Image Capture

The program I used was paint to put my image in. I retrieved the image from Life Magazine Archive under graphic objectives. The type of file that I created is a jpeg image. The size is 118 KB. I acquired my graphic by pulling up the image and pressing alt+print scrn button and then pulling up paint and pressing ctrl+v button. To improve student learning in my classroom I would incorporate this when I'm doing US History for fifth grade. We study how and why the Panama Canal was built. There was much debate over this. The United States wanted the canal for faster trading and traveling, and military purposes. It was finally created with Panama declared independence. We map out the two routes this would be a great image to show the routes and help the students remember why it was put in. The route before is labeled rt. b and the route after is labeled rt. a.
The Kissing of the two oceans
