So the only idea for your class I could come up with you probably wouldn't be able to do on the fly. I noticed most of the books you listed have film adaptations, and this could make for some interesting forays into adaptation theory for your students. If you have any ambitious ones you could have them make a short film of a particular scene, but again, that might be asking too much. One of my profs had an entire shakespeare and film class that was built around this concept. It was pretty innovative (though I didn't ever take it).

Probably one of the best constructed classes I ever took (and it actually wasn't an English class, it was TRS) had a large bank of optional assignments that you could choose - tests, a long research paper, short literature review papers, church reviews, or creative projects. It must have been really labor intensive for the professor to develop, but she really wanted students to showcase their talents as they learned. I showcased my talent for taking the path of least resistance and took the tests (she graded papers like a madwoman).

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you!
