To find the subject, you take the verb and
you ask who or what is doing the verb.
The sentence must have these three things:
It must express a complete thought.
It must have a noun or subject
It must have a verb

Work on note cards
Fifteen note cards are due on Monday, April 25th.
Example of how to do note cards for Ms. Bridges’ class:
Title of Book upper left corner Page
number Category* Your
name
Quotation:
Here
you copy verbatim the quotation or piece of information you
have
discovered in your books, websites, encyclopedia, journals or documentaries.
Analysis:
Here
you explain in your own words the quotation, or analyze it
or
show why the information is important.
*The category refers to what subject or topic the quotation
or information (which you discovered in your research) goes under. For example,
if you have a quotation or information about the birth of Zeus then you would
put “Birth” on the top line where you see in the example above the word “Category”.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example:
D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths page
14 The
Golden Age Anselmo
Ko
Quotation:
“Cronus
was now the lord of the universe. He sat on the highest mountain and ruled over
heaven and earth with a firm hand. The other gods
obeyed his will and early man
worshiped him. This was man’s Golden Age. Men lived happily and in peace with
the gods and each other. They did not kill and they had no locks on their
doors, for theft had not yet been invented.”
Analysis:
According
to D’Aulaire in the Book of Greek Myths, the
age during which Cronus ruled was the Golden Age for humanity. Under his strong
and firm rule, humans and the gods
lived in harmony. People lived in peace and security for there were no murders
and no stealing. This implies that the reason for such happiness and peace was
that there was a very strong and firm ruler in place who had strong rules which
were followed by both people and other gods.
Please keep in mind that the
following information is important and should be included in your research,
your note cards, and in the final product, your research paper.
When you are doing your research,
please include information about:
The background of the god, or the
hero, or the monster, or the legend
The background includes:
The
birth
The
family
The
origins (of the legend, the monster, or the hero)
The god’s area of power:
The
areas over which the gods rule
(example: Poseidon rules over the
water, horses,
earthquakes, etc.)
The god’s lovers
The god’s friends
The god’s enemies
Two stories which show the god’s
power, personality
The importance or significance of
the god
This structure may also be used in
organizing your paper.
Work on your bibliography cards.
Your five bibliography cards will be due tomorrow.
