Biography Project
Citing your sources
Remember to cite the source of information that is:
* A direct quote
* Not a well known fact
* Someone else's opinion
* A statistic
You do not have to cite information that is commonly found in a number of reference books. Examples would be a person's birth date, place of birth, etc.
Write your report in your own words.
