b44652cfa7a8 | B43F583ECE54 | Loosing a sports game does not feel good but its something every one has experienced. Although not everyone knows how to handle losing. When you are taught from a young age how to be resilient and bounce back from a lose, it will be much easier to handle those losses as an adult. Playing a sport also requires team work, you have to work with your team to score a goal. Learning how to communicate with your team mates is very similar to communication in the work place. | Evidence | Effective |
340cf0c7a3ad | B43F583ECE54 | Being on the student council is all about communicating with your peers. | Claim | Effective |
73b4b6d1854d | B43F583ECE54 | If this communicating is not done properly or clearly it will be very hard to get work done. When you get a job as an adult clear communication will be mandatory. If you do not communicate properly, someone could end up doing something differently then you intended. In student council, students will learn how to communicate with their peers. By doing this, communication as adults will be much easier. Even in disagreements your communication will be essential. | Evidence | Adequate |

| Evidence | Adequate |
8e5c5a55f0eb | B43F583ECE54 | School offering a variety of mandatory extracurricular actives is a great idea. This way students can learn important life lessons while doing something they enjoy. These actives teach children important lessons from knowing how to handle losing, communication with others, and even how to respectfully settle an argument. Being exposed to this type of activity from a young age will ensure great success in later years of life. | Concluding Statement | Effective |

8a26f6c3ed2d | B45B48157399 | My Third reason why schools should use facial action coding because incase of a fight. People might be angry and might take there anger away on someone else | Claim | Adequate |
5270de464117 | B45B48157399 | it could manage to start a fight that's why you can check on them and ask why are they angry and calm them down. You never know if that could happen so always be prepared. | Evidence | Adequate |
12c64d9959e0 | B460B20EE678 | What is the closest planet to Earth? The Evening Star give us the brightest light. The closest planet to Earth is Venus. As human studies, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. Humans study more and more about Venus everyday. | Lead | Adequate |
b352cdc4ea3d | B460B20EE678 | The Evening Star give us the brightest light because it's too close to the Earth. Venus has more power of light than other planet. Mercury is closer to the sun but Venus can get more power than Mercury. Venus has has more power to gets the hotness. Venus is vantage point of Earth. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7fa781669713 | B460B20EE678 | The author says, "Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely," (paragraph 1). | Claim | Adequate |
f957f9a20584 | B460B20EE678 |
As human studies, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. As humans study, Venus's atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our town. When Venus has low power of hotness, the weather on Earth has changed. The author said, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus," (paragraph 3). | Evidence | Ineffective |

4176e7eb665a | B460B20EE678 | Today, we're using computers, cell phone or tablat with solar. The author says, "By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces," (paragraph 7). Humans are still working on Venus to get more powers, even though we got lots of power from Venus already. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7fe64080e1ca | B460B20EE678 | Humans didn't want Venus's power at first because it's too hot and now, they want it because it's safe.

1b1bd95a7a03 | B471DC1A142D | honestly to me i think this is outrageous for us to do that. there is no way that we can all just driving cars either we just have to find a better way to fuel up the car without hurtung the enviorment. and when that one day come we would stop this worldwide problem. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
56dec579cb8f | B4C4BABFB290 | Recently the principle made a big change to our school. He decided that all students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. After I heard about this, I started thinking of how this can impact our school. Some students might disagree with this new change, but I actually agree with the principle's decision. There might be some minor ways on how this can effect students, however, I think this could be a great way to improve students mental health. | Lead | Effective |
2e30c25c9acd | B4C4BABFB290 | Students should at least participate in one extracurricular activity | Position | Adequate |
8a8a95c63e97 | B4C4BABFB290 | this could make students more productive, | Claim | Effective |

