That would have been something REALLY fun in grade school. I hope that some teacher does that with my demon-spawn when they get old enough.
I liked reading Shakespeare in high-school. I found it to be interesting, but it was way over the head of several of my classmates. The same teacher tried an experiment, using the DiCrapio movie as a supplement. We would watch a portion of the movie, and then read that same portion (including the stuff that wasn't in the movie) in the text. This really seemed to help some of the students wrap their noggins around what was going on in the story.
