OER Materials for TYCA West presentation "A Rhetorical Story: an OER Unit on Narrative Writing"

These open educational resources are currently being used and revised for future use in Salt Lake Community College's (SLCC) freshman composition course sequence as part of a rhetorical narrative unit. In an effort to further the principles of the open education movement, all are welcome to use, parse, or adapt these materials as they see fit. I only ask acknowledgement be paid to the authors and SLCC's open education program.
