fa227deecff2	2AE0D00CAD7D	Since this planet has a rain season and has a very windy winter, it could've been made by weathering and erosion. Another thing that makes me believe that the face is just a rock is because the dark eyes, nose, and mouth look like shadows from the camera and the sun. One last thing about the face is that if alien lifeform made this why woud they make it 2 miles wide? This has just been one side of the argument, I will write the rest.	Evidence	Adequate
fc602069b48d	2AE0D00CAD7D	I think that this face is made by alien lifeform because it really looks a face.	Counterclaim	Ineffective
4c817b9b32bd	2AE0D00CAD7D	This face could've possibly been a temple or worshiping place for these lifeforms long ago. It could've been a tomb for their leader or king that might've died. If these aliens were going to make a rock this big and that wide it would be for someone or something to catch it's eye. So aliens could've made this or they might not have.	Evidence	Ineffective
fded7955c084	2AE0D00CAD7D	I think that ultimately this is just a coincidence because if aliens are real or were real we would have got aa picture of one or saw some remains of one. And the rock is probably just a mesa or a big landform that was made by weathering and erosion. The face of the rock is most likely just shadows from the camera angle and the sun. And another thing, when the camera passed over the mesa, it was a cloudy and rainy day, making the camera lens wet.	Rebuttal	Adequate

20833d69c6ee	2AE0D00CAD7D	The proof is in the article and it would have been noticed in the pictures if there was aliens living on Mars. So the non-alien side wins this argument over this one. The rock is not a face it is a normal rock.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

d863083c5f22	2B1C42B1F534	why i think that we should keep it how it is because is concissed of it concissed of 538 electors and the majority of 270 elector votes is required to elect the president. your state is required to allotment of the electors to equal the number od members in its Congerssional delgation. Under the 23 Amendment the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors. each canidate running for state has the there own group of electors. Electors are genarall choosen by the politial party. you or who ever is voteing helps choose your states electors when you vote. but when you vote for your candidate you ae actually voting for you candidates electors.

116d3b7be5b7	2B1C42B1F534	Richard Nixon, Jimmy carter, Bob Dole, and plenty of oothers think that it should change because according to a gallup poll in 2000 taken shortlyafer Al Gore he wonn the popular vote but lost the presidency dur to the quirks of the electoral college. in the Electoral College system people vote not for the prresident but for a slate of electors as i had said in the last pargrraph who in turn elect or the president. electors could be anyon not holding public office. voters sometimes control who there electors vote for. wich makes the voters sometimes get confsed about the electors wich makes them vote for the wrong candidate. In the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in the centery. in 1960 segegaters in Louisiana legslater nearly suceeddin replacing Democratic electora with new electors. So that the popular vote for Kennedy woulld not have actually gone to Kennedy.

1c80d831d78d	2B53D5D29EAE	The idea of making school policy that you have to have at least a grade average of a B is a good idea, but you would have more of your star players ineligible to play because of grades.	Lead	Ineffective

b8ac2aad9a95	2B557F0EF764	In education we always have a choice to choose rather we get our education at home or through public and private school but which one is the right choice ? Throughout this essay we will explore the pros and cons on which one is the more beneficial choice. Many kids in life go to public schools since the start of their education life but there are those that choose to get education at home. A child's personality also adds on to what the better choice might be for that certain individual. There are a lot of benefits and non-benefits to having a student attend classes from home.

