How To Write A Bibliography
What is a bibliography (bib-li-og-ra-phy)? A bibliography is a list of the books of resources on a specific subject.
Why do I need to make a bibliography? A bibliography helps you know where you got your information from and it lets your teacher know you are giving proper credit for your sources of information.
What do I include in a bibliography? You should list every source you use such as a book, a movie, a website, an interview or any information that did not come from you.
Where do I put the bibliography for my assignment? The bibliography goes at the end of your project
