Flag
 * 1) Decide if this is a small cooperative group activity to be done at each computer station, while using the big screen for directions, or if it is a whole class project to be done entirely on the big screen.
 * 2) Open a new Power Point (PP) and title the first slide that pops up with your country's or state's name.
 * 3) Make a new slide by clicking on "Insert" and then "New Slide" or by holding down the Ctrl button and hitting the M button.
 * 4) This is where we will put our flag facts. Use [|net Trekker] and click on images to search for an image of your flag. You can even select a flag that is waving. Or, you can go to [|this website] for country flags or [|this website f]or state flags. Let your studnet search for a flag in net Trekker if you can, it will improve their searching skills, but the Flags of the World website is the best one that I found.
 * 5) Right click on your flag and select copy.
 * 6) Go to your PP and right click on your 1st slide and select paste.
 * 7) Resize the flag by clicking the edges of the flag to make it fit properly.
 * 8) On the Flag Facts slide you can type facts from your website that are important to its history.
 * 9) Make a new slide (Ctrl + M) and title it "Bibliography."
 * 10) Copy the flag website that you used and paste it onto one of the bullets. This is how we will keep track of our sources. This is a great habit to get kids to do when researching on the internet.
 * 11) Don't worry about foofy backgrounds and slide designs until later. Always encourage kids to do content first and foofy stuff later.
