text: Summer the time to explore and try anything, such as traveling a to a new country, trying a new sport, learning an instrument, or just hanging out with friends. These activities make for perfect topics that students could choose from if the summer projects they do are student-designed. With teacher-designed projects, the teacher doesn't know what kind of activities their student does during the summer and will result in a difficult topic that will be hard for the student to connect to. By allowing student's to design their projects by implementing their summer activities in their project, it will result in a higher quality of work as student's would like the activity they choose, not stress them or detract their focus from the project itself, and allows the student to connect with their project.
