$ummarise the contri%ution of other mem%ers of your group /approx. =00 words1!

@ felt like the other mem%ers of my group gave a very good contri%ution to our presentation. @t was Euite difficult to find a time for each of us to meet up together, so @ created a Face%ook group chat. @t was here where we shared ideas, and discussed topics. While it was difficult at first to find suita%le articles, @ think we all managed in the end. We each did our own poem and article from 0anyer-s ?$alve Deus )ex *udaeorum;. Dowever, @ felt like the most difficult part of the assignment was assigning people to speak, as we felt it gave some people an unfair work load. @ %elieve that each mem%er of my group worked well with the material that we had. While the topic was difficult, they succeeded in producing useful material to use in the presentation. 2verall, @ found that my group mem%ers took the assignment very seriously and responded well to any suggestions that were made. We worked very well together, and @ would have no pro%lem with working with these people again in the future.
