7265e3fd4795 | D8E67D87842A | The first reason is, that we here at NASA caught an image of a face in 1976 by viking 1. | Claim | Adequate |
283f28780cdd | D8E67D87842A | At first we thought it was an alien or a face made by aliens. Then in 2001 we found the same picture of the face, but got a better veiw and a better picture quialty of the face. The picture was ten times sharper than the first one. Whe the imaged appeared on JPL web site, reavealing that is was a natural landform, not a face made by aliens. | Evidence | Adequate |

614e8804721d | D994B051E6A2 | Like how residents from Germany upscale community are suburban pioneers and they have given up their car's. Street parkng, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in there district. Why is this forbidden? i just don't get it. Car owners buy there own space, for $40,000 along with there home. In Europe passenger cars are reponsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the United States.
In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting car reduced. Many experts expect public transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role in a new federal. So fellow citizens should help them out with there limiting car usage. they sure have a lot going on. Like in the end of car culture. There expanses and suburban ideals had long been one of the world's prime car ciltures. But American's love affatr with its vehicles seems to be cooling. Its seens like they don't mind.
If i was a big huge fellow citizen i would help out with what there going throuh because i don't think this is right. For them to be having to pay so much more then what we have to pay is not cool. What would we do without car's we can't walk everywhere. That wouldnt be right. They say te day without cars is part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid 1990s. | Evidence | Adequate |

923cfa52f094 | D99A8FDB17D8 | Some schools require its students to complete summer assignments, this raises the question of whether these projects should be teacher-designed or students-designed? Which would be more beneficial to both the educator and the learner? | Lead | Adequate |
22cce8bbad39 | D99A8FDB17D8 | Students would better benefit from completing an assignment structured by teachers | Position | Adequate |

b9b9c65a7e7f | D99A8FDB17D8 | the teachers have been educated on student learning | Claim | Adequate |
7f8a65d08d59 | D99A8FDB17D8 | Before even being able to become an educator, teachers have to complete an education of their own; where they learn the most beneficial way to help another person understand something. Compared to an adolescent, who most likely isn't thinking the same way, it is clear that one will have much more success than the other in getting the lesson through. One is focused on how to get the point across as efficiently as possible and the other simply doesn't have the same thought process. The vigorous work done to obtain a teaching degree also ensure that those who are taught under the educator are not put in a stressful situation, learn at a comfortable speed, and are challenged just enough. Proving that teacher-designed assignments guarantee not only that the individual is learning, but learning effectively. | Evidence | Adequate |
86e992713427 | D99A8FDB17D8 | the teacher better understands where a students is in their learning and where they should be by what time. | Claim | Adequate |
f00b948f8d4e | D99A8FDB17D8 | more experienced educators have seen quite a lot of different students with different learning patters and know how to manipulate that to the benefit of the student and themselves. This trait is most useful in a situation that the students in a class are in completely different areas in their understanding. The teacher is then able to build projects that are unique to each individual's strengths and weaknesses. Which consequently allows the class to collectively reach the same high level of understanding, all while working individually. | Evidence | Adequate |
24d53ce64ed4 | D99A8FDB17D8 | It is impossible for a student to design an project about a topic that they dont' already know about. | Evidence | Adequate |
74befccb68b9 | D99A8FDB17D8 | Teachers should be the one's structuring the summer assignment because they are able to give the learner an unknown topic that could even possibly interest them. | Claim | Adequate |
2908a86fd49c | D99A8FDB17D8 | Although one could argue that student-designed summer assignment have their own benefits | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
ce092de54edf | D99A8FDB17D8 | the better option are teacher-designed assignments. These summer projects are better structured because the teachers have received and education on how to teach adolescents, they understand where a student needs to be in their learning, and allow the individual to explore a subject that they previously didn't know about. This structure is also beneficial because it doesn't allow the student to create anything that isn't challenging and even makes it easier on the teacher with grading. For these reasons, summer assignments should be designed by teachers and not the students. | Concluding Statement | Effective |

993f1058e423 | D9A50E9D3E5A | NASA need to do more resurch on Venuse but it is hard to do when Venuse has only been bored a few times and its hard to see through a scope. | Claim | Adequate |
816395f83bc7 | D9A50E9D3E5A | Venuse is known as the "Evening Stars because it is just a dot in the lends. | Claim | Ineffective |
61e15bfe8b8c | D9A50E9D3E5A | Besides the sun Venuse is one of the brightest pionts in the sky. The planet Venuse my have once been like our own lively. No this planet that we call our sister is just filled with dusty mountains abd vallies. | Evidence | Adequate |
67abd4e88c19 | D9A50E9D3E5A | NASA is tring to find out more information about Venuse | Claim | Ineffective |
a761812ce816 | D9A50E9D3E5A | Because NASA is truying to find a way to give Venuse back life. NASA is not only trying to give Venuse back life, but also to see weather it is living grounds. In order to make sure Venuse is the right planet to give life to NASA has to find out the presure and the oxigen levels. | Evidence | Adequate |
0272c1022d7f | D9A50E9D3E5A | In conclusion NASA is trying to find ways to make othere planets our home because Earth is falling apart. Venuse is our next step to a new home. NASA is trying to find a way to make Venuse our new home. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

