Step 5 : Presentation of the brochure
Share your brochure with another team. Each team member should explain his/her topic. During the presentation, the team who will be listening have to fill out a student evaluation for each team member of the group who is presenting. You can print the "student_evaluation.pdf" below. At the end of both presentations, discuss about the differences and similarity between the two brochures.
