text: Some people might say that the summer projects should be teacher-designed because then the students would not have to rush at the end of summer to get all of these projects done or that they would not have to worry about coming up with projects to do during the summer. However, having these projects be student-designed can show the creativity of a student. Students are more likely to do summer projects if they are able to be created by themselves because it allows them to express their selves and get a grade for it. Showing creativity for a student can be very important when it comes to creating projects because they want to show that they have actually put time and effort into the projects and that they did not just throw them together last minute. Putting in time and effort into school projects can give the students a lot of confidence because the student knows that they have fully researched the subject and that when they make the projects they know that they will get a good grade. It can also allow the students to be more open minded when coming up with these projects because the projects have to show what they have learned over the summer whether it is something new or something that they already know.
