You may complete the same exercise but using the directions below create the
“poster” on Google Earth. Instead of traditionally labeling you must include a placemark with a historical image and a fact appropriate to that era. Instructions are included below.
1. Label North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia.

Draw a path
Position the 3D viewer to best contain the region you want to mark. The more detailed your view, the more closely your drawing can follow the land feature. From the Add menu, select Path (Ctrl + Shift + T) or Polygon (Ctrl + Shift + G). The New Path or
New Polygon dialog box appears and the cursor changes to a square drawing tool. Enter the properties for your drawing just as you would for any other type of places data. o Hint: Change the style color (Style, Color tab) for the line or polygon from the default white to better visualize the shape you are about to try. Click in the viewer to start your drawing and use the following methods to achieve your desired shape: o Free-Form shape - Click once, hold , and drag. The cursor changes to an up-arrow to indicate that you are using free-form mode. As you drag the cursor around the 3D viewer, the outline of the shape follows the path of your cursor. If you are drawing a path, a line appears as a result, and if you are drawing a polygon, a shape evolves from the path of your cursor, always connecting the beginning and ending points. o Regular shape - Click and release. Move the mouse to a new point and click to add additional points. In this mode, the cursor remains a square drawing tool, and the path or polygon that you draw is exactly the same as the path and polygon creation.
Y ou can use a combination of these drawing modes to combine curved edges with straight edges. To transition from a freeform mode to a regular mode, just release the mouse button, position the pointer to a new place, and click. A straight edge is drawn between the last point and the most recent one. Reverse the process to enter free-form drawing mode again.
Create a placemark
Open Google Earth
Brainstorm on a placemark you want to create…(location, information, imagery to add, URLs needed)
Add Menu >Folder>Name (title) the folder
Notice this folder is now in your Places sidebar under My Places
Choose a location anywhere in the world (eg., Moscow).
Find this first location (“Moscow”) by typing the name in the “ Fly To” tab and pressing Enter.
Google Earth will take you to that location
On the Sidebar, highlight your new folder > right click it and select Add Placemark (or click on the yellow pushpin and + sign on toolbar at the top to add a placemark.)
Highlighting the folder first ensures that your placemark goes inside your new folder!
A dialog box “Google Earth – New” will appear. Within this box, you can edit the properties of the new placemark (enter a name in top field, change the pushpin icon/color by clicking icon to right of
Name field.) Click OK at the bottom to save.
You should now see the new pl acemark with title (“Moscow”) on the screen.
Right click on the placemark icon and choose Properties.

The description box will be used to customize your new placemark.
To include text about your placemark, simply type it into the box (“Moscow is the capital of Russia.”) and press OK.
Click once on your placemark to see the title and text.
To add an image to your placemark, use the <img src=””> html code and paste the URL (web address) of the image in between the quote marks <img src=”http://www.englishrussia.com/images/moscow/moscow_city_sale/moscow_city_sale1.jpg”>
OR access a KMZ file that contains an image, (e.g., DRHS) and copy and the paste the code for the image into your properties box. Then delete the DRHS image out of the code and enter the URL of the image (jpeg) you wish to include in place of the
DRHS image in the code.
To add a hyperlink (to a web page or object such as a sound file,) use the <a href="Web Address or URL">Text to show</a> OR copy the link code from DRHS and paste it into the properties description box, then change the URL link.
When you close GoogleEarth, your new placemarks should save (though you will be prompted to save new places.) You can right click on each placemark, folder or image, select “Save Place As “and save them to a location on your computer.
