dfbc162f7bf7 | F245631F4D97 | the purpose of the teacher is to guide their students on a path of enlightenment through the education system, | Claim | Effective |
bcb941854c0c | F245631F4D97 | students are inherently lazy and will make an easy project, | Claim | Effective |
711ee5aafbba | F245631F4D97 | it provides the teacher a bar for which a teacher can know how advanced their students are before they come to class on the first day. | Claim | Effective |
06b2604b166e | F245631F4D97 | An educational study at Yale shows that students who go to cram school over the summer have a tendency to achieve a higher score on the SAT compared to those of a self taught student at home. This is without a doubt, proof that a curriculum and or project assigned from a teacher is best to give a student to insure that they retain previous knowledge and can build off of it. With the teacher giving a direct projection and project on what a student needs to know also helps the student, because the student doesn't have to aimlessly ponder on what the teacher wants them to know next year. It allows students to have a narrow and direct line of sight to their goal , and enables to teacher to have a direct overview on the project. | Evidence | Effective |
3cd41483b43d | F245631F4D97 | If a summer project was Student-designed the project, would be of the most basic and rudimentary work a students would want to finish it as fast as possible. As seen in the daily lives of Generic_School students, in which 65% take non honors or AP level courses. We can see a trend that students are not willing to challenge themselves and would not be capable to create a project, in which the project would be academically sufficient for their studies next year. Furthermore it can be shown on a global level in which the United States is ranked within the top 15 but not top 5 based on educational levels. If we as an American culture can't rise up to be a leading power in education with the help of our teachers, how can we expect student-designed projects and studies to do any better. | Evidence | Effective |
a0874ba280d0 | F245631F4D97 | The Generic_School system as had tremendous amount of trouble in which teachers have to ask for multiple planning days. The reasoning for this is due to the fact that students don't knowing the fundamental requirements for a class when they walk into the classroom on the first day. This causes teachers to have to readjust their curriculum in order for the students to catch up to where the teacher wants them to be. A teacher-designed project would allow the teacher to tell the students the basic information they need to know before they come into the class, it also allows to students to prepare their mentality going into the school year. | Evidence | Effective |
0645d456a86f | F245631F4D97 | The development of human society as a whole is told by its children and those who can help cultivate the young. Teacher-designed project would provide students a strong foundation for the year to come, it stops students from being lazy and wasting their talents, and helps teachers formulate a more precise teaching curriculum for their students. These examples alone show that summer projects
NEED
to be teacher-designed to insure the betterment of the young generation. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
0c668cd90553 | F25BA634ADDD | Would you travel to a dangerous enviorment just to unravel the unknown ? if your answer was "no", then you are like most normal people. but, the author of "The Challenge of exploring Venus" wouldn't take "no" as a answer. | Lead | Adequate |

ba0d405ac984 | F25BA634ADDD | According to paragraph 4 it states "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth."(TCOEV), Which fueled the minds of the scientists , because they just wanna know what was on the surface of venus. | Evidence | Adequate |
7c014d102934 | F25BA634ADDD | But, with a goal there is also road bumps, one of them is the fact that venus enviorment is crucial. | Claim | Adequate |
6b69fea132af | F25BA634ADDD | According to paragraph 3 it states venus has a "thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus ... temperatures average over 800 degress...liquefy many metals."(TCOEV), which is extremely dangerous. | Evidence | Adequate |
848d59d81f3c | F25BA634ADDD | But later in the article they stated "venus have value...expandes to meet very edges of imagination and innovation" which show that they can gain knowledge in later visits, and advance their technolgy. | Evidence | Adequate |
d6b933560e6b | F25BA634ADDD | The author of 'The Challenge Of Exploring Venus" explaines why studying Venus is helpful in many ways. Even though you might say "what if the people get injured or possibly die | Claim | Adequate |

ea10ad294db5 | F280DC36C974 | Yes you can see how that person is "feeling by looking at their face,"

1e1fa1085729 | F2A3BE5019F0 | The face is not created by aliens and here are a few reasons why. | Position | Adequate |
a172b4a402f5 | F2A3BE5019F0 | It was a mesa | Claim | Adequate |
3e724a49fc67 | F2A3BE5019F0 | maybe even a shadow | Claim | Adequate |
1d1e0cdc7495 | F2A3BE5019F0 | First, A mesa, a mesa is a very common landform found around the American West | Claim | Adequate |
afaf8c8c1924 | F2A3BE5019F0 | Even so there is one in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, USA. Which is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on mars. If something on the earth can have a mesa about or the same height had the face on mars it is very likely that it was a mesa.
