SEMINAR?   CAPSTONE?  \n[Collegeboard.org](Collegeboard.org)  \nPERFORMANCE TASKS  \nDuring the AP Seminar Course, you will complete the following performance assessments: two through-course performance tasks and an end-ofcourse exam, while adhering to AP College Board policies to ensure the validation of your scores. Both performance tasks will be completed during the second semester.  \nPERFORMANCE TASK 1: TEAM PROJECT AND PRESENTATION  \nStudents work collaboratively with a team to identify, investigate, analyze, and evaluate areal-world or academic problem or issue; consider and evaluate alternatives or options; propose one or more solutions or resolutions; and present and defend the argument for their solutions through a multimedia presentation.  \nPERFORMANCE TASK 1: TEAM PROJECT AND PRESENTATION  \nStudents work in teams of 4 or 5 to identify, investigate, and analyze an academic or real-world problem or issue.  \nEach team designs and/or considers options and evaluates alternatives; develops a multimedia presentation to present the argument for their proposed solution or resolution; and provides a defense to questions posed by the teacher.  \nPERFORMANCE TASK 1: TEAM PROJECT AND PRESENTATION  \n􀁸 Individual Research Report (1,200 words): Internally Scored, Externally Validated  \n􀁸 Team Multimedia Presentation and Defense (8-10 minutes, plus defense questions): Internally Scored  \nWeight: 20% of AP Seminar score  \nWe will complete a “mock” Performance Task 1 during first semester. Your final Performance Task 1 will be due in early February.  \nPERFORMANCE TASK 2:  \nINDIVIDUAL RESEARCHBASED ESSAY AND PRESENTATION  \nStudents work independently to identify a research question based on provided stimulus material; research the issue; analyze, evaluate, and select evidence to develop an argument; present and defend a conclusion; and produce a multimedia presentation to be delivered to their peers.  \nPERFORMANCE TASK 2:  \nINDIVIDUAL RESEARCHBASED ESSAY AND PRESENTATION  \nThe College Board’s AP Program will annually release crosscurricular source materials (texts) representing a range of perspectives focused on a single theme or topic. Students use these texts to identify a research question of their own; conduct research; analyze, evaluate, and select evidence to develop an argument; and present and defend their conclusions. The final paper must refer to and incorporate at least one of the provided sources.  \nPERFORMANCE TASK 2:  \nINDIVIDUAL RESEARCHBASED ESSAY AND PRESENTATION  \n• Individual Written Argument (2,000 words): internally scored, externally validated  \n• Individual Multimedia Presentation (6-8 minutes):  \ninternally scored  \n• Oral Defense (two questions from the teacher): internally  \nscored  \nWeight: 35% of AP Seminar score","cbCaiadgSxqo0GnA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiadgSxqo0GnA","pdf",529502,14,"English","# Performance Tasks\n## Performance Task 1: Team Project and Presentation\n## Performance Task 2: Individual Research-Based Essay and Presentation","[{\"question\":\"What are the two through-course performance tasks in AP Seminar?\",\"answer\":\"AP Seminar includes Performance Task 1 (team project and presentation) and Performance Task 2 (individual research-based essay and presentation).
