10.9 Isthmus Test
On August 15, 1914 the Panama Canal opened- an international waterway that allows ships to pass between the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

Read a book with an outdoor scene that depicts a body of water on the cover. The body of water should appear large enough to float a boat that could hold one adult (no toys). A coastline/water's edge, horizon line or boat must be visible.

Required Include the cover when you post

these work

these don't work
A coastline/water's edge, horizon line or boat must be visible.
not an outdoor scene
not large enough to float a boat

yes, that would work

Would Middlesex work



It has a boat, but I'm not really sure whether or not to count that as a body of water, that's what it's implying though.

I don't think it qualifies as an "outdoor scene"

noooot really sure if this would work. standing in a river (?) next to a bridge. I'm assuming the Thames from my recollection of the series' setting.

not quite sure why she's standing in the water.....
but it is an outdoor scene with enough water to float a boat and the water's edge can be seen at the bridge, ok

Does work? It looks like there's a wall in the distance, and I don't know if small bodies of water get that choppy >_>
