Infographic

Drawing on comprehensive interviews, as well as insight from noted psychologists and youth experts, journalist Peggy Orenstein explores the secret life of 21^st 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

Infographics are most easily utilized in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote (or a comparable program, such as Canva). Online infographic makers are also an option, but those often cost money. Additionally, if you are experienced in them, you may also use Photoshop or Illustrator, though it is by no means required.
