It also gives the opportunity to shy students to say something that they may not have wanted to say previously in open class. It help them realize that their ideas can be as good as the other members of the group. It helps to build their self-esteem, because they see themselves in a position as a contributor to knowledge and not solely as the student-receiver role.`
