We hope this is more convenient for users!

About The Choices Program from Brown University - http://www.choices.edu/about/ "The Choices Program is a non-profit organization based at Brown University. We develop curricula on current and historical international and public policy issues and offer professional development for educators.
Choices materials incorporate the latest scholarship from Brown University and beyond to draw connections between historical events and contemporary international issues.
In each unit, a central activity challenges students to consider multiple viewpoints on a contested issue. Students examine the historical, cultural, and political background of the issue to prepare a coherent presentation.
Follow-up discussion demands analysis, and evaluation of conflicting values, interests, and priorities. Ultimately, students are expected to formulate persuasive arguments and express their own views."
Also, "Teaching with the News" lessons explore current events!
Check the Choices website for many units of study. New units are always being created!
Below is an example of a new unit created to address racial inequality.
It is a free unit and is designed for remote teaching and learning.
