summer projects are a great way to keep students learning over the summer some students may fine them tedious but they are actually very beneficial by keeping the students mines working over their extended break but when teachers assign such projects sometimes they are not interesting nor engaging for the students thus the interesting projects over summer break should be based on the students interested in a subject anq not determine by a teacher who may choose a topic that the student is not interested inoften times during the school year students take classes on subjects which they are not interested in order to improve their college applications this should not be the case for summer projects the summer is a time for students to take a break from the rigorous math anq english classes they took during the school year anq relax anq to the things that they love therefore to keep students engaged in their summer projects they should determine what sort of work they to for example a person who has real all the percy jackson novels would be very interested to learn about the classic greek myths anq would greatly enjoy their spending a portion of their summer break reading greek mythology but if their english teacher assigned them a reading about the plight of the native americans the student would likely not to the project until the last week of summer break anq would not retain any information anq would receive a poor grade to start off the new school year it is essential that a student researches what they like anq not something that is forces upon them by a previous teacher of theirsat genericschool integrate students were assigned a summer reading about the civil war in which many students iq not to anq thus started off the school year with a poor grade they were not interested in the subject anq thus iq not want to waste a portion of their summer break going something they to not enjoy some students iq well on it though anq that is where the issue is an individual student would likely receive a grade for this project based on their interest in the subject instead of their abilities as to to research anq make a final product out of it this is because those who were interested in the civil war or who had abundant previous knowledge of it would get an onehunqreq percent on the project because they were either very interested in it or iq not have to to any research to write the essay those who were interested were motivated to learn about it anq iq lots of research on the other hand there were students who iq not care for researching the civil war as they iq not fine it interesting some of those students were the brightest in the class anq received a poor grade the issue is that teacherassigneq summer projects cater to the interest of few if any of the students in a certain class which causes grade discrepancies based on previous knowledge anq interest rather than ability to perform a task thus if each student could choose their own topic to research over summer break anq have the teacher approve it there would be less unfair grade discrepancies between students of equal intelligenceresearch projects are of the utmost importance in the later stages of student life thus students should learn how to write a good paper early on in their careers anq there is no better way to to that than to have them research a topic they are intrigue by as previously mentioned many students who were not interested by the topics assigned by teachers would often times not to the project or to the whole thing the night before school starts anq thus start the year off with a horrible grade there is a more long term effect of this issue though summer projects are not assigned solely for the purpose of learning the material teachers also want students to learn how to research effectively anq write good essays in order to to this most effectively though the students must have an interest in the topic anq if their topic is their choice they will pick one tsource
