So you tell them that they need it for the oral bagrut.... it's not a lie- they 
DO need it- they just don't HAVE to take it in... THIS year, anyway... go know 
what's going to be in the future- they might HAVE to bring them in at some 
point- that's not a lie, either!

  Yes, they can get full credit for the blarney, but if you want them to take 
the projects seriously....
  Once they realize they don't need the project with them, they'll relate to 
them differently.  The lazy students will try to get away with minimal 
projects, and if they don't fake well, they'll have problems.

    Aha.... but aren't we supposed to be testing their oral skills? Isn't it 
    really up to the class teacher to see to it that they do their project, and 
    penalize them on their yearly grade if they do not? So over whose eyes will 
    they be pulling the wool if they do not actually do a project? The worry of 
    a minority of them trying to bluff their way through a project worries me 
    less than the need of many/most (?) of them to have something tangible, 
that 
    they have invested significant time on, in their hands to focus on while 
    discussing it. Hence, for me, this is not really the issue.
