9cd5a184791f | BA71F335957F | Venus is called the "twin" planet to Earth because it is the closet planet to Earth in terms of density and size.(paragraph 2)Venus goes around the sun in different speeds compared to Earth and the other planets. On paragraph 3, the author tells us a little bit about what Venus is like for example the atmospher is almost 97% carbon dioxide. On the planet's surface, the tempature averages 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospher pressure is 90 times greater than what we experiecne on Earth today. The author also tells us that "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun unlike Venus and earth and every other planet that revolves around the sun in our solar system.(paragraph 3) The author on paragraph 4 talks about what is living or on the planet Venus. For examplse, "the planet has surface of rocky sediment and includes familar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." (paragraph 4) NASA has sent people into space and hase gone to Venus and to study the planet. | Evidence | Ineffective |
ed4969ee5b83 | BA71F335957F | Studying Venus does have dangers things that can go wrong but the travels we have should not be able to effect on how we study our planets today or in the future. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

2023a38815f4 | BA8BE010BFC6 | It's something that he's probably always been into in his life! There weremany facts in there i had no idea about. It was just interesting to read about how it was so much different then what is on Earth then it was on Venus. Venus is 90 degrees more hot then what it is here. In that case the heat up there is definaly more powerful then what it is on earth. The author was testing many of different kinda examples to test them. The author has put everything in the right order so that it easyer to understand how it's going. | Evidence | Adequate |
6e355b9c1c5c | BA8BE010BFC6 | This planet is more so off by it's so that its not so close to I think it would be interesting to read more of his books to see if he's that intot it with those too or it's just that one book that they have! | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
2320ced4332b | BAC30ACCEEFF | "Making Mona Lisa Smile" is about how a computer can detect emotions from a picture or person. | Position | Ineffective |
783b2b9d5df5 | BAC30ACCEEFF | In this passage, the author explains how this new software is able to detect emotions. | Claim | Ineffective |
1ab166be620b | BAC30ACCEEFF | "New software has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving emotions of others." This new software is called Facial Action Coding System. The passage states, "This new software, the Facial Action Coding System, has promising applications for a variety of industries." The software detected in the Mona Lisa painting that she is "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." | Evidence | Adequate |
83a4c40f7909 | BAC30ACCEEFF | There are specific steps on how this software works. | Claim | Ineffective |
94af585dbbc7 | BAC30ACCEEFF | "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face." The software detects emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal." Most people can tell how their friend is feeling based on their facial expression. The passage says," By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions." | Evidence | Adequate |
2f90ae625fc7 | BAC30ACCEEFF | The new technology is surprising. | Claim | Ineffective |
56d5c3386d2d | BAC30ACCEEFF | The text states, "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." New technology is able to detect human emotions, even when the person is hiding them. " To an expert, faces do not lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity is not being truthful." The computer software can detect human emotions from paintings, picture, and in person. | Evidence | Ineffective |

70c71254a47d | BAC5264E2DCE | No student likes doing work over the summer, so if they're choosing their own topic it would get them to actually enjoy learning about it. Even during the school year most students hate doing projects because the teacher assigns mostly boring projects, that no one wants to do. When they're completing the project they can set up how they're going to present it to. If your school did this, what would you prefer to do? | Evidence | Adequate |
204e1cabfbdf | BAC5264E2DCE | If the students choose the topic they complete a project on, they will actually think about it and get it done. | Claim | Adequate |
55f1379a84e4 | BAC5264E2DCE | They can use their creative side of their brain and come up with a very educational but exciting project idea. They can ask they're friends and family to help. They can also use the internet if they don't find enough real life and personal resources. | Evidence | Ineffective |

0acddfebb997 | BAC5264E2DCE | They can ask their parents to go on a vacation or vacations to any area specific to learn about it. When they're in the area they could go on tours of the city or country they're in. They can go see the landscape and learn about the past/history, especially if it's a historical spot. | Evidence | Adequate |
aed5ec111781 | BAC5264E2DCE | students should be the ones who get to choose what their educational projects are going to be about over their summer break. If they create the topic they will actually get it done knowing that their school didn't give them a boring topic to learn about. They can also go on many crazy and exciting adventures to tour and get information on anything they need. Most importantly they need to have fun because summer is about having the time of your life, but they can also learn about fun and educational topics. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

