LOVE the idea of using a party to compare their social habits. Much more realistic than just looking at dated "this is a party in country" in a textbook. I assume the music will be a big deal, since it's a party, and a good way to get students involved. How will you pick the music? user:Katie23

Party after school! This is a very cool project! What will you do if most parents are unable to attend (i.e. if they are working)? Is there an alternative "audience" -- maybe other teachers or students? user:Anny1
