DM reads text explaining why the PC's are at the entrance of the dungeon (abandoned stronghold), then they walk in, begin exploring the first level and have options to move into second level (half-finished stronghold expansion). You WILL have to assign monster/treasure to each room, as the dungeon comes unstocked.  Personally, I would think this would be a good dungeon for easing new players into a D&D experience. There's no complicated backstory of NPC's that requires a seasoned DM and no need for theatrical participation (interacting with the King's Court, etc). The goal is really just to explore the place, kill monsters and steal loot. Back when I taught high school Latin, my students were more concerned about image than anything, so a module that had heavy components of speaking in character or whatever might really scare them off. Making the experience feels like a boardgame with an OPTION to go "over the top" (demonstrated by you, for example) might be the way to go. Seriously, just be careful about getting or encouraging being "in character" too much with your students. I'm telling you, unless you have a really secure bunch (unlikely in high school, but not unheard of), they might not be too receptive. You don't happen to teach drama, do you? If so, they might be more receptive to the in-character elements..  Incidentallly, though there's no clear "goal" other than to explore, kill monsters and steal treasure, it's easy to add a McGuffin (as another poster reminds). Maybe some bandits kidnapped the kids families and are holding them down on level two or something.</blockquote>
