text: Will students still have the knowledge from school all the way through summer by doing a project in the summer? It depends on what the student wants to do on his/her project on. You can have one person do something about the Civil War and then you can have another person something about Kobe Bryant of course the one about the Civil War will be more educational then the one about Kobe Bryant. doing one about the civil war will help you keep your knowledge from school and all the stuff you have learned in the past months you have been in school,but if you are the other person and you are doing a project on Kobe Bryant that's a good project to do but you are going to loose the objective of the project and you are going to loose the knowledge of school and what you have learned in the past months of school, this is why i think some teachers give us the topic of the project and what we are going to be doing the project on because some kids will go off topic and not get the point of the project is to make sure we dont loose our knowledge in the summer because some kids will.
