text: Throughout my years in school I never once did a summer project that I was truly interested in. Most projects made us read a certain book and summarize it in some unique way. Every summer, one after another, we did the same type of project. Over and over again, reading a book and summarizing it. Those projects started to get boring and some summers I didn't even do them. Students never got a choice with anything. We didn't get to choose what project we did, we didn't get to choose if we worked with a group, we didn't even get to choose what book we did our report on. If students were able to decide what we did for our summer break project the completion rate would increase dramatically. Students are getting tired of doing the same project year after year. Letting students decide what project they do would give them the option to pick subjects that they are interested in. Therefor, there would be a lot more effort and enthusiasm from the students. Overall, students would be a lot more excited to start working and complete the project. For example, if I was giving the opportunity to design my own project it would have something to do with baseball. I enjoy the game of baseball. I've been playing since I was five years old and I have loved every second of it. I promise, if I was able to do my project on baseball there is no way I'm getting anything lower then a one hundred. I know some teachers would say, "We've tried to do more interesting projects and some students just aren't going to do them." Just because you think something is interesting or exciting doesn't mean the person next to you does. Some teachers now-a-days have no idea what students enjoy.
