text: Teacher based projects will also enhance the knowledge of individual students who complete the assignments. The information required to learn in the Summer assignments will be used in that class, and maybe in life also. A great representation of this would be my Summer assignment for Economics. For this class we were required to research about what the economy really is and what it does. Little did I know that my idea of what the economy is was very wrong and misunderstood. I learned about how the economy as a whole works, about how the United States and world economy work together, and about what the economy does and accounts for. Without this Summer assignment I still would have learned about it in class, but digging deep into the topic caused me to open my mind about some things. I gained a lot of knowledge and learned a lot that most people don't understand about the economy. Projects created by teachers also can get people to enhance knowledge and explore new topics.
