The day began normally...
We had two "Meine Woche" presentations, followed by a lesson over the two-way nature of prepositions (accusative versus dative).
Then we had our murder mystery Roman banquet, as planned. My fear that not enough people would bring food was not realized--we had so much food that a substantial portion was leftover! The school purchased pizza as a contribution to the party as well.
Our KellnerInnen did an excellent job, and our killer claimed 5 victims before being found out after dessert.
There were poems, toasts, and a song as assigned. Also, togas.
We ended the day on a low-key note by doing 6-panel comics to practice our preposition use.

12.März '16 - Preparations
Today began like any other day, with a student presenting her week to the class and regaling us with the details.
We engaged in a review of dative prepositions and learned the declensions (definite) for the dative case as well as how to use them. Much dancing was involved.
Each student also did a picture and description of their own rooms and where everything in them is.
Next week shall be our Roman banquet, celebrating and commemorating the end of our Roman Empire unit before we move into the middle ages. Each student present today volunteered to bring something for the banquet. We also made "character cards" so that each will know the person they are supposed to be role playing for the duration.
All present are required to wear a toga.
This should be fun.

5.März '16 - Einhornjagd
Today we hunted unicorns.
It all began with "Ich hab 'nen Traum" (I have a dream) from Disney's "Tangled," my favorite Disney song of all time and a far better movie than "Frozen."
Three students presented their "Meine Woche" this time as well.
Then we had some geopolitics in the form of a lesson and discussion over the Fall of Rome.
After lunch, the groups who did not yet record their Teutoburg skits were given their final opportunity to do so.
We finished off the day with a review of prepositions in the form of a Unicorn Hunt. Three groups of students had to find the right color of unicorn; we had 23 total hidden throughout the school by the faculty and I earlier in the day.
