A panorama picture page is like a picture page except it includes links to panorama pictures in the QuickTime VR format. A QuickTime VR picture is a particuluar QuickTime file that displays panoramic pictures. In order to display these pictures, the QuickTime plug-in needs to be installed.
Like the picture page assignment, you would also include a caption with each panorama picture.
Search for panorama pictures with a search engine. For example, a search for: "QuickTime VR" Canada would find links to panorama pictures of Canada.
Getting the address of a panoramic picture is more difficult than getting the address of a picture. The procedure is to open a page with a panorama picture and then choose the Page Info option from the View menu. This lists all of the files that are linked from this page. A QuickTime VR file has the ".mov" extention. Look for a file with this extension and then copy its address. Try the procedure on this page: http://www.tantramar.com/ti/qtvr/via_rail_station.html
You'll need to use the "EMBED SRC=" tag to display these panorama pictures on a page. EMBEDded pictures are by default very small so you'll need to also enlarge the picture with the WIDTH and HEIGHT options. For example:
<EMBED SRC="http://www.tantramar.com/ti/qt/via_rail_station_sackville.mov" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=200>
PROCEDURE:
FORMATTING OF PICTURE PAGE
The Panorama Picture page needs to be consistently formatted.
Like the picture page, it needs to begin with an outline followed
by the pictures. The scenes should be grouped in a logical way.
For example, the initial pictures might be of the physical landscape,
followed by pictures of the human environment. The last section
might have pictures of the human-induced changes on the physical
environment (e.g., terraced fields in China). It is important
to select pictures that are representative of the region.
The captions for each picture are critical. They should reflect concepts that are in the Notes pages. Each should be about the length of a paragraph.

<P>
Paragraph describing the picture This paragraph should be about 75 words. Example:<p>
A railway station in New Brunswick. As in the United States, passenger rail traffic has declined drastically since the 1950s. The government-owned railway in Canada still maintains passenger train service. Cities have also maintained their depots. This panorama depicts a passenger train and an old depot built in 1907. Notice the stone used in the construction of the building. Also, notice that one of the passenger rail cars has an upper seating area that allows a view in all directions.
