text: There are a variety of reasons as to why summer projects should be designed by teachers. For starters, teachers know the curriculum and know what students need to learn, especially for the upcoming school year. Teachers can also give an overall theme and provide many mini topics for the students to do their project on to help with creativity and a higher chance of individuality. Teachers can also hand out rubrics for their students to help them stay on track and to let them know what should and what should not be included in their projects.
