Pros

• The research project is a great way to learners to think about and plan for the practicalities of post-high school life
• The requirements for the project are detailed and the rubrics are based on the assignment sheet

Cons

• The link between the research project and the reading of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, though rational, seems forced and short-changes a study of the controversies surrounding Twain's novel