f7840b0109a4 | B4C4BABFB290 | There are many students who can get lazy when they come home from school. Most of the time, I can be one of those students. Usually when I come home after school, I always get the urge to jump on my bed and just watch videos on my phone. When I get on my phone, I can get so invested in it, that I don't even realize I have a lot of homework assignments to do.
Being lazy is just unhealthy for your body and mental health. Most students probably have been in the same situation as me. Although, if those students were to be in a extracurricular activity, they would be more productive. For example, an activity like playing soccer can help someone's brain/and body to be more active. Another example would be participating in any art-related activity, which can help students think more creatively. Doing any extracurricular activity would be way better than to sit down and watch on a device. | Evidence | Effective |
22c78180cf1d | B4C4BABFB290 | There are some students who might not have any activity or hobby they're passionate in. If those students had to take an extracurricular activity, they would have a more chance of finding something they like. Some students might even end up liking an activity they never thought they would. Every school gives many options in extracurricular activities. If a student tries out an activity and they don't like it, they can always try a different one. Also, another benefit in finding a activity you like, is getting a lead to a career you might want to have in the future. It's always good to know what you're passionate in, so you can have more options for future careers. | Evidence | Adequate |
cfaa4e323e1f | B4C4BABFB290 | Socializing and making friends is important for anyone's mental health. Friends can be supporting and a helping hand at any time. The friends you make can also build a strong character in you. If you join an extracurricular activity that you really like, it can be easier to make friends because they will have the same interest as you. Because of the similar interests, the friends you make through an activity can be more closer than the friends you make in class. Making friends gets you to know other people in your school, and it's better to know more people so you can feel more comfortable at school. | Evidence | Effective |
641ccf659bd6 | B4C4BABFB290 | There may be other ways that extracurricular activities can benefit students, but the reasons I thought of were the most important to me. With extracurricular activities students can be more productive, find an activity they might be passionate in, and make new friends. Also, extracurricular activities can play a important role in life by leading you to a career. For the students who don't agree in partaking in any activity, just keep in mind that It's always better to try new activities because you might end up liking it! | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
acbf3174cdde | B4CB3063482A | What would you do if you saw what NASA saw on Mars in 1976? In 1976,
NASAs Viking 1 spacecraft was circling Mars, snapping photos of a possible landing site for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. Eventully, scientists figured out that it was possibly just another Martian mesa. | Lead | Adequate |
ae215caf3549 | B4CB3063482A | A few days later NASA revealed the image for everyone to see. The caption said a huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. | Evidence | Adequate |
6e90dc5d865b | B4CB3063482A | This said that the formation wasn't a human head but just a oddly shaped land form. | Claim | Adequate |

c6c47b670f11 | B4CB3063482A | The Face on Mars formed to be a natural land form, so scientists told the people that there was no alien life form and that they were safe from harm. | Position | Adequate |

