text: Summer, one of the greatest times in a high school students life. A chance to take a break from school and sit back and relax in the warm summer heat. There are many ways teachers try to find a way for students to be able to keep up some of the things they learned during the break, one of the ways is assigning projects, should these projects be teacher designed or student designed? In my opinion they should be student designed. There are many reasons why but there are three reasons that really stand out to me .Students will find a fun and inspiring way to make a project, students also know what its like to be a teenager in the summer and not only doing the project but designing the project will help the student learn.
