For each unit, students will find their own example of the unit’s genre that meets Open Access (OA) criteria. The goal of this library is to demonstrate the depth and breadth of of these genres and understand how the genres are constructed–even if the sources vary widely. Each student has also written a brief explanation about why their chosen source fits within the specific genre. Students are welcome to include sources in any format–text, video, audio, or even a social media posting.

The library below will be created during the Fall 2026 Semester at Brooklyn College in ENGL 1010 FYSA.
