26670de053e4 | 4E2B21AF8C1D | Why they invent Facial Action Coding System? | Lead | Ineffective |
b853950581cd | 4E2B21AF8C1D | Well in my personal opinion this is a good experiment for student, family, etc, | Position | Adequate |
74d6929d41c4 | 4E2B21AF8C1D | because sometimes people do not want show they emotions or feeling, for example: | Claim | Adequate |
b491cbe4f41e | 4E2B21AF8C1D | If a girl of school that has depression or personal problems and she do not want talk abaut that with her teacher or consuler and this girl is thinking in kill herself, if the school have the Facial Action Coding System the professor can save her life, that a great experiment, but one thing is all school can't have it because are expense so this experiment can't help to all students or families that need.
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, the Dr. Huang says "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal" he is trying to said that they experiment is not just for people, he is says that is universal so that mean is for all that have face or that the Facial Action Cording System can read emotions for example:The Facial Action can read the Renaissance painting, Mona Lisa. | Evidence | Adequate |
2a1f311058f1 | 4E2B21AF8C1D | In conclusion the
Facial Action Coding System is a veryy good option for school they can saves lifes, and evit masacres of students with that Facial Action and be a major country. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
58f9d175aab7 | 4E2D058C025D | I think the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) should be used in classrooms because it would help to see the emotions of kids. | Position | Adequate |
ab404ef94c8a | 4E2D058C025D | Like see if they need help or if they aren't feeling good. Mostly things like that. You could also use it to see if kids are lying or not when they get in trouble and have to go to the principle or when they get in trouble at home. | Evidence | Adequate |
754221362e89 | 4E2D058C025D | Mona Lisa: 83% happy, 9% disgusted , 6% fearful, and 3% angry! When Mona Lisa was painted in 1503 we had no clue how she was really feeling. But with the FACS it is now easy to see how she was feeling. That is a good thing because it could help us in the future with life or death situations. | Evidence | Ineffective |
5bf8eb6966f6 | 4E2D058C025D | When we ask questions like "Can we actually 'calculate' emotions like we calculate math problems? or "How can a simple computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans have to use and show how we feel? shows that we humans need this type of cool technology in the future to make things easier than what they are nowadays! | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
5b51003231e3 | 4EBE610AF54A | Would it be safe to travle to Venus or what about to colect some samples of Venus like rocks,gasses or other things in Venus? Have people wounder how is Venus and is it simliller or different to Earth | Lead | Adequate |
1e35e20a8899 | 4EBE610AF54A | We know that Venus is a planet and that Venus is closest to Earth but some poeple might not know how danger Venus has. Has any people or a ship landed on Venus or expernece how Venus feels or looks like on ground. Is it is real worth going to Venus and expercence there conditions or find any life forms in Venus? | Position | Ineffective |
81bd770abe61 | 4EBE610AF54A | Venus Is a similler planet like Earth but only its density and size of the planet. | Claim | Adequate |
1adc874aafaf | 4EBE610AF54A | Venus Is a Extreme planet, the conditions on Venus are bad, in Venus almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets Venus. The clouds in Venus are different, there clouds of highly corrosive sulfuir acid is in the atmosphere. On Venus the surface temperatuer avage is 800 degrees Fahreanheit acording to the artical. Those are some extreme temperatuers for a human and for a space craft to be stay in Venus. In Venus the pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience in Earth, humans or machines can not with stand the heat or pressure of the atmosphere. | Evidence | Adequate |
f5b147711f80 | 4EBE610AF54A | Humands cant live in these types of conditions like Venus has a person can end up dead and a machien or a ship can melt | Claim | Adequate |
bf5f7705fc16 | 4EBE610AF54A | No even a space ship or human landed on Venus in these types of conditions. Samples have not even been taken like rocks or gases because of these conditions in Venus. These types of misions can be super risky to do becasue of they extreme conditions the planet has. Earth and Venus are different, Earth has less extreme conditions than Venus dose but later on NASA is trying to find ways to see how they can have protection on there spacce ships and people to try to get some samples from Venus.
