Tasks for a holiday: Striking a 'balance' between relaxation, fitness, and creative undertakings

Riccardo Ferrari, a 15-year-old student at Cavalieri di Verbania's liceo scientifico, is penning a new installment of his column. Since his youth, Riccardo has nurtured a passion for journalism, and his writings offer a unique perspective on the world and current events.

In his latest piece, Riccardo discusses the importance of creative summer assignments. He argues that these tasks should stimulate creativity rather than being a list of books to read, written tasks, or empty exercises. Instead, he proposes historical research, learning new translation techniques, reading English news, or setting phones to English as engaging alternatives.

Riccardo also suggests that instead of memorising dates, events, grammar rules, or long vocabulary lists, summer assignments could involve practicing dialog, developing logical thinking through real-life, logic, and geometry tasks, or focusing on learning new translation techniques or reading Latin excerpts.

However, Riccardo is careful to note that these creative assignments should not be too numerous or intrusive, as they should help students stay sharp while providing a balance with more traditional assignments. He believes that a compromise between traditional and creative assignments is necessary to ensure a well-rounded education.

In addition, Riccardo emphasises the importance of having teachers available during the summer to provide support and help students work better. He suggests that a compromise on assignments should be found on a larger scale, such as at a ministerial or school level, to provide a common guideline.

Despite extensive research, the name of the school where Riccardo Ferrari received his education remains undisclosed. Regardless, it is clear that Riccardo's passion for journalism and innovative ideas will continue to shape his future writings and potentially influence educational policies.
