Now that we have read Othello as a class, we are going to be creating a character map. The map will show how every character in the story is related. You have the option of using Inspiration software in class on the computers or completing this on poster board.
 * Project In Class Activity: Creating a Character Map**


 * Project Requirements:**
 * 1) The map must have __at least__ 10 characters labeled with their full name.
 * 2) A picture to represent the character.
 * 3) A short description of who the character is.
 * -If you are using Inspiration you can draw this out in the program or find a picture using the Internet by cutting and pasting.
 * -If you are using poster board then you can use colored pencils, markers, and/or crayons.
 * 1) A label and an arrow drawn to each character telling how each one is related.
 * 2) Check your spelling and grammar before you hand this in.
 * 3) Color & Creativity! Have fun and be as original and creative as possible.
 * For example: Othello→ Loves and later kills→Desdemona OR Desdemona→married to →Othello
