I'm teaching the undergraduate survey of programming languages
course this semester and would like to spend one 75 minute lecture
on Modula 2.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should emphasize to give
my students an accurate impression of the language?

By way of background: because of recent changes in
our curriculum most of my students learned either Ada
or PL/I as a first programming language.  Most of the transfer
students in the class learned Pascal first.  I have one student
(doctoral student in history of science!) who knows only
Fortran and Basic.
