text: Teacher-designed summer projects allow for easier grading, because a specific rubric can make grading easier and more equal. For example, if a high school English teacher has 30 students who all design their own project, the teacher will have to grade 30 completely different projects to see if the student learned. This may be difficult because one student may make a presentation showing a time line of specific events in a book or novel, while another student may write a research report on the usage of different parts of speech in common language. These are completely different topics and mediums of presenting information that relate to English, but the teacher will still have to grade them equally. This will be difficult for the teacher, because the projects have very little in common other than being related to English. The teacher may have a hard time giving a fair grade to students, because the projects are so different. On the other hand, if the teacher designs the project, then they can grade the projects equally and easily. Even if the project design is as simple as "make a presentation relating to English," the teacher can still grade each project the same because they all have something in common other than relating to English. The teacher can then grade the projects quickly and easily to be able to move on and teach throughout the school year.
