d5f9cc5eb6da | DE2BFF400952 | It was first discovered by a ship called viking 1 who was taking pictures of mars to see where it's sister ship viking 2 could land and it captured The Huge Face but due to low resolution they could not make it all the way out and they believed that it was a sculpture of a egyptian pharo.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
1c9f8a43bdab | DE2BFF400952 | "What the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common to earth around the american midwest". | Evidence | Adequate |
3dfb7c9a3f51 | DE2BFF400952 | Which may be because The Red Planet once had water and caused the rocks to decay in a wierd way making The Huge Face. | Claim | Adequate |
0f24c0374809 | DE6E0F8EAA59 | Have you heard about the face on Mars? If so it really isn't a face on Mars it's either a natural information or a alien artifacted. I'm going to tell you about what scientist think it is about another mission that got more pictures. | Lead | Adequate |
00ac6cf3dc68 | DE6E0F8EAA59 | Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around cydonia, only this one had unusal shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Although few scientist believe the Face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Gobal Surveyor arrived at the Red Planet in Sept. 1997 eighteen long years after the viking mission eneded. | Evidence | Adequate |
6259ffcf8556 | DE6E0F8EAA59 | Then Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snappped a picture ten times sharper than the origianl Viking photos. Thousnad of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on JPL web site, revealing ... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around American West. | Evidence | Adequate |
9da0ea45c66b | DE6E0F8EAA59 | It really isn't a face on Mars it's either a natural information or a alien artifacted. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
b7d4baa00568 | DE6E0F8EAA59 | All this information was from the Article and I believe that it is just a landform. | Position | Adequate |

c3dbdad9ac5e | DE7F02980A1D | Extracurricular activities can improve many students lifestyles.
| Claim | Adequate |
d2beb811d57d | DE7F02980A1D | A long day of tiring work builds up unnecessary stress. Students are packed with homework in subjects they may not enjoy. To end their day with an activity they enjoy can make a horrific day into an enthralling experience; for example, majority of people like spending time with others who they have things in common with. Growing up, it was hard for me to socialize, it felt as if everyone else was functioning faster than Ic was. After a day that felt as if the human population was filled with nothing but sorrow, I finally got to go home and feel the crystal clear water cool my body down, as my team practiced steadily for our swim competition. | Evidence | Effective |
bf5471a87fa7 | DE7F02980A1D | In the school I have attended for junior high, I am required to take classes that focus on music. In the sixth grade, I chose orchestra because it was an amusing experience to see how one movement in my wrist could cause a pleasant noise to be heard throughout the room. In my science class, we had moved on to the sound unit and i excelled while many other students did not. When my science teacher used words such as octaves, pitch, and harmony it wasn't difficult to understand. | Evidence | Effective |
9fc6e723375f | DE7F02980A1D | They taught me that there is more meaning on a paper than what is written in ink. | Evidence | Adequate |
f1c3cd9b9def | DE7F02980A1D | One of the many symptoms of depression is memory loss. Since my mother had suffered from the illness, it was genetically passed down to me. Even as a child it was clear to me that school was mainly about memorization. When teachers talked about how we had learned topics in prior years my brain scattered through the many memories in my head but was unable to remember anything. Extracurricular activities aren't about your ability to memorize, but your motivation to excel. | Evidence | Effective |
4463e558552b | DE7F02980A1D | Activities a student enjoys can introduce them to experiences they didn't know were possible. Extracurricular activities help students release stress from the hardships of their day, show them a way to think that they haven't seen before, and is beneficial for those who believe they are not intelligent. I believe that they would be helpful to students and help them excel in the future and should be required in schools. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
1c3aa5ad6b08 | DEA664963CD1 | In this passage the author talks about one of our plantes in the solar system named Venus. The author talks about earth like Venus is and reason why they cant go and reason why they can go and give differnt examples on how we could get that done. The author also talks about the natural stuff like valcanoes and earthquakes, and the conditions of Venus.
| Lead | Adequate |
4874a1194604 | DEA664963CD1 | In paragraph one the author give us some little facts about Venus such has how we can see Venus from Earth itself and another name for Venus that many people may have never heard of"Evening Star". | Evidence | Ineffective |
5a6a5f44c431 | DEA664963CD1 | A spacecraft hasnt landed on Venus in 3 decades due to the harsh conditions. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
ff91eb52459c | DEA664963CD1 | That is no excuse. The mission to land on Venus is a challenge at hand but it can be survived by humans. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
e4f2a3eb18dd | DEA664963CD1 | There were differnt ways they could approach Venus. The 1st way is to basically hotair ballon on Venus and the 2nd way is to just land. Its very challenging but can be done. | Evidence | Adequate |
b48d481701cd | DEA664963CD1 | In paragraph 3 they talk about how Venus is earthlike. Some examples are that Venus has oceans, valcanoes, lighting strikes, earthquaks and much more. | Evidence | Adequate |
ffef21d02b1d | DEA664963CD1 | In the next serval paragraphs the author talks about how and why they could get to Venus | Claim | Adequate |
8b9e2e151bf8 | DEA664963CD1 | SO they would use a spaceship to get there but would hotair ballon on the planet itself to stau away from everything. The only problem is there isnt technolgy good enough to render photos that are taken from the ground below. There fore if they really want smaples and all that thye have to get on the ground. Its survivable but the conditions are harsh and challenging.
