Students are frequently asked to complete a bibliography following the PUSD Writing with Style manual. This also has other information about writing that is very useful. Students will find lots of good information about authors by typing in the name of the author selected. Other sources are http://teacher.scholastic.com/read/all-about-authors.htm site and sites about children's authors from the University of Calgary and James Madison University in Virginia.
