text: Student-designed summer projects are better for students than teacher-designed ones because they are more for fun for the student to make, they are easier to understand for the students because students learn more from other students, and they would put more effort into those projects because students know what other students in their grade like. Summer projects are a lot of work for students, but if students were allowed to design these projects so that they would appeal to other kids in their classes or their grade more students would do those summer projects and expand their knowledge on topics they should learn or want to learn more about. Overall, summer projects would have more students working on them with strong effort if they were made by students. "Good morning students, this is your morning announcements. This is your principle speaking. I would like to make an announcement that all students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity this year. Thank you for listening." "That sounds like a great idea. I can do track this year," I said. "I can do drama club this year," said the girl that sat behind me. If the principal made us do at least one extracurricular activity this year, that would have students make new friends, be active in activities they like, and help get into a class or what to do to make this into a career.
