text: Students will come back to school from summer completely refreshed; however, if they don't do a summer project, they will feel lost. Some schools require a book report, or some sort of homework from some of your classes. Those book reports and homework keep you from forgetting the essentials in learning. The point is to make sure that there is some educational activity, and assure that students won't forget basic resources. Becoming lost mentally can feel like being dropped in a random part of the world. Without having some sort of tracker to keep students focused over the summer, students would feel lost and confused when they came back. Recovering from being confused and lost is easier said than done. As classes continue to progress, not knowing what happened before is brutal. Summer projects help prevent that with continual learning.
