Now, of course these lessons would be altered according to the cirriculum, like the science teacher would give the student an overall topic to choose from, but ultimately, it's their decision...
Because students don't understand where they'll use certain subjects in their personal lives:
In english, there could be a project where you would write about anything like money and compare it to irony with a person anecdote or set up a place to sell certain kinds of food at lunch and anylyze your findings so you could determine what peoples' thoughts were and all of that. You could also take your favorite G rated song and anylyze it.
For history, if you were studying why war strategies do better at certain times, you could talk about the familiarity factor and ask students to write about something that seemed way different when they were younger from the present time or the whole idea about UNCERTAINTY! They could draw what things used to look like and what they look like now!

In science, each person could write down a question they had like, “Why do peoples’ eye colors turn red once a photo is developed?” Then, the class would have about 30 labs dealing with each subject and the student who came up with the question would present their findings obtained by the class as a whole as an exam grade!
For math, you could go to a computer lab and select your major. Then, there’d be simulations of real-life experiences and then you’d be able to know where you’d use life in your occupation as well as at home. You could also have students bring a picture in and then the class would study it and look at various properties of the picture. You could take a series of pictures of one room and then place them all together to make one large picture and find the circumference of an object or upper level math theories, etc.

For art, you could take one of the projects you did in elementary school and improve on it or illustrate your favorite place that isn’t really a place; it is rather a state of mind.