| Evidence | Adequate |
fa6275224a97 | DEA664963CD1 | The author then wraps up the story talking about how we strive to meet these challenges and where it can lead us | Evidence | Adequate |
4306fb249622 | DEA664963CD1 | . I feel like we should amd should be able to study Venus from a close range. I think the dangers can be overcomed with lots of training and simulations that are inspried by Venus's harsh condistions. I also belive that we can survie venus with good technology. | Position | Adequate |
af73fd34aec1 | DEA664963CD1 | I know we have it we just done want to release it into the world which makes sense but at the same time we could have billions of people living on 2 differnt planets. Our technology is not quite there yet though, but we're getting somewhere. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
8dce39c1fe88 | DECDC46197E4 | Should student projects be designed by teachers or students? | Lead | Adequate |
99ad6d66dae6 | DECDC46197E4 | They should be designed by students, they can choose a topic that they would prefer or something that isn't too hard on them. | Position | Effective |
fc7275c625f7 | DECDC46197E4 | Sometimes teachers assign work that is difficult for students to complete, and without a teachers help during the summer you could be lost with the directions they give you. | Claim | Effective |
5e2eb695c4d7 | DECDC46197E4 | Teachers could give out a really confusing rubric for the project, a student might not understand what they must do to meet the proper criteria for the project. The teacher is out for summer break too, they probably dont have the time to check their e-mail constantly to help you out when your stuck so if students would design their own projects they wouldnt have the stress and hardship of a teacher designed project. | Evidence | Effective |
861401ba13b1 | DECDC46197E4 | If students could design their own projects they would be able to work freely without a confusing rubric and the trouble of having to wait for a teacher to e-mail you back | Claim | Effective |
6c7bcab1cb60 | DECDC46197E4 | Not all students want to be told by teachers to make a diorama or make a poster, some students dont have the time or resources for that, If its the summer then students want to be out on vacation, helping out their parents, or getting jobs. If they could create a project that doesnt interfere with that then that would be great for them. If they are able to manage their time then they can take time making a project instead of rushing through it to get it done in what little time they have. | Evidence | Effective |
af20937168ff | DECDC46197E4 | But assigning this task to students is a great way for them to show their work ethic, | Claim | Effective |
6f9fad9640e1 | DECDC46197E4 | some students could surprise their teacher by showing them how well they can accomplish a task without someone supervising them the whole time. Its a great way for them to be prepared for life after school. Sometimes you will have to complete tasks on your own with no help and you need to be prepared for that or its going to be hard on you if you've never had an experience before hand.
| Evidence | Adequate |
a9705cb22564 | DECDC46197E4 | Student designed projects are also a great way for students to be creative and to show their creativity. | Claim | Effective |
5fdffd99a1de | DECDC46197E4 | If all the students were assigned a project on the same exact topic, many of them will turn the same exact projects in. But if they were able to have creative control then they can diversify their projects, lets say you were assigned a history project, this project was about photosynthesis, Many students would turn in a plant cell thats labeled with all the parts of the cell and then they would either label a paper with how plants photosynthesize or why they do it. Most if not all of the projects would be similar, unless they were able to choose them on their own. If they could choose they could do a project on How the Rocky Mountains were formed, or how active the Ring of Fire is. Then the projects would be more interesting to not only the teacher but the students. | Evidence | Effective |
637d814bc464 | DECDC46197E4 |
Another reason on why students should have the freedom to create their own projects is that they wouldnt have been assigned a project that they find boring, | Claim | Effective |
fbb273acffd5 | DECDC46197E4 | The chances are if a student is bored with their work, they are not going to do a good job on it. They didnt have the motivation of learning or finding it interesting, they just simply want to get it done and over with. But if they do a project they find interesting, not only could they be happy with their work but they would would most likely preform a better job than if they didnt. Not only would they be satisfied with being able to have freedom over their work, but they would be satisfied with the work they put into it. | Evidence | Effective |
cfed798c96d6 | DF082C5AC45E | Imagine growing up in a city 30 miles above the ground and wearing a suit all the time to protect yourself from the envirement. This is life on the planet of Venus. There are many dangers such as the temperature being 800 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure that is 90 times greater than what we experience on earth, and clouds of sulfuric acid everywhere but is it worth it?
