Please create an interactive presentation for my sociology class. I have talked about family structures so i want to do a little refresher with that with special focus on polygamy. i want it to be interactive so there should be some discussion questions where students can give their opinions, a scenario and at the end it would be nice to have a role play where they have to act out some information.
