What is a bibliography?

A bibliography is a list of the books, periodical articles, resources from the internet and other materials of a specific author or publisher

Why do I need 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.

The bibliography goes at the end of your assignment.
