    Hi: This email is in response to the individual who would like some
    advice from experienced educators about creating student activities for
    THE PEARL. The activities would help students better understand the
    culture, etc. I have written and had published a series of activities
    for The Pearl, along with activities for other novels. The name of book
    in which activities can be found is NOVEL EXTENDERS ACTIVITIES THAT
    PROMOTE THINKING ( Multicultural Collection) The publisher is ECS
    Learning Systems, San Antonio, Texas. The 800 number is 1-800-68-TEACH.
    If you or others need more information or would like to know what
    activities I've created for other novels, please let me know. Natalie
    Lewis . You can email me directly at nlewis6331@aol.com Hope to hear
    from others.
