text: Students can be more involved in how they continue to learn with student-designed summer projects. Letting the students choose will better their sense of responsibility. They can choose exactly what they need for next year without having to do all the stuff that will only make them forget. Students having more freedom lets them feel like the summer project is there choice to stay fresh and not a extra long over the summer homework assignment. Students just want to be able to control their learning and how they spend their own time, not having someone else control how they can better their own learning.Summer projects are beneficial for learning. Students should design their own projects over the summer because they have time, can work with friends, and are educated about the subject. Some state that teachers should design the project because they have more experience and better planning, but this is false. Although some may disagree, students should design their own projects over the summer.
