Examine the data about workers who helped construct the Panama Canal.

1. From where did most of the workers originate?  Why do you think this was?

Read the passage about providing for the workers and use the information to plan for your own modern construction project.

1. Design a monumental construction project that could occur in the world today that would benefit 3 criteria:  (1) travel  (2) the global economy  (3) national defense similar to the way that the Panama Canal has affected the world.

2. What would your construction project be, how would it benefit the 3 criteria, what would be the demographic of your workers, and what types of accomodations would be required to facilitate the construction.
3. Use the scoring guide to help you and your partner collaborate over the internet on a Google Presentation that conveys your ideas.
