text: Secondly, summer projects should be student designed because they would want to do the project. When I was in middle school, every summer teachers assigned me a summer reading packet with a list of books that you have to chose to read. I never wanted to do the project because their werent any books on the list that i enjoyed, which made me not want to do it. Students will procrastinate if they are assigned a project that they dont find fun and enjoyable which means they have to rush and they would not get a grade that will be needed to pass the class.
