91435623c994 | E22EDA0278ED | and a quot from the text is "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." and that proves we need to start exploring venus because it shows us our mistakes in our space craft. Just think of how we will be able to improve our studys in space exploration. And we can upgrade our spaceships to spacecrafts maybe. | Evidence | Adequate |
04b070ea6b7b | E22EDA0278ED | And anouther reson on why we need to keep exploring mars is how there is 97% of carbon dioxide in the ai. | Claim | Adequate |
2519e1f72d95 | E22EDA0278ED | and one pice of evidence from the text is "A thick atmoshere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide. " And that is anouther reson to keep studdying mars, because we can learn how is was created and how it got there and also how long people live there before they die so many posibilatys that we can have about gasmask and air chambers.
| Evidence | Adequate |
d1fb48577e45 | E22EDA0278ED | And lastly the final reson on why we shouldn't end the venus exploration is that the heat the planet has. | Claim | Adequate |
faac01dfc871 | E22EDA0278ED | and one piece of evidnce that the text gives us about on hot venus is, is " on the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees fhrenheit" and that shows us that we can learn on how to live on hot planets without buring into a crips also it shows us how far we can go with our air coolers to try to lower the heat. | Evidence | Adequate |
b5308afea9c9 | E22EDA0278ED | And that is all the ressons why we should not stop exploring venus. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
13b9219b306e | E27F2BAC8CD9 | Limiting car use is not a new idea. | Position | Ineffective |
ccdf87cdf5b6 | E27F2BAC8CD9 | It has been around for about 10 years now, but there has been a major spike in car usage and carbon-based emissions. Less and less people are using a car, and car sales have also gone in a downward spiral. Company chairman for Ford, Bill Ford, proposed a buisness plan for cities that have no practical use at the Mobile World Congress in Spain. Since even before the recession, less and less people are obtaining their licenses, and there has been an increase in major city populations, where driving is severly discouraged. Changes like these are leading to lower emisssions, improved saftey, conserved resources, and saved time, according to Ford. | Evidence | Adequate |
f4a09e460b33 | E27F2BAC8CD9 | Between 2001 and 2009, there was about a 23 percent drop in young people getting their license. These numbers are inspiring cities all over the world to make a change and do their part to make a change in the world. The capital of Columbia, Bogata has something known as a "car-free day," where only busses and taxis are permitted to be on the road. Other drivers will face a $25 fine. Even in the rain people continued to not use their car. Two other Columbian cities, Cali and Valledupar, also joined in for the first time this year. Bogota has a population of around seven million people | Evidence | Adequate |
74c950fa0878 | E27F2BAC8CD9 | so even if they stop just a quarter of them from driving, then that could cut down on a lot of carbon-based emissions. | Claim | Effective |
73ff27ff5e7f | E27F2BAC8CD9 | In Paris, France, drivers were given 22-euro fines for even numbered license plates on one day, then odd numbered license plates the next. Congestion was down 60 percent, and this was after five days that Paris' emissions could rival those of major cities in China. France's tax policy that makes diesel fuel more viable than gasoline was partially to blame, according to Reuters. Diesel engines make up 67 percent of cars in France, which is much higher than their European counterparts. Compared to other captials, Paris has a much higher particulate matter as well. It had over 30 more micrograms than the next highest, which is Brussels, mostly due to the cold nights and warm days, which would trap carbon. After the smog was cleared, Paris released the ban on certain numbered license plates.
