000a03cbe6c7 | BC0D9F77A3DA | Another way to stay involved with your school is to work on the yearbook. | Claim | Ineffective |
148c3bbbc10e | BC0D9F77A3DA | The yearbook is made annually by students, and is good to put on your resume if you want a career in photography.

c1d1deed9e82 | BC22AA8852AD | One reason why it's dangerous is because no one have maded to venus. | Claim | Ineffective |
00589ce33b59 | BC22AA8852AD | For example in paragraph 2 in sentence 5 it states, "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reasons, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours". Another example in paragraph 2 sentence 6 it states, "maybe the issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on venus in more than three decades. | Evidence | Adequate |

434510ebae90 | BC22AA8852AD | "The challenge of exploring venus" Is worthy pursuit despite of danger for these reasons, Alstranouts not landing, NASA making a new object to try to land, and humans not wanting to believe what's happeing and wanting to go to venus. I perdict that those were why the author suggest that studying venus could be dangerous. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |

conditions becasue most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense almosphere " even though we are able to have drownes go there we wont be able to bring any of them back with rocks or some air from that planet. The other reson for them would be that they would have to send real people to go and get some samples but that would be to dangerus | Evidence | Adequate |

2a67fa532166 | BD0D555216AB | Students will be way more benifited if summer school projects were to be student-designed instead of teacher designed | Position | Adequate |
1cf7e9def05e | BD0D555216AB | Allowing for student to design their own project will allow them to explore and learn how to do projects on their own. | Claim | Adequate |
d221a574419e | BD0D555216AB | This will allow them to be more independent and responsible on doing projects on their own and managing their time to do school work. | Claim | Adequate |
24ce5ba84dc3 | BD0D555216AB | It also be way more fun then doing a teacher-designed project ! | Claim | Adequate |

59967da2fce5 | BD0D555216AB | It can also refresh their memory on material they already learned and keep them engaged on education and not on wasting time. Also if the the summer projects were teacher-designed then. If students were to a teacher-designed project than it will fit into a criteria where it is easier to grade. This will allow the teacher to grade them quickly and give feedback to improve the students knowledge and to help solve the mistakes. Also if students did a teacher-designed project than they can have better instructions making it easier and more quickly to get the project done faster allowing them to have a better summer. But it will also keep them engage with school work because it was a teacher-design and the material on it should be instructed and given from the teacher. | Evidence | Adequate |

62bb0fa8acf3 | BD0D555216AB | With more freedom students can explore subjects that they don't know about, or want to know more about. This can also make students get more creative with the project when it comes to design or topic that others may find interesting. If students had more freedom with their project allowing them to be creative and showing the teachers what they can do could benifit them because the teacher can give the student more opportunities when doing future projects. Also if the school some very creative project than the student can be recommended to events or major schools in the future. Also when giving students more freedom it can allow them to express themselves or maybe make a point when doing a project on their own. Also when doing a teacher-designed project then students will fell more restrained and more like they are forced to a project. If students had to do their own designed project than they would probably do it more willingly. | Evidence | Effective |
cd18eed9190d | BD0D555216AB | when allowing the student to their own student-designed project it can make them more responsible and independent. | Claim | Adequate |
0951b95fd751 | BD0D555216AB | This will make the students more independent because they will have to the project on their own with no guide or instruciton on how to do it making them do it by themselves. And of course responsible because the student is responsible to get the project done and to turn it in with their own design. Letting a student their own project can help them because could get them to do their work and use their own knowledge.
| Evidence | Adequate |
213b19edff3f | BD0D555216AB | If the students were to do their own student-design project than they will have fun. | Claim | Adequate |
a4e033ee8976 | BD0D555216AB | If they are having fun than they will be more engaged on the project and interested allowing them to do better. When they have fun doing there project than it's a more enjoyable experience. It will also teach them how to manage time during the summer to get their project done. Also the student will have all the summer to design their own project allowing them to above and beyond and do something very creative that can influence others and impress the teacher. | Evidence | Adequate |
3ed0ee024558 | BD0D555216AB | Overall a student-design project would be better because it allows the student to explore and have freedom with their design and project allowing them to create cool and complex projects. This would also make student responsible and independent because they have to make their own design project. And overall it would be very fun allowig the student to be engaged with their project and really get into their project making it better. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

So we know that the planet is changing and thats how we know that the landform isn't created by Aliens. Plus we have a Surveyor which is a mapping spacecraft that normally looks straight down and scans the planet like a fax machine in narrow 2.5 km-wide strips. The number one way we know it is a land form and not something created by Aliens is because As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, he added. So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!. | Evidence | Adequate |

A home to 5,500 residents withing a rectangular square mile, it may be the most advanced experiment in a low-car suburban life. They say " All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change".

d7bb28c5d99f | BDC4070CF21E | Summer assignments can be very beneficial in ensuring that students are continuously learning, but the question at hand is, should students personalize their summer assignments or should a teacher-designed standardized copy be given to every student? | Lead | Effective |
6b0b473bf584 | BDC4070CF21E | I believe that students should be able to design their own summer assignments | Position | Effective |
62f514c94809 | BDC4070CF21E | only the student knows what they need to improve on, | Claim | Effective |
eef163cb62f8 | BDC4070CF21E | teachers may attempt to take advantage of this opportunity by assigning a tremendous amount of work | Claim | Effective |
5e4b728fee12 | BDC4070CF21E | one standardized paper does not facilitate each individual students needs or learning styles. | Claim | Effective |
e239537e9d29 | BDC4070CF21E | some may believe that it is better for the teacher to design the assignment, because the teacher knows what students need to improve on, so the teachers would provide students with exactly what they need to practice. They might also believe that if a student was to design the assignment, they would purposely make it simple and deny themselves the opportunity to learn. They may also agree that teachers should make the assignments because the teacher is in a position of power in the classroom. | Counterclaim | Effective |
48ce7d8745b9 | BDC4070CF21E | Although, the teacher is responsible for teaching the class, the student is responsible for knowing which areas they need improvement on. Every student is different, one student may find challenging, another may find it easy. For example, in my geometry class, most students find proportions simple, whereas I find them rather complex and challenging. If I were to design my own summer assignment for geometry, I would include a lot of proportions to ensure I get the needed practice. This is just one of the example of how students know where they need improvement and how a student can help promote their own success. | Rebuttal | Effective |
