text: The teacher-designed project will challenge the students on topics they would have already learned during the school year. It's a good way of challenging them on what they already know so that they can see what they remember and what they might need to relearn. Some may argue that the students would be too stressed during the summer from the project that they won't really enjoy their summer. However, if they take time and pace themselves the project shouldn't take that much time; since it's based on what they previously learned.
