Dreamland (OBOC 2018-2019)

If you would like to participate in this year’s common reading, Dreamland, but don’t have time to teach the whole book, the good news is that the majority of the chapters are short and can stand alone as inspiration for shorter lessons. We’ve created a chapter guide to help you find a chapter or thread that might work for your classroom or discussion.  - Kody Lightfoot, Chair of CSN's One Book/One College Program
