text: Another reason projects should be student- designed is because they have more ideas. With many projects assigned they are usually being given a specific thing they have to work on. Many teens, however, dont want to do just one thing they want to be expressive and show how many ideas they really have. During class a teacher assigned a project that any students disagreed on, and many told the teacher that they didn't want to do that. The teacher asked the students what they wanted to do and many of them responded with different ideas about how to do it and what they wanted to do it on. in the end, the teens came up with more ideas that even she couldn't think of and assigned them to do whatever they had brought up or though of. Some will argue that more ideas isnt always better, but that would not be correct.
