text: First of all, students should be able to design their own summer projects because they would take more time to make it as creative as they can. Whenever I am able to design any of my projects, I always try to find a way to make it creative and put as much time that I need to achieve that goal, because I enjoy the project. However if students are forced to complete the teacher designed projects, students will not put much effort into making the project creative. They would do just enough to get by and they would not care what grade they received because students want to enjoy the summer and do things that they enjoy and find interesting.