| Evidence | Adequate |
ba4732dd9f17 | E27F2BAC8CD9 | Another advantage to having no cars is that we have more people walking or riding their bike. | Claim | Effective |
cdd2e5c9d443 | E27F2BAC8CD9 | While obesity rates in America have been turned around and are trending in the right direction again, there is always more that can be done. It will get people to be more active, and maybe try to eat healthier so they have more energy to walk to where they are going. There will always be obese people, especially in developed countries where junk food is sold around every corner. But we help those who want to change and be healthier by giving alternative choices instead of sitting while commuting. Of course, it would be ridiculous for somebody to have to walk 10 miles to get to work. Not everything can be perfect. Suburban towns would likely fade out of existance, making large cities larger and more intemit. | Evidence | Adequate |
030b6ab25068 | E27F2BAC8CD9 | Cars will never fully vanish. But you can do your part. The next time you have to go to the store that's withing walking distance, take a bottle of water and head out. Greenhouse gasses could be stopped, and it all starts with you. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
0797ae47fd72 | E286AD066204 | It is no question that some teachers like to give out work over the summer. In fact, some schools even require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning over their break. There are those arguing that such projects should be student-designed; however, this is a bad idea in the long run. | Lead | Adequate |
724ff3e21425 | E286AD066204 | summer projects should be teacher-designed.
| Position | Adequate |
a132ec0d9f5c | E286AD066204 | For starters, teachers know the curriculum and know what students need to learn, especially for the upcoming school year. | Claim | Effective |
6ff0d8c51f82 | E286AD066204 | Teachers can also give an overall theme and provide many mini topics for the students to do their project on to help with creativity and a higher chance of individuality. Teachers can also hand out rubrics for their students to help them stay on track and to let them know what should and what should not be included in their projects. | Evidence | Effective |
d9969be76d80 | E286AD066204 | Projects designed by teachers can almost always guarantee a student is learning. | Claim | Effective |
1700b395cbb6 | E286AD066204 | Students do not know it all, so if they were to create their own summer project, it would most likely be based around something that they already know much of; however, if a teacher designed the project, this would insure a way of making sure all students learn something new. Teacher-designed projects are also a way for students to get a taste of what the following school year is going to be like, which can give them a head start. Lastly, if students designed their own projects, the chances of it being organized is slim-to-none; whereas, if teachers designed the projects, it would have a purpose, a flow, and be well organized all at the same time. | Evidence | Effective |
18441512b620 | E286AD066204 | Although some may disagree, teacher-designed summer projects deem to hold much more beneficial qualities over student-designed projects. From keeping an overall theme and being well organized to helping students get a leg-up for the upcoming school year, teacher-designed projects just have a more positive outlook overall. Although student-designed projects seem like a good idea, it will ultimately just turn into a giant, unorganized mess where the students do not even learn anything new. In conclusion, summer projects would be better off if it were designed by teachers. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
9954dd370322 | E28D7D67A8F7 | When Nasa discovered this "face", at first they didn't know what to say. So they just passed it as another "Martian Mesa". "Scientist figured it was just another Martian Mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Eighteen years later after the Viking space trip, they decided to take more photos of it. The technology improved so it was giving them a clearer image. They got the pictures, and soon put them out for the public to see. "The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars". Thousands of people that were waiting for this image soon saw it was just a landform, "JPL website, revealing...a natural landform, There was no alien monument after all". Then later they figured out that the picture was acually a butte or mesa. "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa, landforms common around the American West". Garvin says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars". | Evidence | Ineffective |
4b4225e68c17 | E2A07EFFFA7E | I think using the Facial action coding system in students in a classroom is not good and the same thime bad. The students shouldt be using that they dont know what can go wrong. | Position | Adequate |
838927ed8c5c | E2A07EFFFA7E | The technology in 2018 is getting bigger and smarter. The technology is taking over jobs and everything. | Evidence | Ineffective |
