Building Your Slide Deck: Two Approaches
For both approaches: First create an outline or text
• Begin your web search
• Download photos, artwork, maps, etc. for easy retrieval
• Create your PowerPoint slide deck
• Fill in the gaps

Building Your Slide Deck: Second Option
• Use detailed outline or text to create text-only PowerPoint slide set.
• Do web search slide-by-slide to find best graphic (photo, map, drawing, etc.).
• Find a graphic that works and move on.
• Do second search, looking for better examples, where necessary

Google Search Strategies
• Try a variety of “key words”
• Select “all” then move to “Images” or “Videos”,
• The more specific the wording, the more likely to find the right match

Creating Lists of Websites for Future Use
• Pinterest can be a “source of sources” I searched: “Early Eastern American Frontier” and found this Robert Griffin print.
• Then a search of “Robert Griffin Art” took me to the homepage and many more potential pictures.
