afc5c00b8537	2EDC00346850	For example, many of the athletes with averages below B would have a reason to bring their grade up, or else they won't be able to participate in the activity that they love. All of the athletes would change their priorities so that school comes first. This rule would encourage students to do better in school so that they can participate in the activities that they love. They would have a goal of achieving a B average, and applying themselves to achieve that goal. Overall, a requirement of a B average to participate in sports and other activities would be logical to put into play because it encourages students to do well in school and bring their grades up.	Evidence	Adequate
fc1bcf9ee328	2EDC00346850	With a requirement of a B average to participate in extracurricular activities, more students would have the goal of achieving a B average. As a result, less students would be failing their courses do to lack of effort or time. With more students with a higher average, the school would look better in terms of grades. Now that their is a requirement of a B average to participate in sports, music, or another activity, the school would have much smarter students. As a result, these students would be sent to better colleges. This would make the school less known for its bad things, but more well-known for its high academic prestige. This requirement would be the most reasonable choice because less students would be failing courses.	Evidence	Effective
d0bc33627358	2EDC00346850	For example, the smarter students that earn a B average or even higher would use the knowledge that they learned in the classroom and apply it onto the field. Instead of having sports teams that consisted of students who didn't make the right decisions and were failing out of their courses, the teams would consist of smart students who applied themselves to reach their goal of earning at least a B average in academics. On the field, court, or rink, the sports team would be making much smarter plays, and ultimately becoming more successful.	Evidence	Adequate
1c77f0c32055	2EDC00346850	The time has come to decide whether or not to make a requirement of a B average amongst students in order to participate in sports or other activities. This requirement would be beneficial to our school's community because it would encourage students to do well in the classroom, more students would have a B or higher grade average, and the sports teams would be much smarter and more successful as a result. So, Mr. Principal, go and make a requirement of a B or higher grade average in order to participate in sports or other activities!	Concluding Statement	Effective

20120ba7bf67	2EF823A45135	There are millions of wrecks in the U.S. every year, some due to their own cars not being very reliable. Cars and their manufacurers must be very reliable when it comes to bringing up new models of vehicles. Imagine if you could cut the number of car wrecks in half.

0358196d51f9	2EF823A45135	A driverless car could possibly stop different aspects of accidents happening. They could even get someone where they need to go. These cars can also help people who barely passed their driver's tests. The car could perform even the most basic stuff, such as, driving through the city, making turns, driving the steering wheel itself, and watching for dangerous things a new or inexperienced driver could not do. Being a new driver can be very challening at first and may even bring a traumatic experience. Coming off as a new driver and only having my license for three months, I know what the pressure can feel like when you feel like you havent learned soemthing and you are already on your own.

The car could fail out of nowhere with no warning signs and even cost someone their life. Though there have been studies, a driverless car could have a potential downfall affect on drivers. Some could feel like they can be lazy and not have to worry about their surroundings and cause an accident that way; A person could even fall asleep at the wheel and do more damage than good. Some states make it illegal to even drive computer-type cars because of a law they have.	Evidence	Effective
789196a9df6f	2EF823A45135	Driverless cars come with baggage on both sides of good and bad, but with a little more knowledge and research it could change someone's opinion overtime. They could potentially save someone's life and other people surrounding them. They could save a new driver's life and could even help them learn all of the skills of the road. With the new techonology we have in this new future, we could cut the wreck numbers in half to seventy five percent. Driverless cars are not a bad idea and they could possibly save this world.

1e0096cedda8	2F5D1019C0DC	A presidential candidate that wins by a large majority in a state will win the electoral votes of that state, however, if another candidate wins a very close election, he/she will also win a state. For example, in the 2000 presidential election between Al Gore and President Bush, Al Gore won the popular vote of the people but lost the election for president because of the electoral college, the very fact that we know what the popular vote was is proof of neccesity of change. Not only this, but sixty percent of voters want to vote directly. This makes it possible for a candidate to have more individual votes but less electoral votes, making the system somewhat corrupt.

83912af6c22a	2F5D1019C0DC	The electoral college was a great idea before computers were invented and all votes had to be counted by hand.

The fact that we know immediatly is proof that the meeting of the Electoral college in December is completely unnessessary. And what if there is a tie in the elctoral vote, although we know what the popular vote is, we would still have to send the vote to congress.	Evidence	Effective

If there was something that would harm you while in the driverless car, the car would either be able to get out of the situation more effectively than an experienced driver, or would be able to alert the driver to take over and the driver would manually get out of the situation. In the passage it says that the Google driverless cars contain many sensors. Some of those sensors include, the sensor on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor.

