I incorporate Intrinsic motivators, I speak about relevance in the skill builds, so the student understands why they are learning what I'm teaching. Then the projects at the end of the week the student can make what they want using the skills they learned during the week.
I give the students video feedback complementing the students about the work that they submitted, telling them what was great about their work, and then I speak about what they could do to make their work even better.
There's a discussion in some weeks so that the students can show off their work they created the week before, they can speak about their work using terms they learned during that week, and then reply to their classmates on what they liked about their work using terms they learned during that week.
