[xmca] LV Quote on the importance of meaningful work in learning and development

As a lead in to my question...yesterday afternoon I watched an undergraduate
student literally skip out of Mike's office. He is taking part in a class
where the students are engaged in real work - in accomplishing an important
task that would otherwise not get done - and his enthusiasm for
the assignment was palpable.

Along that line, I'm looking for a Vygotsky passage that discusses the need
for leading activities to have real meaning for the learner. By any chance
do you have a great quote at your fingertips?
