Next, you’re going to research the author. Write down notes that target specific facts about Cisneros in the box below. Your notes should be helpful in understanding her biases, experiences, and knowledge. List three well-developed ideas as opposed to three simple facts in the light blue area of the box (that will be four ideas including my sample for an “A” grade). Be sure you are not copying and pasting from a website and that your words are your own. Cite your sources by putting the author’s last name or the title of the website if there is not an author. I have an example as a model.

She writes all different styles of pieces most of which are for pre-teens and teens, but she also writes for adults. She has won a lot of different writing awards throughout her life (Cisnero).
