Skills needed to accomplish tasks

Self-evaluation on the own abilities/skills
The lecture was very pleasurable for the students today as the lecturer Mr. Rehan asked to prepare an aeroplane using the own abilities. Students made different kids of aeroplanes and next the lecturer asked the students to throw the aeroplane near to the white board. It was very exiting to see all the rockets flying here and there in the lecture room. Some students on their first time did that but some couldn't. Then the lecturer Mr Rehan guided the students how to prepare the aeroplane in order to achieve the target and the lecturer followed some steps. Then again the lecturer said to throw the aeroplane for all of the students. That time most of the students attempts was succcessful as the students got to know if the front is nib, it can hit to the target place. This time there were two winners. 


The following are some of the aeroplanes prepared by students.
