text: It's no surprise that students probably don't want to be spending their summer break doing homework, but giving them a project can actually be quite beneficial to them academically. By assigning a summer project, students have the opportunity to continue learning even when school is out. When teachers let the students decide for themselves exactly what the project should include, they are going to have a lot more fun with it; in fact, it may actually help them complete the project and impact their studies even farther. When given the opportunity to research something that they are truly interested in and passionate about, the outcome quality would be truly wonderful.
