The SCORE CyberGuide to The Pearl was developed by Linda Taggart-Fregoso.
This unit asks students to consider the following questions:

* Why do good writers use symbolism in their writing?
* Why is point of view an important technique to consider when
writing?
* Who is John Steinbeck?
* What are the important things in life?
* How does the author create an interesting character?

"Understanding The Pearl" is an internet lesson plan for 8th graders developed by Joanie Hedge.
