text: Summer break is a beautiful thing, warm weather, clear skies, pools opened up, and three months without school! The idea of a teacher-designed summer project could upset a lot of students, but if it was a student-designed project the task would be much easier to complete. Keeping the brains active for the students so they're ready for when school starts up back again is a major deal, the idea of a summer project not only keeps the students thinking, but allows them to work on something that could be meaningful to them. Allowing them to design their own projects means they make something that they personally care about, something that they will ultimately put their all into to get that good grade.