bfe62bb56a48 | E2A07EFFFA7E | The facil action coding can be use for some important hings like like they can use it in the police office or somewhere that they really need it. | Claim | Ineffective |
a48528392948 | E2A07EFFFA7E | The students can choose to use it or not they wont do it if they dont want to thats like making u do it. Some students will be surpice and some afraid of what might happen to them if something goes wrong. The technology makes alot of great things to hellp us who needs it. Teachnology can end up with the world if bad people do bad things to technology. I just want to be safe and have technology that helps me do good in my life. I maybe use the facial action coding to see how my emotions are but not use it for fun every minute | Evidence | Ineffective |
3cb2097d4818 | E2A07EFFFA7E | The Facial Action coding should work just find so all students can use it if is lik e we trying to see if it works good then the students shouldt use it. | Claim | Adequate |
39b766a011af | E2A07EFFFA7E | I think that the Facial Action Coding should only be use when that person wants to try it and is not scare of what would happen if sometimes goes wrong while checking her or his emotions. Techology sometimes is bad and good but more times is for the good ways to us. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
4a3c97b28a1c | E2B2ABB01662 | This technology of reading student emotions in a classroon room is unvaluable .I dont know why ANYBODY WILL MAKE THIS UP.Some people dont want nobody to know how there feeling. | Lead | Adequate |
78c4054de7f8 | E2B2ABB01662 | Im so against this creation i would not like my classmate to know how im feeling i dont care is i'm happy or sad . | Position | Adequate |
8b11152214d5 | E2B2ABB01662 | The article stated that a computer will recognize if your even faking your emotions. | Claim | Adequate |
2fccd1c9b409 | E2B2ABB01662 | I dont think its nobody part in life to know the next person emotions. only if your a conesilor you should know someone emotion or how they feel other than that NO this is a horible idea. iN Paragraph 5 it tells us it help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. The computer will even know all your muscles in your body to help them fing how your feelings this is real not cause for at all some people want to keep there life personal a possible. | Evidence | Ineffective |
ffd6f835ec9e | E2B2ABB01662 | so yes, this coding system in very agaist it i can see if somebody would want you to know how there feeling. Not asking them in just doing it is respecting eachother space. This was a horible idea for someone to come up with. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
eff746eba051 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | Well i dissagree | Position | Adequate |
83bee57a7559 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | why can the teachers do the work always wanting students to help so i dissagree | Claim | Adequate |
0eccb39cf8eb | E2BB0AA98EA5 | because if they can do it they shouldnt make other people wanna do it,but i would also work on the yearbooks beacuse you are the one who is doing it all so you do it the way u want to | Evidence | Ineffective |
44d6027afca3 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | Kids should also have multipul choices to choose what they wanna do | Claim | Adequate |
09585a79e7bf | E2BB0AA98EA5 | because here they only give them like three options that honestly is not far well thats my opinon other people might think other wise | Evidence | Adequate |
c9f994447b76 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | I also agree because it will help kids get personal stuff outta there mind | Counterclaim | Adequate |
36ec8e413300 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | example parents fighting,getting bullied,over thinking,depression,there are many more examples these are just ones that came out of my mind because i wouldnt really think about stuff like this. | Evidence | Adequate |

8964fec36129 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | so when they grow up they can say i did this i didnt do this and on the other hand if u dont do that you wont be able to even have fun you have to try new things in life because without trying you wont get anywhere in life. | Evidence | Adequate |
999fdb5ad21c | E2BB0AA98EA5 | they should have more options for the students to choose because not all students might like those options | Claim | Adequate |
4b01137d70d2 | E2BB0AA98EA5 | maybe they have other things in mind like gaming like you never know what they could be thinking you should let them speak out maybe they have even better ideas you never know because students have open minds some people dont know that. | Evidence | Adequate |

e5bc9c8d0fe3 | E2BCA7B63A7E | Why should cars be limited? Theres really no reasson why. | Position | Adequate |
5fe5c7b0a999 | E2BCA7B63A7E | I see that all cars are is a deadly machine that can kill anyone at anytime. over a hundred inasent people die every mouth by a car accident or and motorised viache colision.
