West Africa Powerpoint Page

    This Powerpoint presentation was originally designed to be used with my 5th grade classes as part of a unit on West African drama.  It can be adapted to suit your needs.   You will probably have to download the sound and video files separately, so I have included those as well.  To download, just right click and choose "save target as."  Once it's on your computer, put all the files in a folder together.  You may have to re-insert the movie clip from United Streaming into your powerpoint, so that the right path is specified.  To do this, first delete the picture of the movie from the Powerpoint page that it is on, then click "insert">"Movies and Sounds">"Movie from File."  Navigate to where you saved the downloaded movie clip and select it.  The movie should play!