| Evidence | Adequate |
214ef67d1899 | F2A3BE5019F0 | Secondly, shadows We all knows that shadows can be very deceiving just like in this instance | Claim | Adequate |
81aafc967519 | F2A3BE5019F0 | A shadow could have been reflecting off the viking 1 while it was taking this photo of the "Face", or maybe the shadows were from a bigger land form. that was infront, behind, or on the sides casting a shadow onto this mesa. | Evidence | Ineffective |
e1051770a549 | F2A3BE5019F0 | All in all, From these facts you can conclude that this was a natural landform and not some type of alien thing. If you still do not believe that it was natural. Another spaceship went into space and found the "Face" and took a very detailed picture and there were no markings or signs of aliens. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
556fcbb7825f | F2A79A33B020 | Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing unatural about the supposed "Face on Mars". Though many would like to believe in the supernatural, this oddity is nothing but a rock formation. There are several reasons as to why the theory of aliens making this formation is preposterous, each reason stronger than the previous. | Position | Effective |
5e6678ac17fc | F2A79A33B020 | First and foremost, if these photos of the alleged face were the work of possible Martians, NASA would have found further evidence by now. | Claim | Effective |
7334a5ed29d1 | F2A79A33B020 | Even if the cameras used to take these pictures weren't of the highest quality, said cameras would have been able to at least catch some photos of further signs of life. Things such as houses or buildings, for example. Now, if some one would like to argue that the aliens lived in caves or other natural formations of the sort, how would those people like to argue the fact that there are no visible creatures in any photos? Do they expect people to believe that every living thing on Mars decided to hide from a satelite they would not even be able to see from the surface? | Evidence | Effective |
73b84686bcac | F2A79A33B020 | Additionally, even if NASA had found this further evidence, why would the company try to hide it? | Claim | Effective |
2d04d19a0ed1 | F2A79A33B020 | Not only would releasing such infrormation to the public leave NASA with all sorts of world renouned achievements, it would be more than beneficial for the company's financial standpoint. Releasing statements as big as signs of life on Mars would do wonders for the company. The more achievements, the more sponsors will see the potential in investing money in a program such as NASA. Adding to that, the more sponsors, the more projects NASA can fund, and by extension, the more the foundation will be able to learn and teach the public. | Evidence | Effective |
81288fe601fd | F2A79A33B020 | Probably the most obvious piece of evidence that busts the idea of unknown life, is that these photos were taken in 1976 (according to paragraph 5 of Unmasking the Face on Mars) . Technology at that time was still fairly primitive, especially for space travel. | Claim | Effective |
8e47955f2bbc | F2A79A33B020 | The photo just happened to be taken at the right time, at the right angle, by a pilgrim piece of technology. Further pictures, such as the ones taken in 2001, reveal that the "face" is just a mesa, with next to no details that resemble that of a human complextion. Think of it as the
"...Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho..." (paragraph 12) | Evidence | Adequate |
c03a7f7792fa | F2A79A33B020 | this "face" on Mars is no different from other conspiracies. | Claim | Adequate |
716266000b1f | F2A79A33B020 | Things like the picture of the Loch Ness Moster, the famous photo that was confirmed to be faked. Another good example is the "Bigfoot" craze. Both cases are similar to this one because all are just photos that are hard to be certain about, that sparked international interest. Not only are they similar that way, but each one has been debunked with solid evidence. | Evidence | Effective |
e0a51fff7539 | F2A79A33B020 | The face on Mars is simply a clump of rock, nothing to be even slightly concerned about. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
d04c7952928f | F2AE26666823 | The challenges of exploring Venus can be worthly pursuit but dangers can be presented. | Position | Adequate |
6742a93e09de | F2AE26666823 | One postive example of
Venus is called the evening star is one the brightest ponits of light in the night sky making it simple for even an amater stragazer to spot | Evidence | Ineffective |
2df86fcf8e10 | F2AE26666823 | The reason we explore or visit other plants its because the human curioity will likely lead us to many other discovers | Claim | Adequate |
97bc35250b08 | F2AE26666823 | A not so postive example is just imagine living on Venus and not having electronics lets put an eample just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. | Evidence | Adequate |
e884e5eab7b3 | F2AE26666823 | Second Venus is called the earth twins. why do you ask? Earth in terms of density and size and occasionally the closet in distance too. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7bb04f20d002 | F2AE26666823 | Earth and Venus and Mars are other planetary neighbor who they orbit the sun at different speeds.