Theres some places around the world where cars are limited to residents owning a car. For example: Vauban, Germany. Just because theres to many people that do not own any type of transportation have to walk the streets and so the people that own cars have a hard time trying to get places with all the people crowding the streets. when theres to mant people walking it beggins to back up traffice to a point people give up there cars to actual get to their work on time or to see a movie before it starts | Evidence | Ineffective |
5778c8f100dc | E2BCA7B63A7E | I belive cars should be limited to the point where people have to walk. | Position | Ineffective |
c0b75a0cb695 | E2BCA7B63A7E | To cut down the obesity rate. | Evidence | Adequate |
86b91b40ef40 | E313B4A45475 | The new technology which is called Facial Action Coding System should be banned because let's see if your sad or angry, you wouldnt want other people to know how you feel instead of just telling them by your own | Position | Adequate |
b3d4409d8b73 | E313B4A45475 | It sometimes can be use for just certain things and if that person gives you permission to look at the Site, then yeah it can be used to determine how they are feeling. | Claim | Ineffective |
cab9009e943f | E313B4A45475 | Some people may think this new technology may be an awesome technology | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
66f2217bf189 | E313B4A45475 | but some other people may also think that is just as same as other technology | Rebuttal | Adequate |
3d3777a96943 | E313B4A45475 | For example, "If you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." This means that this technology mostly works only when your smile like it said on the text. | Evidence | Adequate |
1c8a8b7b5de2 | E313B4A45475 | Yeah it may be awesome to other people | Counterclaim | Adequate |
4e65a1408d8d | E313B4A45475 | but like i said it should be banned because there is no point on having that techology if that person tells you how they are felling. | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
31c6d34bbb45 | E313B4A45475 | Clearly, this technology should be banned because it is not used correclty and every person who uses it is, it's using it too much and that's not how it works. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
7450b143280c | E313EE03F35F | the author of the story says that venus is very worthy pursuit | Position | Ineffective |
661e26b93972 | E313EE03F35F | because it is the closets to earth. | Claim | Ineffective |
c4a40a11aadf | E313EE03F35F | What he means by saying closest is terms like density and size of venus is the same of earth. | Evidence | Adequate |
a550f460d433 | E313EE03F35F | The author also says venus is our planetary neigbor. | Claim | Ineffective |
14595399e7fd | E313EE03F35F | Venus does orbit the sun at diffrent speeds then us so that could be a diffulcty for us to get to venus to. we usaully are closer in time to mars then we are to venus at times. | Evidence | Adequate |
7b5572f960e9 | E313EE03F35F | Humans have already tried landing diffrent types of of space crafts to venus. those space crafts have all failed or have not survived more then a couple of hours on the surface. | Evidence | Ineffective |
cc3e65129c22 | E313EE03F35F | It would be very hard to survive in venus | Claim | Ineffective |
8711af82efc3 | E313EE03F35F | because of its condition its covered by blankets of corbon dioxide, clouds are corrosive sulfiric acid, 800 degrees weather, and the pressure is 90 times greater then earths. | Evidence | Adequate |
8399fbadb216 | E313EE03F35F | but venus could have all been eath like at one point. | Claim | Ineffective |
1b438905d920 | E313EE03F35F | Venus could have been covored in oceans and supported many forms of life. scientist want to make blimp like cars so the humans that are sent to venus wouldnt have to touch the ground of all those gases. | Evidence | Ineffective |
4da796114c29 | E313EE03F35F | This is why scientist think it a worthy pursuit to keep studying venus. they are getting closer and closer to overcoming this challange. they have allot of options on how to survive on venus. Once they get it it can help us with allot of things. thats why scientist wont stop studying venus. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
9d5e0c231485 | E3349F640D64 | With the information the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" covers, this advancement in technology seems extremely unnecessary and could potentially have negative effects even with the good intentions behind it. | Position | Effective |
1091c98b35e6 | E3349F640D64 | As far as what is explained in this article the only benefit to this technology is that computers will know what you are feeling, and the question that needs to be asked is; do we really want them to? | Claim | Effective |
f7fc585f42b7 | E3349F640D64 | Secondly, there was no mention of how much this kind of technology costs or if it would even be plausible for it to be in a classroom setting. | Claim | Effective |
cb92042e2d90 | E3349F640D64 | Lastly, why is it be necessary for a computer to overtake yet another aspect of a teacher's job of human interaction and communication. | Claim | Effective |
