Family Summative Assessment

Create a presentation in which you explain two of the family types we discussed in class.

You also have to pick 3 of the following questions / tasks and explain them explicitly in your
presentation. You can’t pick that question / task if it belongs to the description of your two
family types.

• What is the difference between horizontally and vertically extended?

• Describe the term fertility rate. And are there certain trends?
• Describe the term divorce rate.
• Describe a type of dysfunctional family in detail.
• Why do some couples have a marital breakdown and don’t get divorced?