The difference in speed from earth to venus is that sometimes we are closer to mars and other times to venus is close to earth | Evidence | Ineffective |
3d1cdbb31088 | F2AE26666823 | A negavtive reason Venus has a thick atomosphere of almost 97 perecent carbon dioxide blankets venus. Another challange is that that the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atomshere | Evidence | Adequate |
10891fd55c5f | F2AE26666823 | The conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth | Claim | Adequate |
4591ba6bf1d4 | F2AE26666823 | A reason why humanity is exploring venus because it once have been earth like planet in our planet | Claim | Adequate |
d23ccfb96d3a | F2AE26666823 | A long time ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life | Evidence | Adequate |
3752b1d4a34d | F2AE26666823 | This shows the dangers Venus has and the if it worthly to discovered | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
aceb7a7acec1 | F2B86853339B | Growing up in the more modern times I see many things that would seem almost impossible to someone not born in this time. Cars are becoming more advanced than ever. | Lead | Adequate |
5313c4d14355 | F2B86853339B | Although they have their advantages, the use of cars also has many disadvantages. | Position | Adequate |
8cfde4ea838e | F2B86853339B | They polute the air and they can be very dangerous. | Evidence | Effective |
fc398a2d9c4d | F2B86853339B | The pros of cars are by far outweighed by the cons, if you look at them in the long run. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7598ca8a3271 | F2B86853339B | Limiting car use could preserve the earth | Claim | Adequate |
589c5ba58193 | F2B86853339B | relieve stress, | Claim | Adequate |
a298b518edce | F2B86853339B | and reduce the amount of overweight people in America .
| Claim | Adequate |
6809db3c2b37 | F2B86853339B | Although cars make everyday life easier, lessening the use of them could potentially "save the world." | Claim | Effective |
b55e77e8798f | F2B86853339B | Polution is at an all time high and car emissions are largely to blame. In paragraph five it states that, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Euope... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." This is saying that the emissions from cars are destroying the earth. Though going to the grocery store that is two miles away may seem easier by just hoping in the car and arriving in less than five minutes, walking or biking would be better for you and the environment. Many cities are even focusing on becoming more "pedestrian friendly" to help boost the enthusiasm of cutting the use of cars. Walking is not the only option either, using hybrid cars, carpooling, or public transportation is also an option. Though still involving the use of cars, emissions would be reduced greatly. Also, emissions can cause sickness. In large cities where cars are depended on there is Smog. Smog is a thick black cloud of pollution that hangs in the air over large ciies. Smog can make you very sick if you injest it. Many people in cities that do have smog have to wear face masks when walking outside. I do not think that face masks are a new trend that everyone would like to start wearing. Lessening the use of cars around us would be a healthy step towards restoring our environment and could start a trend for others to do so aswell. | Evidence | Effective |
0756a29287cc | F2B86853339B | Another advantage of cutting the use of cars would be less accidents | Claim | Effective |
f667209e1a2d | F2B86853339B | Thousands of car related accidents happen every minute around the world in automobiles. If everyone started walking, biking, or using pubilc transportation less cars would be on the road leading to less accidents. Families lose loved ones everyday just because the driver of the car isnt paying attention | Evidence | Effective |
d054c54148a4 | F2B86853339B | Drivers have many extra responisbilities when opperating the vehicle. They have to watch everything around them, including being responsible for everyone else in the car. | Evidence | Effective |
fcbfa8a317c9 | F2B86853339B | Many people have reported being "less stressed" after they lowered the use of cars. | Claim | Effective |
e59c34aff2f9 | F2B86853339B | Heidrun Walter said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," when talking about moving to a car free community. Thousands are converting to the trend of using the car less and others are cutting the use completely! Following this trend would be a large benefit to yourself and the enviornment around you. | Evidence | Effective |
fc70e417d6a4 | F2B86853339B | Lastly, America is known for being obese and cars support this idea. Cars make it easy for someone to get places without putting any physical work into it. Cars encourage people to be lazy | Evidence | Effective |
5bc0f1139153 | F2B86853339B | Lowering the use of cars and walking more would help reduce the percent of people that are overweight in our country | Claim | Effective |
81ba68292123 | F2B86853339B | Instead of wanting to get in the car and drive to do something they could walk and get some excercise or even take a bike if they wanted to get there faster. Walking and biking are low intensity excercises making it easy for everyone to participate. Many overweight people always feel lathargic, getting out and walking or biking would also help them to feel better. Doing this would help our people and environtment become more heatlhy. | Evidence | Effective |