This source is arguing against the Electoral college, meaning they're trying to make a point on why it's not fair that Obama won with his 61.7 percent. The people vote for their electoral college, for their state. If the electoral college's votes are higher than the popular votes that means that the college is doing their job correctly. Source 3 also states, "... Because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral- vote victory in that state." This statement means that even if the popular and electoral votes are both high, the electoral vote wins, because majority rules. Just because the person running for office is popular, doesnt mean they should necessarily win. Electoral votes basically come from the people, and if the "people" choose a certain candidate, then that's who should win.	Evidence	Effective

For instance, if the people vote for candidates for the electoral college, and the majority of them are not what the majority of the people wanted, or they lied about being pledged to a candidate for president, then there is still a chance that the candidate that the people did want could be elected, by the national popular vote. Also, the people that are against the electoral college shouldn't be, because the electoral college is not definite.

For example, many of the athletes with averages below B would have a reason to bring their grade up, or else they won't be able to participate in the activity that they love. All of the athletes would change their priorities so that school comes first. This rule would encourage students to do better in school so that they can participate in the activities that they love. They would have a goal of achieving a B average, and applying themselves to achieve that goal. Overall, a requirement of a B average to participate in sports and other activities would be logical to put into play because it encourages students to do well in school and bring their grades up.

With a requirement of a B average to participate in extracurricular activities, more students would have the goal of achieving a B average. As a result, less students would be failing their courses do to lack of effort or time. With more students with a higher average, the school would look better in terms of grades. Now that their is a requirement of a B average to participate in sports, music, or another activity, the school would have much smarter students. As a result, these students would be sent to better colleges. This would make the school less known for its bad things, but more well-known for its high academic prestige. This requirement would be the most reasonable choice because less students would be failing courses.

For example, the smarter students that earn a B average or even higher would use the knowledge that they learned in the classroom and apply it onto the field. Instead of having sports teams that consisted of students who didn't make the right decisions and were failing out of their courses, the teams would consist of smart students who applied themselves to reach their goal of earning at least a B average in academics. On the field, court, or rink, the sports team would be making much smarter plays, and ultimately becoming more successful.

If there was something that would harm you while in the driverless car, the car would either be able to get out of the situation more effectively than an experienced driver, or would be able to alert the driver to take over and the driver would manually get out of the situation. In the passage it says that the Google driverless cars contain many sensors.

Source 3 states, "In 2012's election... Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3% of the popular votes cast for him and Romney." This source is arguing against the Electoral college, meaning they're trying to make a point on why it's not fair that Obama won with his 61.7 percent. The people vote for their electoral college, for their state. If the electoral college's votes are higher than the popular votes that means that the college is doing their job correctly. Source 3 also states, "... Because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral- vote victory in that state." This statement means that even if the popular and electoral votes are both high, the electoral vote wins, because majority rules. Just because the person running for office is popular, doesnt mean they should necessarily win. Electoral votes basically come from the people, and if the "people" choose a certain candidate, then that's who should win.

Source 2 states, "Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." This method of choosing the president is completely and totally fair to the people.

No, they're not directly choosing who the president is

but they have people to do it for them. As long as they cast in the right vote for the party that that candidate represents, then the Electoral college board should be filled with all the right people.

Source 3 states, "...each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that truth is barely betrayed)... however it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote." For instance, if the people vote for candidates for the electoral college, and the majority of them are not what the majority of the people wanted, or they lied about being pledged to a candidate for president, then there is still a chance that the candidate that the people did want could be elected, by the national popular vote. Also, the people that are against the electoral college shouldn't be, because the electoral college is not definite. Just because the electoral colleg votes for a certain candidate, does not guarantee that the overall national vote will be that person.

because the college is fair to the people -because they represent the people- and the college is a smart idea. The college works in everyone's favor. For those that disagree, there is always a strong chance that the candidate represented by the elctoral college will not win presidency.

In conclusion, the Electoral college is beneficial to the people and a wise idea. The people in the entire country are never going to unanimously agree on anything. Keeping the Electoral college is not only wise, but a safe way to ensure that voting doesn't go wrong, and that the people always get a fair say in government matters.

It is a very stressful situation for those students that have fallen ill to catch up to their peers. Missing out on a proper education due to something that could not be controlled is a very stressful situation in it of itself. There are parents that force their kids to go to school despite being sick, putting other students at risk of illness and not giving the sick student a proper learning experience. It gets even worse for those unfortunately inflicted with terminal illness, who must miss school for long periods at a time

However, parents would not have to worry about bringing their sick child to school, because school could bring itself to their sick child through a more flexible method of learning online. This could potentially help eliminate the problem of diseases spreading at schools that offer this option, and making it easier for students to learn despite their ill state.
