text: When a student is able to choose a subject they are actually interested in they are able to be more creative and hands on. This creativity gives the students the opportunity to put a little bit of themselves making the project more relate able. As the project becomes more relate able the student is able to give more examples about the topic and how it relates to themselves ,and or the real world. Along with this the students are able to put in more effort to his or her project because the interest they have in the topic; fo rexample, If a student who loves history were to do this project she'd more than likely pick a topic that has to do with history like the cold war and gladly do the summer project, but if she were given a topic by the teacher that had to do with science she would not have as much interest in the topic and would be less motivated to complete the summer project. If a teacher were to assign a topic to the students it is likely that the students would either not complete the summer project or complete it to the bare minimum. This is because the students do not have any interest in that topic; therefor, they would not put in as much time and effort into the summer project. It is much easier for the student to complete an assignment that they enjoy learning about because they do not mind spending more time on the topic and or learning more about the topic. Some students may choose a subject they have never learned about, this could beneficial to the student.
