text: Additionally, if a project is student-designed, it's more relatable. Many teachers admriably try to keep pace with students in terms of relatabillity, they try their best to find out whats occuring in their students mood and media, but they end up failing numerous times and instead, end up looking like they want to be the "cool teacher", which is definitely not relatable. Many times Teachers, or the school board, choose unrelatable prompts for essays, and concepts for projects that just aren't interesting to the student body. In most circles, students usually know what their peers are interested in. Many essays that are written over the summer have prompts such as; "What did you learn over the summer? provide specific examples of how you've learned these things, and cite it in MLA format." In truth, thats far too formal for a project that's supposed to be written about something the student is passionate about. Instead of the aforementioned prompt, a student would most likely assemble one that looks more like; "What are a few things you enjoyed this summer? Provide the history of these hobbies or activities and cite your sources where possible." This approach puts far less stress on the student and overall helps their morale, whilst still remaining relatable.
