text: Furthermore, having students choose their own summer projects is better because teachers will enjoy grading a variety of different topics. Giving one singular topic for every student to do a project on must be boring to grade for the teacher, but giving projects to students that they can choose can let the teacher learn more about their students. For example, if students in a 10th grade class were assigned a summer project of counting the average number of meadowlarks in an Oklahoma corn field before sundown by their teacher they surely would not enjoy sitting outside counting birds all day long. Now some people may like watching meadowlarks in a corn field, but if a group of students who played cricket could choose their own project they would choose the average number of pegs caught in a single game. Cricket is definitely an interesting sport to play and watch , so while grading the project the teacher could discover that some students in the school enjoy cricket and the teacher could start a cricket club. Now think, of all the different projects student could turn in if they could choose their own project. To summarize, allowing students to choose their own summer projects is better because teachers will enjoy grading a variety of interesting topics.