Nasa is working on the dangerous of venus so we have to read more about it. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
cf066de1e091 | B5113469D13C | The unmasked face of mars had remained a mystery to others, so researchers have been trying to uncover what the face of Mars actually meant | Lead | Adequate |
61416a0d6efe | B5113469D13C | Some say that aliens made it, but others said that it is a landform | Position | Ineffective |
840ce4b96982 | B5113469D13C | When NASA discovered a shadowy likeness that almost resembled a face, Mars made or evelated a new Landform that resembled a face. The face of Mars may have been popular, but everone in the world was oblivious, yet so indesicive about what Mars really showed other than a face. Conspiracy theorists have no proof that Alien life form existed in Mars. "We felt this was important to taxpayers." No alien mounument is proven but a new landform spouted into place which resembled a face. | Evidence | Adequate |
76aa3946e04f | B5113469D13C | Not every researcher or anyone was satisfied | Claim | Adequate |
6ee3fb9722c7 | B5113469D13C | the face of Mars has been proven either a mystery or scientists are still researching about how the landform looked like a face. Never the less, after a few years later, Malin's team shot a photo that was extraordinary using the maximum resolution. | Evidence | Adequate |
8040cb893506 | B5113469D13C | The pixels showed clear hard proof, in the one 2001 image spans that are 1.56 meters,and compared 43 meters per pixel in the best and original 11976 photo | Claim | Adequate |
a56309b1ed4d | B5113469D13C | Not everyone can agree that the face of Mars is just a landform or alien life; thus the face or landform still remained as an anonomys fact of mystery. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
a93f6ccf2ae9 | B51E027B51AF | In 1976 Viking 1 snapped a photo of Mars. Viking 1 spotted a shadowy likeness of a human face. Many people think it was created by the life on Mars. Many people think that it is just a natural landform. There was no alien creation after all. | Lead | Adequate |
aea34c4b77ea | B51E027B51AF | this is just a natural landform created on Mars.
| Position | Adequate |
8392756b4c0b | B51E027B51AF | First, Michael Malin and his MOC took a picture of the "face" and claimed it to be just a natural landform. | Claim | Adequate |
470d53074e67 | B51E027B51AF | The picture was more clear than the orginal 1976 photograph. When NASA got a good shot at the "face" they rused out there to the Red planet to get a good shot. Jim Garvin said, "We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a god shot at it." And it was revealed that it is a natural landmark.
| Evidence | Adequate |
48692ae47c28 | B51E027B51AF | On April 8th, 2001 Cydonia became cloudless. And it was easy for NASA to see the mysterious face. | Claim | Adequate |
87b61055fb0c | B51E027B51AF | NASA took a picture "3 times bigger than the pixel size." So if there was an object like a airplane on the surface of Mars, you would be able to see what the object was. Turns out that the picture showed a butte or mesa.
| Evidence | Adequate |
90e448140cf7 | B51E027B51AF | "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River of Idaho," says Garvin. The mysterious face turned out to be a butte. Not a Alien artifact. Each pixel in the 2001 photo spans 1.56 meters. compared to 43 meters per pixel in the Viking 1 photo. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars," said Garvin. | Evidence | Adequate |
abf95d3592e6 | B51E027B51AF | NASA is apart of the Government. The Government lies all the time. | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
42118f2f2e74 | B51E027B51AF | So that kinda makes people think that NASA is lying about the "Face" being a natural landmark. The Government and NASA are keeping secrets in Area 51. So they must be keeping this whole "Face" thing secret too. That it's not a butte or a mesa. But that it was created by life on Mars. | Evidence | Ineffective |
6164b316ac0c | B51E027B51AF | In conclusion, NASA still hasn't prooved that there is life in Space. But does this "Face" landmark proove that there is? We just have to wait and find out. This is a story that has been going around for decades. And it is still unsolved. NASA recently found ice caps on other planets. And claimed that there was water on Mars but it evaporated, casusing the huge valleys and canyons on Mars. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
d2e24a44b76d | B57C860BE032 | I will be trying to convince the population to beleive that the face's on Mars are natural landforms. | Position | Adequate |
d484dd8b2f43 | B57C860BE032 | Now i will be talking about face one. this face is there in 1976. To my personal vision the face is still sorte of developing, or the picture is really blury. Although it's developing or blury you can still seea face. NASA claim's for it to look or be visualized as a viking. | Evidence | Adequate |
90e455ded6c8 | B57C860BE032 | These face's do look like natural landforf's. | Claim | Adequate |
39f1e9e91412 | B57C860BE032 | They look like wind or a storm formed them. In face one it look's like there is alot of wind when NASA took the picture. In face two it kinda revels a little more . What im thinking is there had to have been a storm or strong wind for face one to be so blury. | Evidence | Adequate |
57daedf81efa | B57C860BE032 | These face's seem as if they had alot of time to form. Can that mean there natural. | Claim | Ineffective |
5a3b4f472678 | B57C860BE032 | Think about this if these structure's were man made or alein made they wouldn't look like this | Claim | Ineffective |
bf934b170145 | B57C860BE032 | so what is that telling us. Another reason is if it was man made it would be much smaller. These faces have to be natural landforms. Also to my understanding NASA has been watching the faces for a while. | Evidence | Ineffective |
b004ce2cb95d | B57C860BE032 | Then in picture three it is just totaly blown over. It seem's as if wind just keept blowing over then time and time agian. | Evidence | Ineffective |
43420378f18e | B57C860BE032 | If it was man made this would not have happend they would have kept it clean.
| Claim | Ineffective |
a1595a57895d | B57C860BE032 | Although this is my oppinion many other's agree with what im am trying to argue. I also agree that these are natural land form's and are soon going to be wiped away. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
3c8ac41920ee | B5A5CFDCE29E | Some schools require students to complete projects to assure they continue learning during break. Should these projects be teacher-designed or student-designed? | Lead | Ineffective |
d284d8152d8c | B5A5CFDCE29E | I think these projects should be teacher-designed because in my opinion it would be better and it would actually help them more. | Position | Adequate |
d57c98b8d93f | B5A5CFDCE29E | By the teacher designing it, it means she/he is giving them the information on what they should be working on. By them giving the information students can or will find it easy to do and finish them fast so they can have the rest of the summer for them. | Evidence | Adequate |
20622006e396 | B5A5CFDCE29E | Summer projects designed by teachers in my opinion it would help students to learn more and not forget what they have learned about. | Claim | Adequate |
db2a40b8226b | B5A5CFDCE29E | Teachers who designed these projects should give each student to work on a target they have struggle with or did not understand. Teachers should designed summer projects that could be work with other people, they should make it fun. Summer projects should be fun but yet the students can still be learning. Projects do not have to be boring all the time. They should make it about getting up,doing some movements. When students are doing these projects they should be walking, running, laughing, talking, and working with one another. If teachers make these summer projects boring students may want to do them. Is also their summer where they have fun, where they go to vacations with their families, where they go to the pool, the beach. Summer is basically their free time, their free month, no school. | Evidence | Adequate |
7533acac41a8 | B5A5CFDCE29E | By assigning these projects to students is going to help them to not forget the information they learned about and also to learn new information. | Claim | Adequate |
96e527b46fd8 | B5A5CFDCE29E | For example, when I go to summer break or any other break and come back to school after that break or whatever break it would be I would and still not remember a thing, all the information I learned about would be gone yeah there used to be some stuff that I still will remember but most of it will be gone. In math class we would start a target; when the teacher would be teaching us a target she will be like "You guys should know this information already from last year". In my head I would be like "uhhhh.. no,no,no ma'am I do not remember this; how was I going to remember this!". I would honestly not like having work over the summer because for me summer should be school free and homework free, eventhough; I think is really helpful but I do not think is for me. If I ever get to do something like that I think I would do it but if it brings something fun for example, the ones that do most projects could win something, they should make it exciting. | Evidence | Adequate |
9de6ee0e0919 | B5A5CFDCE29E | Summer projects, yes absolutely they can be really helpful. These projects can help students a lot. These projects can help students by remembering things they have learned about, also by learning and gathering new information in their heads. By making these projects fun of course students would love to do them. Teachers do not give students something boring to learn about because they are not going to do it. By making it boring students would get bored fast. So teachers make these summer projects fun. I really think these projects would be more helpful being teacher-designed. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
22b15319884a | B5CA9C10711C | As the end of the school year approaches, I began to grow with excitement. Finally, I have a break from the stressful school work. However, as I thought I would be free from the chains, I am held back once again as teachers began to assign tedious summer project. Tired and with my strong desires of a break, I waited till the last couple weeks of summer before starting on the time consuming project. Recently, an argument has risen about whether summer projects should be student deigned or teacher designed. People who believe that the projects should be student designed may argue that student designed projects would increase the percentage of participation on these projects. Others, who believed that it should be teacher designed, argue back that the knowledge teachers have on the curriculum allows the projects to be truly designed for its main intention | Lead | Effective |
3d8fba08695f | B5CA9C10711C | Teachers should be designing these summer project | Position | Adequate |

