I never got to do stuff like this, all I ever got was "Memorize the balcony scene. Now, answer these 10 true/false questions and recite the definition of these 10 words...." That sort of boring stuff. I can assure you (and any students that might be listening) - the "how does it apply to your life" approach is far more fun!
