text: Teacher-designed summer projects are important because they help students review on major topics from their previous years at school. An example of this is Algebra II math teachers. They have to make sure students remember everything from Algebra I before they can expand and teach new topics in math. By putting problems on the summer assignment from Algebra I, it allows the students to review and remember more from that class. Then when going back to school in the fall, the teacher can spend less time reviewing old material, and start teaching new things to the students. Another example of this is World History II teachers. By having a teacher-designed summer project, they can put important things to remember so that students refresh on the topics that are necessary for that class. The teacher knows exactly what will be taught through the school year and can make the summer assignment a great review for the upcoming class.
