 * This looks very interactive and fun! I like the topic, especially since high school kids are all about having fun, and what better way to engage them than to talk about parties? I also like how you have the food incorporated, especially them making their own German dishes based off of German recipes. That can really actively involve students.
 * Dative case is really hard to explain, how do you plan on doing the circling activity? I had a hard time reviewing it with my German 3/4, it would be interesting to see how you introduce it!
 * I REALLY like your soccer idea! And I bet it's a lot of fun, especially since the World Cup is coming up soon, and this can get students more interested in watching it.
 * Do you have a test at the very end over this unit? What are your assessments overall?
