We did something like this in my History of the English Language class in University. Dr Drinka didn't quite know what to make of it, but she was nonetheless impressed

had a teacher in uni pull a sneaky one on us, told us to book time in the tape archives bc we needed to memorize/recite the first 14 or 20 lines or so including getting the pronunciation right, then absolutely did not have us actually recite it, knowing that we'd all already put the work in.
