text: Schools that require summer projects from students should let the students pick and design their projects because it uses their imagination. Over the summer, students get bored and do not know how to spend all of their time. With a project to plan on their hands, they can put everything in their heads onto paper, or even into art form. If the student travels over the summer, they can do a project on the history of where they traveled to. Maybe the student just stayed home and played video games all summer. That is okay; they can come up with a back story to the video game and do a project on that. Doing this will let their imaginations run wild.
