PT2 - Individual Multimedia Presentation, Revisited

AP Seminar Performance Task 2: Individual Research-Based Essay and Presentation

Individual Multimedia Presentation (IMP) -> 6–8 minute presentation

Individual Multimedia Presentation (6–8 minutes)

Develop and prepare a multimedia presentation that will convey the argument from your final paper to an educated, non-expert audience.

Be selective about the information you choose for your presentation by focusing on key points you want your audience to understand.
Design your oral presentation with supporting visual media (e.g., presentation slides, a poster, a website), and consider audience, context, and purpose.
Prepare to engage your audience using appropriate strategies (e.g., eye contact, vocal variety, expressive gestures, movement).
Prepare notecards or an outline that you can quickly reference as you are speaking so that you can interact with supporting visuals and the audience.
Rehearse your presentation in order to refine your design and practice your delivery.
Check that you can do the presentation within the 6- to 8-minute time limit.
Deliver a 6- to 8-minute multimedia presentation in which you:
- Contextualize and identify the importance of your research question.
- Explain the connection between your research and your analysis of the stimulus materials.
- Deliver a well-organized argument that connects claims and evidence.
- Incorporate and synthesize relevant evidence from various perspectives to support your argument. Make sure you cite or attribute the evidence you use to support your claims (either orally or visually).
- Offer a plausible resolution(s), conclusion(s), and/or solution(s) based on evidence and consider the implications of any suggested solutions.
- Engage the audience with an effective and clearly organized presentation design that guides them through your argument.
- Engage the audience with effective techniques of delivery and performance.

In all written work, you must:

Acknowledge, attribute, and/or cite sources using in-text citations, endnotes or footnotes, and/or through bibliographic entry. You must avoid plagiarizing (see the attached AP Capstone Policy on Plagiarism and Fabrication and Falsification of Information).
