Performance Task & Classroom Simulation Preparation
(2025)

Performance Task:
● Semifinalists will have 60 minutes to complete a written performance task using
information and/or data from the peer-reviewed articles listed below. The
performance task prompt will be provided on the day of the semifinalist event.
● Your response to the performance task will be evaluated on:
o Appropriate synthesis and use of information and/or data,
o Overall organization and sophistication of thoughts,
o Documentation of in text citations for sources referenced.
Semifinalists are encouraged to bring annotations (highlighting, underlining, etc.) of each
of the articles below to the semifinalist event.
Note: Any semblance of a constructed response or summaries will not be allowed in the
performance task room.

Classroom Simulation:
● Semifinalists will participate in a group interview. Judges will guide discussion with
general and content specific questions (e.g. performance task response).
o The focus will be on each semifinalist’s analysis, listening, and responding
ability in a group environment.
● Semifinalists should be prepared to discuss their previous experiences in
agricultural science and any corresponding research, their current knowledge level,
and their expectations for a rigorous program of this nature.
Note: 4H, FFA competition, or any official uniform or dress is not necessary.

Both the performance task and classroom simulation are mandatory for consideration to
the summer program.

Semifinalists should anticipate being on-site for at least 2 hours.

The use of electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, projectors, etc.) is


prohibited during all parts of the interview process.
