9572542f8681 | 1497D777FE12 | However, this should not be the case because it compromises the whole point of summer assignments. If students were to create them, the content of the assignments would not be as helpful. Summer projects are not necessarily about being enjoyable. Their purpose is to ensure that students do not become to accustomed to d... | Rebuttal | Effective |
9085181fe2f7 | 1497D777FE12 | For example, if there was a summer project for a chemistry class, the teacher would want to develop it so that it relates to the upcoming curriculum and provides a good introduction for the year. So, perhaps the teacher would assign work on the basic topics of chemistry, namely what an atom is and what the parts are, t... | Evidence | Effective |
7288ea3d8ae7 | 1497D777FE12 | It can be a shock, for some students, starting the school year blindly without any hints as to how the teacher is going to relay the curriculum to them. For example, one teacher may enjoy using textbooks to teach the subject, so he or she might assign pages to read or even a problem set for the summer. On the other han... | Evidence | Effective |
9ca7fdc00640 | 1497D777FE12 | Along with a summer assignment, a teacher could attach a rubric, for example, to clearly state what he or she expects out of a student.

15c8679a6f0b | 1497D777FE12 | teachers should design summer projects in order to prepare students for the year, introduce themselves and their style of teaching, and set the expectations for the school year.

bd7e38f04edc | 14A542270754 | This is mostly due to the fact that students can choose the things that better relate to their interests.

634847442ae2 | 14A542270754 | The opportunity for involvement and motivation offered by student-designed projects (especially during the summer) is great enough that I believe it would be worth it for teachers to adopt in place of more traditional assignments. | Claim | Effective |
119d4b07bd9a | 14A542270754 | Some people say summer projects have to support the student for the rigor of the following school year, and that student designed projects will not demand the same skills needed to prepare them for the next year. Therefore, teachers instead of students should make summer assignments | Counterclaim | Effective |
a421b2e97543 | 14A542270754 | But to the contrary, a large body of evidence supports that with minimal guidance from the teacher over the summer, taking longer breaks from hard and tiresome work isn't that detrimental for your learning. | Rebuttal | Effective |
e2f9324b0979 | 14A542270754 | While I realize that student-designed projects may fall short in providing the work ethic needed for the following year, I don't think that's the point of summer work. | Claim | Effective |
3b4eae67823c | 14A542270754 | The point is that you take a long break to refresh you for the next year so you don't burnout (e. g. senioritis).

a4d71621139c | 14A542270754 | Student-designed projects that can spark student's creativity also help teachers, since it's much easier and safer for them just to let a student create it themselves. Sure, there is a chance the teacher might get it right, but it's not guaranteed. And finally, there's nothing to lose. Yes, kids might cram it in the we... | Concluding Statement | Effective |
