text: Another reason why students should design summer assignments is because students know how their peers think and learn whilst on break, which also leads back to interesting projects the students will design. When students design the projects they think of what their classmates find interesting and it can be easier for them because they are students themselves. In other words, because they are students themselves, they know which projects to assign because they will find them interesting. Sometimes when teachers design projects they think it's interesting when they're actually not. In order to make sure they are fun, it's best to have students design the projects. When students are on break they don't want to learn from a packet of worksheets, they want to learn from fun experiments and activities. One time, my teacher designed a summer project and she thought it was an exciting experiment, but she didn't realize that the experiment was actually really long and complicated for the students. We were also on break and couldn't ask her because she didn't respond to anyone's emails. When you need clarification on a student-designed project you can easily ask them because you know where and who they are.
