text: When teachers give directions on a Summer project and give packets explaining what to do, from a students perspective, when they know summer is around they won't be paying attention in school anymore especially if it's the last month or last few weeks left and when summer does start they will lose track of the packet and directions that were given to them. It's different when someone gives you directions one month before summer starts and expect you to remember it but if they are not focused about school anymore how do expect them to remember a summer assignment. They are more worried more about what they are gonna do over the summer when school ends, but if a student makes the directions themselves and the project they are more likely to remember it because they know how it should be done and the expectations are made by them so that when they don't complete it they don't have anyone to but themselves.
