TOTAL

** You will also be presenting your character cube to the class. This will be a separate mark; it will count toward the speaking portion of your grade.

You will be required to hand in the jot notes that you collected while you researched your character. From those jot notes you will write a more complete, detailed description of your character. This is the part that will be read to the class. You WILL NOT read them your character cube. (The cube is intended to be a summary.)

Norse Mythology Character Cube Jot Notes

Jot notes are a way of recording information when you are doing research. You do not have to write in complete sentences. Write key words and enough information to get the basic idea.
