I had a phenomenal English teacher my 10th grade year (I liked her so much I manipulated my schedule to have her in 11th and 12th as well). One of the things that she had us do was break down the Shakespeare that we read (R&J and Julius Caesar, of course, but she also gave us Coriolanus and, if memory serves, Othello that year) and together, in class, write summaries of important sections that were as salacious and plain-language as we liked. 15-year-olds never studied a text so hard as we did, looking for an excuse to reference genitalia, slang, and scatological humor out loud in front of an authority figure.
