text: Being interested in a particular subject or idea would most likely increase the effort and time you put in to what pertains to the subject. Even thought its during the summer more students would complete a assignment that appeals to their interests rather then a standard project that teachers have assigned for years. For example if a student who likes Rap or Hip-Hop music is assigned to a research paper about all the major wars that the United States fought in they might not feel an appeal to do the project or at least not put in a lot of effort in ; if that same student was allowed to research the same topic but create is own song or rap about it would increase the interest about the project and the effort put in. There would be guidelines and rules about how the student can complete the assignment and the subject matter but as a overall the project would be student design based. Although some students might not have a preference on any type of assignment or if the teacher assigns everyone one universal project most would use their interest to create a project they would enjoy doing. Letting student summer projects be student-design would increase the interest in the project.
