I had a friend who made a made the class re-enact a famous (short) play - only the dialogues had been revamped by the students themselves (with a dash of humor!)

Being a dissertation help tutor, it helps to make use of such ideas and to create something new from the idea which is already been talked about.

There are lots of local officials (city council, mayor, freeholders) who would be happy to stop by and speak to your students for a bit. You can ask them about their day job (since most are part time) as well as their official government responsibilities.