| Lead | Effective |
ed2dd8aa4988 | DF082C5AC45E | In this article there are many reasons to not explore Venus, some say it may not be able to be done but NASA belives that if we use a blimp like vehicle | Claim | Adequate |
ba57c954c5a1 | DF082C5AC45E | to explore 30 miles above the surface then the temperature will drop to around 170 and the pressure will drop aswell. | Evidence | Adequate |
c3fc3d84325d | DF082C5AC45E | There is a saying "The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few" and in the situation of our planet being compremised in one way or another that is very true | Evidence | Ineffective |
5f1827eed1b4 | DF082C5AC45E | If we need another planet to flee to we could go to Venus but we would need exstensive research first in order to find out if it is even possible to survive on that planet. | Claim | Adequate |
c285287600bd | DF082C5AC45E | Life would be a lot more difficult living on Venus but based on this article it might just be possible | Claim | Effective |
42887eef99df | DF082C5AC45E | Living on Venus would mean we would have to make tons of improvements in our technology so they wouldn't be totally inferior in the extreme conditions of Venus's weather. Our tech would have to able to handle all of the heat and everything else without over heating and exploding all the time. | Evidence | Adequate |
8c4290587185 | DF082C5AC45E | I think the author did a good job in explaining the conditions of the Venus and all of its surprises it holds for us to find. | Position | Adequate |
30170b8b8557 | DF082C5AC45E | The author also adresses the technology advancements we would have to make aswell as gives us motivation to explore and create by saying "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
bc5b158609f9 | DF1287CDBCF6 | Using technology to read students' facial expressions isn't the best thing to do. It could help the teachers show who understands, who doesn't understand, and who does and does't pay attention. This could help the teacher in many different ways. | Claim | Adequate |
53c1b7cef147 | DF1287CDBCF6 | Using this to help the teacher is alright. | Claim | Adequate |
4abb5dccdcb1 | DF1287CDBCF6 | It could also become a distraction for the students. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
de409acab048 | DF1287CDBCF6 | The teacher uses it to determine if the lesson that they are giving is hard for the students to understand or if they are doing really well with it. If the students realize that their facial expressions are being recorded or used for something, they could make so many faces into it. | Evidence | Adequate |
13aa3ca192c8 | DF1287CDBCF6 | It would be a nice thing to do | Rebuttal | Adequate |
adb1cdae206a | DF1287CDBCF6 | With this kind of technology, it could help the teacher plan their lesson so the students can understand, but they don't get bored | Claim | Adequate |
ff7c8aaba8db | DF1287CDBCF6 | Interacting with students help them learn better, so if there are some confused, or not into the lesson, it shows that and can help get them to understand and get into the lesson.
| Evidence | Adequate |
72dafd46c31e | DF1287CDBCF6 | Teachers would have to think if this is really worth having, or is it going to do nothing for them. | Position | Ineffective |
33ef6c9727be | DF1287CDBCF6 | Teachers want students to know how and what they are doing, but they need to learn how the students, know what to do and how to do it. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
7cd8e9dfb671 | DF4E1B5910B6 | They say Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetary visit. Its a crucial consideration given the long time frames of spave travel. The value of returnung to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive. | Lead | Adequate |
e06413aaf4e4 | DF4E1B5910B6 | I think if we can study Venus up close we'll get a better understanding of the planet, like what materials it has and how the weather conditions are. | Position | Ineffective |
e957d71e96da | DF4E1B5910B6 | NASA has a compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. A blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground.
To meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | Evidence | Ineffective |
f66275dc7a7a | DF76BBCD85B1 | There is an argument going around on whether summer projects should be designed by students or teachers. | Lead | Ineffective |
8898454d07c6 | DF76BBCD85B1 | The summer projects should be designed by the teachers | Position | Adequate |
a1fc15d702d9 | DF76BBCD85B1 | students won't challenge themselves in the summer | Claim | Adequate |
7476f0e29082 | DF76BBCD85B1 | teachers know what criteria the students should learn | Claim | Adequate |
86a80e958d71 | DF76BBCD85B1 | it is the teachers job to give the students work. | Claim | Adequate |
f4982862fe40 | DF76BBCD85B1 | if students designed their own summer project they would make it easy. | Claim | Adequate |
89c3065c4a9d | DF76BBCD85B1 | Most students can't wait for the last day of school so they don't have to do any work or should I say "learn".
