After reading it again, from a newbie perspective, gosh, you're right! I wish I could've written this, but with about a month to sort it out.

I fear though, because it is the end of the year, students are stressed and at year's end - probably - and ready for the summer to begin - that the assignment will not be what it could be.

Thank you. That's part of why this felt wrong; I just didn't have that sorted out in my head yet.
I do wish I could've explored this earlier. Wow, I think I'm a nerd...
I'm going to write a letter to the teacher. He will be open-minded to it as he always has been; the fact that I did the original assignment helps.
The short time and the heavy weight make it a punishment--something an assignment should never be. Assignments should be an invitation to stretch and grow and learn--isn't that why we're in school?
I'll let you know what kind of response I get.
Thanks all.
