Assignment task: This week, you should submit a draft bibliography for your biography project. You should have between 3 and 5 sources with at least one book.
Other ideas for sources: Journal Articles, Oral Histories, Newspaper Articles, Paintings, Lyrics from Songs, Poems, etc. Ask yourself which sources will allow you to find out enough information to write a good biography.
If you are choosing a figure that does not have a lot of available information online (your grandmother perhaps) considers doing an interview for information with the individual or people who knew them. You also could find sources for historical context. For example, if I was doing a biography of my grandmother who lived during the Great Depression, I may select Julia Blackwelder's Women of the Depression: Caste and Culture in San Antonio, 1929-1939. Even if my grandmother did not live in San Antonio, it would give me an idea of what women's lives were like in Texas during that time. Need Assignment Help?
At the beginning of your draft, please include a paragraph (3-5 sentences) justifying your source choices.
Formatting of sources in an academic style like MLA, Chicago, or APA