15fc287eca9a	2B557F0EF764	Many students in attending classes from home will face not being motivated to get their work done and also face a lack of support through difficult learning periods. Having classes at home would make being motivated to learn much harder than attending classes in school	Claim	Effective
28b9bd4da98e	2B557F0EF764	We all at one point no longer want to continue trying to grasp how important it is to learn and be educated but with support from teachers and others we find it more insuring to continue learning and broaden our education. Learning certain lessons that are hard to comprehend without support is a difficult task. Students at home would be prone to more likely give up and not try as hard to understand the material. Unlike a student in a classroom with peers around that can help and that extra assistance of a teacher there to explain. Everyone needs that extra push in difficult times with classes at home there would be no one to constantly keep us on task and help us learn. The lack of motivation and support that is much needed are reasons on why classes from home are not beneficial to students.	Evidence	Effective
51be291db13b	2B557F0EF764	People will argue that some benefits of attending classes from home is better by stating that it prevents students from being bullied and gives students a better environment.	Counterclaim	Effective
798dd876d649	2B557F0EF764	Kids of all age face the chance of being bullied in their education years. There will be a chance of a student being pulled regardless of the learning environment. At home away from others may seem like it will prevent bullying but it won't. Through social media kids can be targeted and parents may not always know that this is happening because kids won't know what to do	Evidence	Effective
9a71c37e4b7a	2B557F0EF764	Attending classes in school will teach students important lessons on what to do in these cases. They make students aware of bullying that can either happen in school or online and give them lessons on what to do and seek help. With classes at home kids will not know what to do and stay quiet thinking that there is no way out of a bullying situation.	Rebuttal	Effective
7f6562a7808e	2B557F0EF764	A good environment is always wanted for a child who is getting their education but an environment at home even though it looks beneficial may not always be the case. Having a student attend classes at home takes their chances of learning social skills that are gained through public schools and interactions. Through classes in schools students learn to work with others and gain skills that will help in the future with co-workers and everyday life. Classes at home make an oppressive environment where a student doesn't gain these skills which in the end will effect how well they can interact with others in society. In the end, attending classes in school is much better than online because of how it helps with bullying and teaches student important social skills.	Evidence	Effective

19ca569e80e5	2B557F0EF764	In life we always struggle to learn new things about ourselves and broaden who we are. Through challenges students face in school and the friends they make better help them understand who they are and develop their identities. Interactions in schools, different friend groups, and learning about the world in classes with others help students shape their identities. Students learn new perspectives from others and get to choose whether to agree or disagree but with online classes we don't have all these opportunities that help students develop their identities and broaden who they are.

637c62549940	2B557F0EF764	These classes in different areas help students learn about who they are and gives them a chance to explore and also give them social skills. Online classes restricts a student from exploring and learning what they like or dislike to do which will have negative effects when they seek a career. Attending classes from home is not beneficial because it keeps a student from developing their identities and learning about themselves.	Evidence	Effective
2e7304098032	2B557F0EF764	Students will face many hardships in life but through going to school and attending classes in school they will learn valuable lessons and learn about themselves. A student will face being unmotivated but with help support from peers and teachers they will get through those times. Online classes are not beneficial to a student because it prevents them from gaining social skills and makes it harder from them to go out in the world. Even though, it may seem like online classes will prevent bullying and be a better environment that is not the case. It will hurt the student more by them not knowing what to do in cases of being bullied and also keeping them in an oppressive environment away from others. Classes in school help shape a students identity, helps them learn about themselves, and the world. In conclusion, attending classes from home is not more beneficial because of the lack of motivation, lack of support, and how it doesn't help shape a students identity. What do you think is more beneficial for a student online classes or classes in school?	Concluding Statement	Effective

Also the betray can cost the presdient election dearly for instance Bradford stated " back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. kennedy.(So that a popular vote for kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy)". In other words the electors can ruin the president campaign and may cost most of the states problems.	Evidence	Effective

c3149970e15d	2B7612A3D793	Source 2 quoted " Because of the -take- all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states. Even though you would like to vote for your campaign the electors may not even visit other sates because they may think the other campaign has a better shot at getting more votes, but they do not know that maybe spoken words for the president may get more votes. also many may not even see any ad for the campaign, for example " During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." The author explains that many electors don't even see most staes because they are small states and they may not get as much votes compared to larger states.	Evidence	Effective
d4614c4006f6	2B7612A3D793	Electoral College should be abolished because the electors may help ruin the president election and large states are not vistied or spoken to from the president other than small states. Electoral college may seem an unfair disadvantage for most voters many of their campaign that they want to win can be rather at a disadvantage or advantage depending on their electors, many electors may betray their campaign because they're not pubilicly held in office. Lastly the disadvantage is that many voters want to see what and how they are going to change or improve their well being, but most electors and campaigns do not visit the states that want view and know the candidates better. The electoral College should be abolished for the matter of the voter and the United States of America. In my opinion we should be allowed to vote on our own, for example instead of voting for an elector we should just vote on the type of campagin whose better and meet our daily bases needs.

