Will you be teaching freshman students on the Pullman campus? Request a copy of the Common Reading

If you will be teaching a class that will include first-year students on the Pullman campus, prepare for them by requesting a digital exam copy of Tales of Two Americas, the 2021-22 Common Reading book. Incoming first-year Pullman students will be receiving a digital of the book during Week of Welcome as a way of welcoming them to the academic conversation we’ll be sharing this year via a rich array of events and activities.

Don’t have time to work an entire book into your class?  Tales of Two Americas is an anthology of 36 short selections of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, which makes it easy to utilize just a short selection in your class–and to make that selection available via Canvas for students who don’t have a copy of the book.

Request your copy at https://commonreading.wsu.edu/request-a-copy/.

Do you have ideas or plans for events or activities that might fit the theme of inequalities? Contact Karen Weathermon, kweathermon@wsu.edu.
