Your brochure should be constructed in a large scale using a tri-board. At the end of the unit, Team Zeus will hold a travel fair in the cafeteria. We will set up brochures on the long cafeteria tables. During the fair you will be responsible for presenting your brochure to groups of students and teachers walking around. One table will present at a time all students will have the opportunity to see all of the brochures.
