text: I have done many summer projects over the past couple of years, and I have noticed that the projects with the most rules and standards were the ones I worked on last minute. I did not find them interesting, because I was forced to do exactly what the paper said. I personally enjoy having to come up with my own themes, and using whatever material or format that I wish to use at the time. One of the best parts of a project is the design. We get to make it look the way we want it. Unlike regular school work we can pick the color, the fonts, and the format. During the 9 months we are in school we are required to do work we don't necessarily want to do. Summer is our time to relax, and if we are still needed to do this work than it should be something we want to do. Expression is a big thing for my age group. If you make a project more expression and creativity based, kids will automatically be more drawn to it. I definitely was during my last project.
