history, cultural history, etc. F) why you chose to examine your particular topic for a virtual tour.  

Please 

note, I do not want any timers on the slides as I like to look at each slide at my own pace.  Please be sure 

that you do not set any slide or presentation timers to your project-thank you in advance!
