text: Students would be much more motivated to do their work regularly if they played a role in the assignments they got; like deciding together as a class what work should be worked on. During summer, a time where students are supposed to catch a break from school, the least that could be done is having the students take part in what the summer project would be about, what you have to do, etc. Summer is a good time to clear ones mind from the exams taken near the end of second semester, and working on a project that peaks your interest, one that sounds like fun, doesn't seem that bad.
