When you use information from a book or website, it's important to tell where you got it. This is called 'citing your sources'.
What is Citing Sources?
Why We Cite Sources
- Shows where you learned your facts
- Gives credit to the author
- Helps readers trust your information
When you use facts from a book or a website in your writing, you must tell your audience where you found that information. This process of giving credit to the original author is called citing your source.
💡 Think of it like giving a 'thank you' to the person who wrote the facts you used.
