text: Over the summer, kids have plenty of time and to do almost everything; which means they have plenty more opportunities for activities than when they were in school. Some kids get a job all summer, participate in travel sports, or could be making memories with family and friends. All of these could cause students to lose track of time and even forget about the task they are given. Some may complete it first thing summer starts, but realistically, not everyone would do that. A way that a student-designed project would help out with that is if it is their idea and they know how they would go about it, it could be a stress reliever and would be easily completed on their own time. That way, this will not be an obstacle to the student's plans or goals for the summer break.
