text: Student-designed projects would give students more of a broad area to find an idea. If a teacher were to design the project, most student's projects would all be the same. Having the students create their projects will give a wider variety of projects and topics. If having to present, other students could find out an interest they never knew they had. For example: I have been learning about the wars since around 6th grade, so if that was what my project would be on, I would be very bored writing about it because, it is something that I have talked about for almost six years. But if I was given the opportunity to write about something I want to write about, I would choose forensics, because we do not have a class about it at school but it is something that I am highly interested in and want to know more about.
