Throughout the year the teachers have been seeing what topics students are doing well in or what topics they need more help with. If a student is struggling in a area, then the summer project should be about that topic to ensure that the students jumps back into learning prepared. If a student were to design the project them self, they would want to make it about easy topics or topics they are already good at, not the ones they really need help in. Having teachers create the projects will ensure that the most needed topics are covered and will help students get back to learning with less confusion.
