Ideas to make a TOK Presentation on "Plastic Surgery" interactive?

So I already have my TOK Presentation ready, which is based on the topic issue of 'Plastic Surgery', and I already have my knowledge issues, WoK's and AoK's.. etc. However, it seems like every person who presented their TOK presentation in my class made some interaction or made their presentation interactive, I have NO clue how to make a presentation interactive... I was going to go with the idea of "Can someone tell me what surgical procedures are the most common? Anyone?" but that would sound way too monotonous :(

 

Please I really need ideas to make a TOK presentation on 'Plastic Surgery' interactive, I'm literally out of time  :tears:

Weird. No one at my school has done any kind of interactive ToK presentation... ever. I mean, people can ask questions at the end, but that's it. (So I don't think you should worry too much about it, at least for your grade unless your teacher is requiring it)

 

But, if you insist, it is hard to tell what would be a good interactive choice given not knowing your presentation or argument. I don't know how to relate surgery to ToK, first of all, but I guess the thing I would do given how little I know would be ask if anyone has had a surgery before. Then, ask those people follow-up questions that relate (if you are talking about emotion as a WoK, ask a "How'd it make you feel?" kind of question). Use their spontaneous answers as evidence for whatever you're arguing.

This actually sort of depends on the real life situation that you are addressing, or even the KIs.
May be asking people directly if they have had surgery is too blunt? And I think you would have a few people going: "wth you asking me for?" lol

 

You could probably show a picture of the real life situation e.g. a picture of some fake-but-beautiful-ish-looking person and ask people if the perceive anything 'out of the ordinary.'

OR, if your real life situation is something like: man sues wife for getting plastic surgery, you could show a picture of this family and ask people if they know about this family.

If you want high presentation marks, don't think that you have to make it 'interactive', because it might backfire on you. Instead, project your voice, make eye contact and sound confident. (haha) But most importantly: Just put more focus on your content and the criteria you have to address!!!

Thank you for the replies. By the way, yeah, it is actually not necessary to make a TOK presentation interactive. It's just that everyone in my group made some sort of interaction, so I thought that would make my TOK presentation a little dull or boring. Also, I already have my real life situations and actually have a picture of "some fake-but-beautiful-ish-looking person", and that idea @whatislife mentioned is actually not a bad idea. I might consider it. But I was just making sure I had all of my questions answered. Thanks ! :)
