3. Empire Building Group Slides
   In your group, you will decide who will handle each of the 5 slides (most groups will have 5 people, but some will have 4.  If you are in a group of 4, decide which person/people will do the 5th one).  You will read the OER Project link for your assigned empire, and complete your slide with both text and at least one image.
