To make a good decision you need to know pros and cons regarding your decision.  By using the TBL- thinking based learning method  and its graphic organizer, the students thoughts about their own projects became visible. They had to reflect upon their choíces and what the consueqences  could be for their choices (projects). The TBL- procedure really helped them to identify  important  needs for their projects and to sort out what to focus on. This was also very helpful to them when writing their project plannings.
