Step 4: As a group, come to a consensus to answer the following question and type your 2-3
sentence answer below: Which source was most effective for this topic? Why?

To determine which source was the most effective it can depend on the scenario. If you would
like to spread the word and persuade people to watch it the instagram post would be more
effective. However, if the purpose is to inform people and give your own opinion about a movie,
probably evaluation would be the most useful.
