For general information about an author's work and life, use encyclopedia articles or biographies. Here are some place you can find those:
  • Britannica Middle School
  • Explora Middle School--Use the "Topic Overview" if there is one.
To hear what the author says about himself/herself, or what people say about the author, use interviews, news, reviews. Here are some places you can find those:
  • Explora Middle School--Limit your search to "News," "Magazines," and "Reviews."

Cite these sources as you work. Find the article's MLS citation and copy it. Paste it into your notecard.
