Moby-Dick

Grades 10-12

The characters and action in Herman Melville’s great American novel are introduced in a program designed to capture the imagination and interest of all students. Whether they have read an abridged version or immersed themselves in the full-length novel, the Moby-Dick program enhances students' understanding of the adventures and trials of whaling.

Teachers are invited to work with us in setting the goals of the Moby-Dick program. Options include:

The tools and technology of whaling
Life aboard a "world-wandering whale-ship"
New Bedford in the time of Herman Melville
