Challenge your confirmation bias like Myles suggests in the video! Choose an issue you feel strongly about and create an infographic showing BOTH the pro and con of the issue. Analyze both sides to make sure you really understand what the other side thinks.

Web tools for making Infographics -- Canva, Piktochart, Google Drawings
