text: Summer projects are made for the students to assure that they continue to learn during their break from school, but the real question is, should the projects be designed by students? Or should they be designed by teachers? In my opinion I believe that if the project was student designed, there would be a lot more creativity and will to want to finish the project. If the teacher decides that they will give the students a prompt, it could result in students losing interest in the project and not ending up finishing it. From my past I have realized that I have worked harder as ever when it was something I was passionate about. A student-designed project could ignite that passion for some students.
