Barb...will you be putting an overhang on the sides...?
If so, you will need to cut out a "bird's mouth" in the part of the rafter where it intersects with the wall. The bird's mouth will sit on the upper horizontal 2-by and then the rafter gets toe-nailed.
Take a look at this site for all the particulars...angles, lengths, overhang, bird's mouth, etc... It also has a calculator for all the components for different style roofs.

Good luck...