2233c9d9e42c | E3349F640D64 | Technology being able to read emotional expressions in the classroom sounds wildly ludicrous in terms of use, cost, and personal connections | Evidence | Adequate |
5b8089ba11ab | E3349F640D64 | Although all seems harmless on the forefront of this idea, the side effects could turn very sour very quick. | Claim | Effective |
67882caead0e | E3349F640D64 | Nick D' Alto says "Imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad." The author of this article talks of how it will improve ad placements by whether you smile or frown, however I know for a fact social medias, especially Facebook, are already basing information on preferable ads by just what material you look at. Why is it necessary for a program to constantly scan our face just to see if we like something or not? This gives the computer so much power of constantly knowing what your exact emotions are on everything. It is just so unnecessary that it causes one to question why in the world would we risk giving computers that kind of power. Also, is it appropiate to constantly scan childrens' faces as they are trying to learn? Would there be a security system in place or parental agreement necessary that would allow the permission of constant invasion of privacy in the name of education? There are many ethical questions and unknown future outlooks that one would not want to subject children to that sort of test of safety and security. | Evidence | Effective |
37a08df99977 | E3349F640D64 | However if this technology was to be used in a classroom, the next question is of course the cost of such a new computer process. | Claim | Effective |
3f8c85cc815b | E3349F640D64 | All computers would have to have facial recognition in their system and although there is no mention of cost in the article one can imagine that this new technology is not cheap. Is it realistic to expect that schools will pay great amounts of tax payers dollars just so that we can invade the privacy of our children to figure out if they are bored? It seems much more financially sound to not steal the jobs of millions of teachers and let them get to know their students, opposed to scanning their face. | Evidence | Effective |
d26824735622 | E3349F640D64 | Teachers are necessary in the classroom not only to impart knowledge but also to make those personal connections that tell them how to best teach their kids. | Claim | Effective |
bc4658388670 | E3349F640D64 | Every student is different, learns a different way and reacts differently to every aspect of the classroom. The article says a computer will be able to detect if a student is bored, but teachers have that ability already, minus the cost and invasion of privacy. Teachers are in the classroom so that they can make those personal connections with each student and ensure that they are doing everything they can to provide the best education possible. If a computer detects boredom it will just try another lesson without knowing what is best for the student. So the question that needs to be asked is why would this sort of technology be useful in the classroom? | Evidence | Effective |
5e7f71a7f032 | E3349F640D64 | In conclusion technology that scans your face to read your emotions has too many ethical questions, financial problems, and no personal connections for this computer process to be acceptable in the classroom. Although this advancement is impressive, the classroom setting is most definitely not the right place for this type of computer process. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

d06d34dd6307 | E36560297AD9 | I'm sure most students would agree that teachers really know how to put you to work, while that sounds like a bad thing, it's actually very helpful. Teachers know how to drill information into a student's brain. However, I do understand why students would want to be in charge of organizing summer projects. Students want projects to be fun and easy, usually with as little work as possible, as to where teachers would more than likely want as much work as possible | Lead | Effective |
2ffddefa3bb4 | E36560297AD9 | Sure it can be difficult but, there are many reasons why teacher-designed summer projects would work better. | Position | Effective |
834563530579 | E36560297AD9 | Because teachers are more experienced with designing summer projects, they know what is needed to help students construct a great project. | Claim | Effective |
a619e95bda38 | E36560297AD9 | Teachers can also assist in giving pointers to how students can be more engaged with their projects. | Claim | Effective |
2379e8a1a5ff | E36560297AD9 | As difficult as it might seem, the challenges that teachers set for students, actually help benefit in teaching students the material.
| Claim | Effective |
5a74b552a3f0 | E36560297AD9 | Teachers have organized many summer projects throughout their years of teaching. They are more qualified to organize them because, they know what material students struggle with and they know how to make the information stick. | Claim | Effective |
