The building of the Panama Canal

Today in class, we studied four different accounts of the building of the Panama Canal:

1. Modern Marvels - The Panama Canal (questions on p.134-135) We watched through question 8, about 15 min.
2. Panama Canal - Make Dirt Fly
3. Powerpoint: Panama Canal cartoons
4. "How Wall Street Created a Nation" (p.136)

How can the same story be told in so many different ways? How does your understanding the history depend on which version you know?

For homework, write or type one paragraph comparing and contrasting the 4 different accounts.