f4a88ae164ec | DA0FBE6F11C9 | Teachers know all the requirements that a student needs to excel in their class. | Claim | Effective |
17901b61bf9e | DA0FBE6F11C9 | If a student designs the project he or she will make it to the ability where it is easy on them instead of actually learning from the project. | Claim | Effective |
b07b30e8cba9 | DA0FBE6F11C9 |
Every year many teachers have lesson plans that they go by to get their students to the requirements needed to pass their class. When a teacher assigns a project during the summer it is to prepare the student for the upcoming year. A teacher designs the project in a certain way where the student can obtain information during the summer instead of forgetting it completely. For example, a history teacher assigns a summer project every year. He assigns it so his students can be prepared for the first lesson that he is going to go over. He wants his students to have background information about the material for better understanding. The project could actually be very helpful because instead of going into the class not knowing anything at all a student can at least go with the information he or she learned from doing the summer project | Evidence | Effective |
8baeb39f4126 | DA0FBE6F11C9 | The projects designed by the teachers in the summer are to help a students achieve great things in their class. | Claim | Effective |
b1689ba20e8a | DA0FBE6F11C9 | If a student was able to design his or her own summer project, it will probably lead to them not getting any information from it at all. | Claim | Effective |
f899987cb37e | DA0FBE6F11C9 | A student does not know all the requirements needed for their upcoming class. The student will probably create the project where it is less work on themselves. Not many students want to do work during their summer break. Many students already do not even want a summer project assigned. I had a chance to create my own project during the summer one year for my English class; it did not turn out very well. I created the project where I did not have to do a ton of work on it because it was my summer break, and I wanted to enjoy it. The reason why it did not turn out well because I created the project with not enough for information because I did not want to waste my time on a summer project. Which also leaded to me not learning anything from it at all. When the first day of class came I knew absolutely nothing that my teacher was talking about. Then realized If my teacher had created the summer project I feel like I would of obtained way more information because she knows all the goals that need to be reached to succeed in her class. | Evidence | Effective |
c24819d00270 | DA0FBE6F11C9 | Many students believe that they should be able to design their own summer projects because they feel like they should have a chance to assign themselves something that they are actually interested in | Counterclaim | Effective |
b6bfb1790f91 | DA0FBE6F11C9 | However, it is better for a teacher to design the summer project because the teacher knows all the information that a student needs to be successful in their class. It is better for a student to have information about what they actually need to know to pass the class than something that just interests them. | Rebuttal | Effective |

840654bffab3 | DA3D494E63E4 | NASA thinks aliens made the face because it looks like a face. | Claim | Ineffective |
ce4ffbb0a509 | DA3D494E63E4 | Studys show that it could be a natural landform like a butte or a mesa just like we have on planet Earth. NASA argues that aliens could be hiding their markings behind a haze. Critics argue that it could be a natural landform. NASA took a photo of the face and it appeared to look like a butte or mesa. | Evidence | Adequate |
05d5b71106ae | DA3D494E63E4 | NASA should stop taking photos of the face because they already have enough pictures of the face to look at. In 1976 the took a photo of the face by using Viking 1. Nasa argues that they can get better views when take new photos. critics argue that you dont need that much of photos to figure out what the face is. In 2001 they used the Viking to take a photo of the face and they got back a good photo. | Evidence | Adequate |
064c4eca52f4 | DA3D494E63E4 | It showed that it was a natural landform and it looked like a butte or a mesa. | Claim | Adequate |
80f085bd4f63 | DA3D494E63E4 | NASA should stop showing it to the public because they know what the face is, and people dont need to worry about it. The face starred in a Hollywood film, and appeared in books. NASA argues that they need to get the information out to people. Critics argue that people dont need to worry about it and get freaked out about it. The face was on talk shows, checkout lines for 25 years, and in magazines. | Evidence | Adequate |
095afdc87cbd | DA3D494E63E4 | This shows that the face was out in the public for people to see.
| Claim | Ineffective |
ce68cd1818c4 | DA3D494E63E4 | In conclusion NASA is over reacting over this face on mars because they think aliens did it, they been taking alot of photos, and they been showing it to the public. I think NASA should stop taking photos and reasearching the face because its a butte or a mesa. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
148450a999a2 | DA44340727CE | Today I was having an agument with my buddy. This argument was about "The Face on Mars". We both had our own opinions on what we thought it was.

c62def499f97 | DA44340727CE | I told Zeke i worked for Nasa so I would know way more than he does an I insured him it was not an alien artifact and it was just a mesa which looked to be something it wasn't and that he shouldn't be so stubborn about it and just believe me. | Rebuttal | Ineffective |

1a2686f110a8 | DA6449D7D94A | I must say that, in my opinion The Face on Mars is indeed NOT created by aliens. It is simply illogical. | Position | Effective |
455034eeb043 | DA6449D7D94A | Firstly, the picture taken in 2001 is solid proof, as well as the 1998 picture. | Claim | Effective |
6dfb83e812e8 | DA6449D7D94A | Both seem to resemble a simple mesa, a natural landform quite common on Mars. The 1998 photograph was slightly blurry, so three years later Michael Malin and his crew returned to the Red Planet, to the Cydonia region. Mr. Malin set the Mars Global Surveyor camera to maximum resolution, and snapped an excellent picture from above the Face. And, going even further, I will point out that each pixel in the 2001 photograph spans1.56 meters, as the Viking I's 1976 photo spans 43 meters per pixel. As you can see, this is a significant difference and must not be overlooked. | Evidence | Effective |
d976364c7a64 | DA6449D7D94A | Also, I will point out that, in 1976, we at NASA were still relatively new to venturing beyond Earth's orbit. | Claim | Effective |
a56c2ecffa0d | DA6449D7D94A | The Apollo 11 mission was just seven years old! To attach a high-powered camera to a space shuttle was very challenging at the time. I still hold to my belief that, during the 1976 mission, it was either the fault of the Viking I for holding a bad angle for the camera and causing blurriness, or the camera's fault for simply not being powerful enough. The 1976 photo spans just 43 meters per pixel, which at the time was a very high resolution, but now is considered very low. All in all, the Viking I photo of the Face on Mars is forty years old and must not be taken as seriously as it once was. | Evidence | Effective |
