1. Open PowerPoint. 2. Find a picture of Ancient Egypt using Google images. Add this picture to the first slide, making sure it fills the slide. 3. Copy the URL for the picture on to the slide. Make the URL font very small, but readable, and place it along the bottom edge of the slide. 4. Add a title to the picture using a text box. 5. Add a new slide. Be sure to select a two content slide (two side by side boxes). 6. Delete the title space. 7. Stretch the remaining two boxes to the top of the slide. 8. In the left-hand box, type a 5 sentence summary letter to your teacher, sharing interesting facts about Ancient Egypt. 9. In the right-hand box, type your teacher’s address at school as if you were going to mail your postcard:
