Source Cards
• When you find a source that has a lot of information about your person you should make a source card for that source.

websites or books.• Source cards are index cards on which

Why Do I Need To Make Source Cards?
• They will help you: Identify the sources of your quotations and ideas for citing your sources later (giving credit to your sources.)
• Find sources again if you need them.• Make your works cited page (a list of the
sources from which you used borrowed material in your project).
• And if all of that does not make sense yet, just because I am telling you to because it will make this project a lot easier.
