Oh the Choices!

The Choices Program from Brown University engages students in current events, critical thinking, analyzing multiple perspectives, and congressional simulation. "Immigration in the 21st Century" and "International Trade: Competition and Cooperation in a Globalized World" are the two that I have used with my Advanced Academic classes.  Students really enjoy the simulations...especially the role playing.  Choices also has a Youtube channel with excellent video clips to introduce concepts.  They feature foremost scholars, such as Gordon Wood.
