The curriculum for advanced-level modern languages revolves around 6 themes as expressed through Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Teachers are always looking for ways to incorporate these themes into reading, writing, listening and speaking activities. We propose having a day for modern-language teachers to discuss these six themes and activities, and also to brainstorm and to develop new standards-based activities to use in class. The themes are useful at any level, thus facilitating vertical alignment. Teachers of all levels are invited to attend this session. MB-S18257
