The purpose is to find one or a couple of proposed solutions or resolutions. This includes exploring differing perspectives, limitations, and implications. This is followed by defense questions.  \n■ For DQs, you’ll be asked how your teammate’s research plays a role in your final project  \n■ Example Oral DQs:  \n[https://bayonetenglish.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/ap-seminar-tmp-oral](https://bayonetenglish.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/ap-seminar-tmp-oral)defense-questions.pdf  \n○ A breakdown of the lenses:  \n■  Cultural/Social: how the topic relates to people, groups of people, and their cultural backgrounds and identities  \n■ Artistic/Philosophical: how the topic relates to abstract ideas, any artistic meaning behind the composition  \n■  Ethical: how the topic can be explored at a moral level consider human rights, laws, and ethical frameworks relevant to the society studied  \n■  Political/Historical: how the topic explores an issue’s effect on, or how it was affected by, government decisions  \n■  Futuristic: how the topic relates to the implications of this issue in the future and possible outcomes (whether positive or negative) due to it  \n■  Environmental: how the topic relates to environmental issues and effects on plants, animals, humans, and the different dynamics of an ecosystem  \n■  Economic: how the topic relates to the product market, price levels, inflation, or other economic topics. General economic impact and/or views of economists on the issue  \n■  Scientific: how the topic relates to scientific investigations, research, and discoveries  \nPerformance Task 2 (35% of final AP score)  \n● IWA: Individual Written Argument (70% of the 35%)  \n○ Based on stimulus sources given by the ","cbCaidVZmNdlJfWv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidVZmNdlJfWv","pdf",110070,"English","# What is AP Seminar?\n# What media would you interpret in AP Seminar?\n# Acronyms of AP Seminar\n## Performance Task 1 (20%)\n## Performance Task 2 (35%)\n## End of Course Exam (45%)","[{\"question\":\"What skills does AP Seminar focus on developing?\",\"answer\":\"AP Seminar focuses on synthesizing varying ideas by analyzing reliable sources, writing research papers in both team and individual formats, and presenting sources and a main problem with a proposed solution.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of media can be used or interpreted in AP Seminar?\",\"answer\":\"Students interpret articles, research studies, professionally published writings, speeches, music, art, broadcasts, and personal accounts, with an emphasis that all media types must be reliable.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main components of AP Seminar performance tasks and exams?\",\"answer\":\"Performance Task 1 includes the Individual Research Report and Team Multimedia Presentation.
