Hi Heather,

I teach English, in Canada, at a French language High School. My students are in the applied stream (not the most advanced students), they typically need a lot of encouragement for anything that requires long term effort and engagement. Shakespeare is not high on their list of things to study. This activity is a great way to introduce them to the bard and still keep them engaged in their learning. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers! LNF