Although teacher-designed summer project would be more academically challenging for the students, | Counterclaim | Adequate |
18811e0a4c7d | BB4B5D896E96 | students are more likely to understand how to do the project if they are able to design it. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
f2fb9ba045d4 | BB4B5D896E96 | For example, when my sister was in tenth grade she did not do her summer project because the teacher did not explain it well and she didn't understand how to do it. This shows that if summer projects were student designed, students would have a better understanding on how to do the project. | Evidence | Adequate |
34f8b3e4288b | BB4B5D896E96 | a student-designed summer project would be less work for the teachers | Claim | Adequate |
89f8168876af | BB4B5D896E96 | For example, my ninth grade English teacher was so focused on preparing us for our final that she didn't have enough time to design a summer project. This shows that if students were to design their own summer projects, teachers would have less work and more time to focus on grading and teaching. | Evidence | Adequate |
b1097d43c1da | BB4B5D896E96 | if students could design their summer project there would be a higher chance of them doing the project | Claim | Adequate |
0a3294843ece | BB4B5D896E96 | For example, if a teacher made a summer project about researching China but some students prefer to research about Rome, students wouldn't want to do the project because they aren't interested in China. This shows that if students were to design their own project they would make it around their interests and would more likely do the project as well as enjoy it. | Evidence | Adequate |
35bd09944511 | BB4B5D896E96 | I encourage you to write a letter to your local school board and inform them on why summer projects should be student-designed. Summer projects should be student-designed because students would more likely understand how to do the project, it would be less work for the teachers, and there would be a higher chance of students doing the project. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
59dc1a345eac | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | In young adult life, such as the high school years, many students lack responsibility. This is because society does not put enough trust in teenagers to make their own choices and decisions; thus, stereotyping a whole generation with negative connotations. | Lead | Adequate |
87cca221c44f | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | the summer projects should be student designed | Position | Adequate |
1f4709bce10f | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | to help better their own generations reputation | Claim | Effective |
db9052b4bf33 | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | develop valuable life skills. | Claim | Effective |
2b61755c7527 | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | Many student grow up always being told what to do and how to do it. This does not allow for any creativity or original thoughts to be generated all by ones self. For example, when I was a child, my parents would lay out clothes each morning for me to wear to school. Not only did this limit my creativity, it also limited my self identity because I was unable to express myself in what clothes I wear. This so called favor that my parents would do for me caused me to never learn how to dress myself in a reasonable fashion for the appropriate setting. Just like how the students will never know how to design their own projects if the teachers do not put any faith in the students for just this one summer. The teachers will be able to see a students best representation of his or hers creativity and level of learning because they will have something to prove to society. To show everyone that they are able to do things on their own or independently | Evidence | Effective |
cd4e917d3df2 | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | The students need to have the teachers and society's trust to exceed what is expected of them because society will never know what these students are capable of if they are never given an opportunity to prove themselves. This will better the generations reputation if done correctly.
| Claim | Effective |
5f0cec7a6ad1 | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | These students need to be prepared for college and the real world outside of school, such as the work force. For example, if a child wanted to play soccer you would not just sit them in front of a television and watch soccer games. This might be a good way to teach them the general idea of what soccer is but they will never be able to learn the skills that are necessary in the game. That child will never learn how to pass, shoot, kick, or even have the social skills to communicate with his team mates. This goes the same for any other activity. The teachers in this school are treating there students just like this child. If they just give them the summer project and tell them to complete it they will never learn the skills of self-management and creativity that they would develop while design their own summer projects. These are valuable skills that students will need later in their own life time. | Evidence | Effective |
5310aab18884 | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | The most important part of school should be teaching these valuable skills to make the students more independent rather than just the curriculum.
| Claim | Effective |
c9746fcdb011 | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | Some people may believe that the curriculum is the most important part of school and that is why the teachers should be designing the summer projects. They would argue that some students would fail at the task of designing their own projects. | Counterclaim | Effective |
8595c70f745c | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | However, even if the students fail at this task they will learn from the failure. They learn what they did wrong in order to develop more skills and when the next opportunity comes they will not fail. Either way fail or succeed the students learn different types of independent life skills that are very valuable and needed for adult life. | Rebuttal | Effective |
29b9b147e94d | BB5B7EE4A1A6 | , students need to be better prepared for the independence that comes later in their life, whether it is college or the work force, these valuable life skills need to be learned for the ability to succeed in any area of life. For this reason I believe that the summer projects should be designed by the students for the chance to prove there worth and develop key skills that are required in adult life. Do not limit what a student can do based on the stereotypes around their generation. Let students have the opportunity to represent what they know. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
54880bec3879 | BBDD46456082 | When the author talks about Venus he talks about how it is and what it is like and how it works. | Lead | Ineffective |
ac086cb3110c | BBDD46456082 | Venus is different from Earth but it is the same in some way. It is differnt because of the tempurature and the atmosphere and the surface. The tempurature reaches up to 800 degrees fahrenheit and that is unsurvivable for humans. The surface is bad to it is a hot lava and molten like suface and it can melt most metals. Venuses atmosphere is mainly filled with 97 percent of carbon dioxide. The air pressure is really bad it is strong enough it could crush a submarine like its going down to the deepest part of our oceans. NASA is trying to come up with a way to study Venus with a blimp like vehicle that can float 30 miles up away from Venus and its nasty surface and atmosphere. Even though the tempurature will reach only 170 degrees fahrenhite it is still survivable for humans. | Evidence | Ineffective |
47eedbe6baf3 | BBE1713D653B | A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus, its even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric aciod in venus's atmosphere. it is usually 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and sometimes the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experince on our own planet. All thought these conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth.
Also venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our solar system. Even though mercury is closer to our sun. Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcannoes powerful earthquakes are frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
NASA is working on other approaches to studying venus. For an example some simplified electronics made of slilcon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. These devices were first envisioned in 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during world war II. Modern computers exidting in those days may sound schoking but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all.
Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value not only because pf the insight to be gained on the planet itself but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. | Evidence | Ineffective |
caed4855c7f3 | BBE1713D653B | In conclusion venus has many dangers ways and it is very hot planet. its very hard to study | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
