RESOURCE ALERT! I came across this wonderful resource with lots of free downloads. It says social studies, but could be great for devised work, theatre for social change, playwriting, etc. Check it out before Brown University shuts this down in the near future. www.choices.edu
Social Studies Curriculum - Choices Program at Brown University
Engaging, inquiry-based social studies curriculum for high school history and current issues classes, available in digital and print.
