Fun With Outlining?

The honeymoon just might be over.

We are wrapping up The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn and the students must begin working on Junior Ex-a project that involves researching a career, writing a detailed outline, interviewing two sources, and presenting your findings to a panel of three people. The students are stressed as teachers are constantly reminding them that they cannot pass Junior Year if they do not pass Junior Ex.

It all starts on Tuesday and the anxiety mixed with the dryness of the materials is a bit scary to me. My uni supervisor will observe me on Thursday when I must dedicate the entire period to outlining. I really do believe that you can make every lesson fun...but I am at a loss here.