Since this planet has a rain season and has a very windy winter, it could've been made by weathering and erosion. Another thing that makes me believe that the face is just a rock is because the dark eyes, nose, and mouth look like shadows from the camera and the sun. One last thing about the face is that if alien lifeform made this why woud they make it 2 miles wide? This has just been one side of the argument, I will write the rest.

I think that ultimately this is just a coincidence because if aliens are real or were real we would have got aa picture of one or saw some remains of one. And the rock is probably just a mesa or a big landform that was made by weathering and erosion. The face of the rock is most likely just shadows from the camera angle and the sun. And another thing, when the camera passed over the mesa, it was a cloudy and rainy day, making the camera lens wet.

In the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in the centery. in 1960 segegaters in Louisiana legslater nearly suceeddin replacing Democratic electora with new electors.

Many kids in life go to public schools since the start of their education life but there are those that choose to get education at home.

We all at one point no longer want to continue trying to grasp how important it is to learn and be educated but with support from teachers and others we find it more insuring to continue learning and broaden our education. Learning certain lessons that are hard to comprehend without support is a difficult task. Students at home would be prone to more likely give up and not try as hard to understand the material. Unlike a student in a classroom with peers around that can help and that extra assistance of a teacher there to explain. Everyone needs that extra push in difficult times with classes at home there would be no one to constantly keep us on task and help us learn.

A good environment is always wanted for a child who is getting their education but an environment at home even though it looks beneficial may not always be the case. Having a student attend classes at home takes their chances of learning social skills that are gained through public schools and interactions. Through classes in schools students learn to work with others and gain skills that will help in the future with co-workers and everyday life. Classes at home make an oppressive environment where a student doesn't gain these skills which in the end will effect how well they can interact with others in society. In the end, attending classes in school is much better than online because of how it helps with bullying and teaches student important social skills.

Students will face many hardships in life but through going to school and attending classes in school they will learn valuable lessons and learn about themselves.

Online classes are not beneficial to a student because it prevents them from gaining social skills and makes it harder from them to go out in the world. Even though, it may seem like online classes will prevent bullying and be a better environment that is not the case. It will hurt the student more by them not knowing what to do in cases of being bullied and also keeping them in an oppressive environment away from others. Classes in school help shape a students identity, helps them learn about themselves, and the world. In conclusion, attending classes from home is not more beneficial because of the lack of motivation, lack of support, and how it doesn't help shape a students identity.

Source 2 quoted " Because of the -take- all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states. Even though you would like to vote for your campaign the electors may not even visit other sates because they may think the other campaign has a better shot at getting more votes, but they do not know that maybe spoken words for the president may get more votes. also many may not even see any ad for the campaign, for example " During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." The author explains that many electors don't even see most staes because they are small states and they may not get as much votes compared to larger states.

Electoral College should be abolished because the electors may help ruin the president election and large states are not vistied or spoken to from the president other than small states. Electoral college may seem an unfair disadvantage for most voters many of their campaign that they want to win can be rather at a disadvantage or advantage depending on their electors, many electors may betray their campaign because they're not pubilicly held in office. Lastly the disadvantage is that many voters want to see what and how they are going to change or improve their well being, but most electors and campaigns do not visit the states that want view and know the candidates better. The electoral College should be abolished for the matter of the voter and the United States of America. In my opinion we should be allowed to vote on our own, for example instead of voting for an elector we should just vote on the type of campagin whose better and meet our daily bases needs.

As said in Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral Collage: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong, "Back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. This dosnt even sound right does it... This is one example of United States government trying to rail the presidential elections, and i can asure you that this is not the first time this has been attempted by the government. The U.S Constitution delcares that ALL citizens of United States of America have the right to vote. What this looks like is the government trying to vote for us
