Grade 6 · Reading · Lesson 24

Create a fact sheet with citations

A fact sheet is a concise, organized document that presents key information about a topic. Unlike an essay, it uses headings, short paragraphs, and bullet points so a reader can find facts quickly. The most important rule when writing a fact sheet is that every fact must be cited — you must show where the information came from. Without a citation, a fact is just a claim.
