Infographic
Drawing on comprehensive interviews, as well as insight from noted psychologists and youth experts, journalist Peggy Orenstein explores the secret life of 21st century American teen boys in Boys & Sex. She explores often taboo subjects, ranging from consent to sexual identity to pornography. By way of an infographic, you will visually summarize one chapter, choosing from chapters 2-8 only. Cite specific evidence solely from Boys & Sex.
Guidelines:- Use the subheading to state your thesis (which, in turn, is supported by the contents of your infographic)
- Space will be limited, so be thoughtful about which aspects of the chapter to highlight
- Your chapter's subject matter should dictate your infographic’s design and style
- Stay within the parameters of Boys & Sex
Due:
- Tue 11.23 (Have Draft 1 ready to share in class)
- Thu 12.2 (Closing date; Submit via Canvas)