d327d73dc47d | F2B86853339B | Cars are a great invention but it is not necessary for every individual to have one. Walking and biking are better alternatives. The use of cars has gone through the roof creating problems around the world. A healthy environment for our children and grandchildren is what we imagine. One does not think of using a car as damaging to the enviornment until after they have done it. Limiting car usage would turn the world into a healthier, stress reduced place. For these reasons I think it would be of best interest to try and find other alternatives to driving as much. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
7cfa01663f36 | F2C57EEEF02C | Education is critical at any age, but especially to those who remain still in grade school. Taking time off such as summer break, poses issues for teaches to make sure their students are still growing their knowledge on this time off. Many school have begun to introduce summer assignments to their students as an attempt to decrease this time that is spent not completely focused on school. | Lead | Effective |
c9e02b074169 | F2C57EEEF02C | Although many believe that these projects should be driven by the teacher, students should be the one to design these projects | Position | Effective |

999bdda991aa | F2C57EEEF02C | By giving students the opportunity to design their own projects, they get the chance to display their creativity. | Claim | Effective |
f7ed71aa6d03 | F2C57EEEF02C | This topic of creativity is important because it is what separates peers from each other so that not one person is the same. Each student has their own style that is different from those around which is what makes them unique. When student driven projects are created, it forces those who complete the project to think outside of the box. This is significant because it is what grows the knowledge of each student; by doing this they are learning the new material as the project is being completed. By implementing these sort of projects the students creativity is apparent because teachers are not giving the student the task; rather the student is the one designing and completing the assignment all on their own. Creativity is an essential piece to the puzzle of learning for children and by creating student-designed projects, each child will benefit across the board. | Evidence | Effective |
11fe7e3f8e20 | F2C57EEEF02C | When projects are given by teachers, especially over the summer, students are not motivated to complete the task. | Claim | Effective |
e8f080b5941f | F2C57EEEF02C | Over summer break, many students just want to be able to relax and not do work that they may have little interest in that has been assigned by their teacher. By having student-driven projects, it gives students an opportunity to create something that they are passionate about. This is important because when a student is passionate about what they are working on, it creates motivation for them to complete the assignment. A student is highly likely to complete an assignment that they are involved in because it is relative to their life. Many projects that are handed around by teachers have little to no relevance to the lives of students. If students get the opportunity to create their own assignment, they will feel a sense of pride because they are passionate about the topic. This leads to greater motivation internally for any student which leads to better overall results. | Evidence | Effective |
c6a8ff82de96 | F2C57EEEF02C | Material that has been researched by the student and completed on their own has been proven to show greater results in the grade attached to the project. When an assignment has been handed to a student to complete that has been created by someone else, they are likely only to do the minimum of what has been assigned. By doing this they are not able to gain full knowledge of the topic and fully understand what is going on | Evidence | Effective |
c9553652ccfb | F2C57EEEF02C | On the flip side, when a student has to design a project on their own and research the material, they gain a greater understanding of the task at hand. | Claim | Effective |
8bfbb6e8009c | F2C57EEEF02C | By having little to no teacher involvement, it forces students to have to learn the material all on their own which has been proven that the student retains the information longer. This does not just help students for this topic, but helps them in life as well because if they are able to learn on their own they will be able to hold all of this information instead of just retaining it for one assignment and then being done with it after. In the end, student-driven projects causes students to better understand the material for not only one project. | Evidence | Effective |
5e9088bd999a | F2C57EEEF02C | Although some may say that teachers should be the ones to design summer projects for their students | Counterclaim | Adequate |
75328742e8db | F2C57EEEF02C | it is not in the students best interest for this to take place. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
9fc703086b70 | F2C57EEEF02C | By creating student driven projects, many students get the opportunity to show off what they can do without being confined into the same box as their peers. For them, it is a way to stand out among those students around them. When the student can create something that they are passionate about, they will want to complete it to the best of their ability. But, since they are learning this material on their own, they are more likely to have a strong foundation on the topic which is only something that is beneficial to them in the end. By schools implementing student-designed summer projects, their students will be better off in the end. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