Also if they do a summer project it should help preview what they are going to be learning in the upcoming school year, so if they don't know exactly what it is that they will be learning why should they have to design their own project which most would not what to do in the first place.
In addition to the students designing their own project there are a lot of potential problems that could occur.
Like they forget to inform everyone else on what the project is.
The students just are not mature or responsible enough to be able to design such a hefty task like a summer project all on their own. | Evidence | Adequate |
902e856f32b1 | DF76BBCD85B1 | they know what they will teacher in the following school year. | Claim | Adequate |
fbcc35607f26 | DF76BBCD85B1 | The students should begin to get informed or a little bit of knowledge on what they will be taught in the upcoming school year.
The teachers that design the summer project should make it about topics that they will later teach the students on.
For example, if there is a lesson on the cells in a plant for next year, maybe have the students create a plant cell out of recycled materials.
Just little things so they come into the classroom ready and already with some knowledge on what will be presented in the school year. | Evidence | Adequate |
491b9b31d6b0 | DF76BBCD85B1 | its the teachers job to design such things. | Claim | Adequate |
c9f8cca52fae | DF76BBCD85B1 | A student should not have to worry about what they are going to do for a project.
That is too much pressure on the youth.
Instead maybe teachers collectively as a group come up with multiple project ideas for the students.
Give the students multiple options on what assignment or project they would want to do.
The teacher are getting paid to teach and come up with lesson plans.
Therefore it should not be the students task to come up with any projects specifically one like a summer project. | Evidence | Adequate |
921de06ede58 | DF76BBCD85B1 | On the other hand, if students design their own projects that could help them mature.
| Counterclaim | Adequate |
0a252253b808 | DF76BBCD85B1 | Although it may just apply pressure and stress on the students which is what we don't want happening to them.
We shouldn't make kids design their own projects especially if most don't want to do it. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
a152d16b4e3d | DF76BBCD85B1 | Teachers should be the ones designing the projects due to the fact that they get paid to create such things as projects and know what lessons are going to be taught in the following year, and students just aren't ready for this type of task.
The answer is rather clear that is should be the teachers designing the projects and not the students. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
ea843b8008e8 | DF7D4CA4A89E | Technology can make people mad in happy its just how you use it in how you do it like you can look up things that you know that will make you happy. But in this story its saying that the computers know when you happy or sad or even confused but then it can help the person because it say it can modify. Its a lot that the technology it can't look you in the face in see that something is wrong with you. The story is saying they want to know how people are feeling even when they are trying to hide it i think that is personal and the person will tell you if the person wanted you to know. | Evidence | Ineffective |
09a79300ca0c | DF7D4CA4A89E | But technology is good in so many ways but its bad in so many ways to. I think your emotions shoud stay to you if thats what you want and not base on if the technology want to know. | Position | Ineffective |
fad697f92d1b | DF890FC7D48F | If every student were to participate is a after school activity or sport, then the school would keep getting better. | Position | Adequate |

6fc38a8ec743 | DF890FC7D48F | Everyone gets to pick their sport or activity so that they will have fun doing it but still be working. They wouldnt have to participate in a sport or club that they dont want to but they would have to pick something. Everyone would have at least one friend because they have to work with each other all the time and they would learn to like each other. The whole school would be productive all the time and the schools systems would be improving every day. | Evidence | Adequate |
641da14714ff | DF890FC7D48F | Students would like what they do because they chose it and because they like it so much they will have better attitudes and behave better. Students wanna have good grades and be happy and this is the perfect way to make it happen. The more they experience in that club or team the happier the students are gonna be inside and outside of school. Some students are depressed and sad all the time so if we give those students people to hang out with and fun things to do we can wipe out all of the depression that those students have. | Evidence | Adequate |
779bb612a86c | DF890FC7D48F | If the students know and respect their teacher than they wont act up during class time and the class will be able to get more stuff done. If the students stop messing around in a teachers class than the teachers would respect them and the class could work hard to learn more everyday. The school would get better over time and soon the school will be active all the time. | Evidence | Adequate |
e2a38e33cc13 | DF890FC7D48F | Everyone would be doing something so that even the kids that dont want to do anything still have to. I agree with this principle in many ways and think he is absolutely amazing and his idea is a great one. If we all work together to get the whole school to be active than i think it would be possible and they would have a great school. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

But what time will this activity be going on after school, before school, during school. no one know what time this activity will be going on. This is something that we need to know so we can tell are parents or gardens. | Evidence | Ineffective |

ae23533f837e | DFB074E89515 | But why does the principal think this is a good thing to do with use students. some might want to do that. But then we will have to pay and some students might not have the monny to do that. So then we will have to start doing fundraisers for the school so we will have monny for these things.
