Sociology
Secondary Deviance Project
Having learned about types of deviance, you will now complete a secondary deviant case study to show your understanding of the concepts from this unit. You will choose one secondary deviant and complete a PowerPoint or sway presentation.
Each portion of your project must be fully developed. As a general rule this should require at least five sentences for each section. Each section will be located on a separate slide in the presentation.  
Topic Slides = 45 total points; explained in section instructions
Works Cited = 4 points (four entries required on final slide)
Graphics = 5 points (10 images worth 1/2 point each)
Title Slide = 2 points (title, name, class period)
Total = 56 points

Part 2: Background

Especially pay attention to any red flags that may signal future problems. Red flags could include examples of how they were socialized as children or any early trouble they got into. DO NOT discuss their secondary deviant behavior (the one that made them famous) in this section.
