It's actually kind of hard for me to speak to this because I was in a Shakespearean troupe in high school.
I think Shakespeare is best performed, and, if read, read aloud and perhaps even blocked out a little. And read with a dirty mind, too, you need someone who can read "the bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon." and crack the class up" because sexual wordplay/jokes is one of the things Shakespeare does really well (and usually well-appreciated by teenagers).
I think you probably want to combine watching the movie, reading aloud, and a performance project.
