer John Steinbeck’s marriages and children John Steinbeck’s writing style and focus John Steinbeck’s job during World War II Pearls Pearl diving (with emphasis on Mexico early 1900s) Scorpions (of the Baja Peninsula) Scorpion stings and remedies Of Mice and Men (no spoilers) The Grapes of Wrath (no spoilers) The Nobel Prize for Literature The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction La Paz, Mexico in the early 1900s (not modern day)
