I always liked doing research papers for my literature classes and I realized that the reason I liked doing them is because I was interested in finding out about the topic I chose. That's why I let you choose your own books and develop your own topics. I don't expect you to have fun doing this paper, but I want you to at least be interested in what you're working on.
I never really liked busy-work either, but now that I'm in the position of the teacher, I wonder whether the teachers meant the work to be busy-work, or whether they actually felt that the work was reinforcing the concepts from the class. I know that some of the things I assign are considered busy-work by my students, but I never think of it as such.
