          3. * To explain and simplify a complex process: 1. How to start a project-based learning (PBL) activity. 2. How to create your own video. 3. Graphic organizers such as peer evaluation rubrics.

          5. When pupils feel more comfortable with the work (or project), they gradually become more independent, start making their own decisions and depend less on the teacher for direction and validation of their ideas. This builds self-confidence in students.
