to be or not to be

I'm going to have to try and teach a Shakespeare text to a group of 10 or so 7th - 8th graders (12-14 years old). We're in Puerto Rico.
Any ideas on how I might make this a good class would be appreciated. Thanks.

HELP WITH LEVEL TESTS

Hi All.
I am due to start some new classes, and have around 10 adults, and 15 elementary-middle school kids coming for an assessment. I am about to start writing a level test for both (or maybe all 3) groups.
Any comments or help with this ? I'm still thinking of what texts to use also.
Thanks.