2ecc14f6eff8 | B5CA9C10711C | Teachers are well equipped with the knowledge of the future curriculum, thus they have the ability to adjust their lesson plans to help assist their students for the upcoming years. | Claim | Effective |
16b5d8c31cda | B5CA9C10711C | Seen by many students, lessons or skills learned in the previous school year are used in the present school year. For example, math facts, such as addition and subtraction, are constantly being referred to in all math courses. Acknowledging this reality, teachers would try to shift their lesson plans around for the purpose of trying to strengthen their students ability to understand such skills. Similar theory is applied to the designing of summer projects. Teachers, with the knowledge of what is expected in the next couple courses of a students life, would be able to shape projects into helping the students prepare for the upcoming school year. | Evidence | Effective |
b9d04b3efb5a | B5CA9C10711C | People who believed that the summer projects should be student designed may argue that student designed projects will encourage for more participation, due to the fact that these projects will have a more simple design and be more easier to understand. | Counterclaim | Effective |
fe14e12be5fd | B5CA9C10711C | However, lowering the difficulty of a project doesn't cause a dramatic shift in student participation. As seen in several classrooms, in regards to homework, regardless of the difficulty in the assignment, many student willingly choose to not complete their assignment. Therefore, attendance or participation is an irrelevant factor when designing these projects. | Rebuttal | Effective |
b3b88d28bbdb | B5CA9C10711C | Having a easier summer project not only doesn't shift the percentage of participation, but also causes a strain in the development or knowledge of the student over the summer. | Claim | Effective |
dbdf572fdfb7 | B5CA9C10711C | Almost all teachers have witnessed students who refuse to complete homework, thus, they understand that lowering the difficulty would not change participation.

7a50f23ed2d1 | B5CA9C10711C | Summer projects should be designed by teachers because teachers have understanding about future curriculum and understanding about the actions of a typical student. One of the main goals of a teacher is to assist students or help students succeed in life. Therefore, logically, everything a teacher does is to benefit the students. Teachers, unbiased about the emotions of a student, will challenge their students into achieving high goals. In their best efforts, teachers would try to assist their students in trying to acquire beneficial skills. Teachers understand that some students will try to challenge authority by refusing to complete assignment, instead of signing in defeat, they will persistent in their teaching methods because they understand that defeat wouldn't help the student. Thus, teachers should have the opportunity to design summer projects because they are guaranteed to have design projects that benefit students. Many successful businessmen, doctors, or scientists, credit their success to teachers. The profession of teachers have existed for many generations and have been known as the source of many successful people's success. Therefore, their ability to create a summer project should not be questioned. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