| Evidence | Adequate |
4c819b58e66f | 4EBE610AF54A | This is why and how dangerous Venus can be and how there condtions are extreme. Peopel would not risk dying to get some samples from Venus or try to go to
Venus. This why its not worth to study and analize samples of Venus and later on they can try to find better material or things to help out the space ship and humans to try to land or analize any samples from Venus. | Concluding Statement | Effective |

So you can tell they go on alot of adventures all the time because in the text it says, "It took about two weeks to cross the Atlantic ocean from the eastern coast of the United States annd a month to get to China". Luke and Don are always prepared to go to places because it says, "Katie's farm a boy came to Luke to prepare him for the for hrd work not the dangers at sea and his job was to watch the animals every hour | Evidence | Ineffective |

770eff681da1 | 4EEB3CAA6F48 | because, he tells why its important to study venus and why it is the worthy pursuit despite the dangers. | Claim | Adequate |
2ea8e47cea64 | 4EEB3CAA6F48 | The author also says ¨venuse is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size¨.They have aslo sent numerous spacecrafts and have done previouse missions. The pervious missions was unmanned. There has not been a spaceship that has touched venuse and why, the author said that gthe reason that spaceship or has not landed was becuse it would not last mor than just a few hours. | Evidence | Ineffective |
d03c354d05e5 | 4EEB3CAA6F48 | The author supports the idea that studying venus is worthy pursuit despit the dangers, because know that i read the story icould see why. | Claim | Ineffective |
8c21d9403538 | 4EEB3CAA6F48 | Venus might be dangers to go to and explore but by making spacecrafts and more andmakeing experiment it probably would not be so dangerous to send spacecraft or maybe a spaceshit to try it out again. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
7aa9207b3cbf | 4EFC8F589A83 | Knowledge, it is one of the most powerful things in the world. How do people gain knowledge? They gain information from their mentors, teachers, coaches, parents, and older siblings. People are always learning something new everyday, from how to do long division to how to make friends. The school districts are creating projects for students to do over the summer so they can continue to learn while out of school. | Lead | Adequate |
71dcb55bc10a | 4EFC8F589A83 | some say that teacher-design is better and more effective | Counterclaim | Effective |
ddd7943255f2 | 4EFC8F589A83 | student-design actually can benefit the students more | Position | Effective |
bcc40120c0dd | 4EFC8F589A83 | by opening up their imagination and also expands their creativity. | Claim | Effective |
cf5ef126585f | 4EFC8F589A83 | Summer is mean't for fun and laughter, not being kept inside all day working on a project the teacher assigned over summer break. The whole point of summer is being away from school and having a vacation. So wouldn't students prefer to do a project about something that they are passionate about? Indeed, studies show that when students do school work that they choose and are passionate about their work ends up being more creative and overall better performance. Students are just growing up and in school they aren't allowed to truly express themselves because they are either too shy or the class doesn't discuss their interests. Teenagers only want to do and listen to what they want, they don't want a teacher giving them homework over summer break not even to mention that it is not something they enjoy. | Evidence | Effective |
ed1184390dde | 4EFC8F589A83 | students grow up doing what they are told by their parents and teachers. | Evidence | Effective |
d7ad04f7cf2e | 4EFC8F589A83 | students grow up with an endless imagination and one day eventually it dies when they grow up to become adults. That is why a student-design project can end up being more beneficial than supposed to having a teacher assign the students a project where they aren't going to have fun and in the end will probably forget what the project was about. Students learn better when they do something that interests them and benefit more from that then to do a project about the presidents.
Having a teacher-design project has minimal benefits, that is why having a student-design project, which opens up great minds and can help students comprehend better what they are learning when doing something they enjoy. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
49660e140765 | 4F51DB73DF1E | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author believes that studying and exploring Venus is worth the pursuit despite the dangers it brings. | Position | Adequate |
6bf3b76a030c | 4F51DB73DF1E | The author uses facts and information to back this idea up. | Claim | Adequate |
dac8126fdc34 | 4F51DB73DF1E | The author has facts on poor conditions on Venus then gives us information and ideas on ways to overcome. | Claim | Adequate |
65034518b3b2 | 4F51DB73DF1E | The author is using a problem and solution method. | Claim | Adequate |
90b07fa98701 | 4F51DB73DF1E | The author supported the idea with facts and more ideas that would make it safer and beneficial to us if we travel to Venus for further examination | Claim | Adequate |
9212664396f3 | 4F51DB73DF1E | In the article the author talks about how Venus has really bad conditions, but they are all just challenges that can be overcome | Claim | Adequate |
81d6709d5dbb | 4F51DB73DF1E | These challenges are the main thing holding us back from exploring further. The author believes that our travels beyond Earth should'nt be limited by dangers and doubts. | Evidence | Ineffective |
079e2cc8b14a | 4F51DB73DF1E | The article also talkes about how we need longer lasting technology for further research | Claim | Adequate |
a2ea14149980 | 4F51DB73DF1E | It mentions mechanical computers and how they don't require electronics at all. The author suggests using the mechanical parts, like the ones used in the mechanical computers, and using them to create technology that will last longer on Venus. This would allow for more research. More research means better understanding of Venus which will allow for better technology to with stand the conditions. | Evidence | Adequate |
d23e9c37581d | 4F51DB73DF1E | In the paragraph above the author gives us a problem on how our technology can't survive the conditions, because the systems get fried and break. Then the author gives us a possible solution to our problem. | Claim | Adequate |
b432c770500b | 4F51DB73DF1E | The author gives us a new idea for better technology. The author uses a problem and solution to support the idea. | Evidence | Ineffective |
0ea8c42e10b5 | 4F51DB73DF1E | In conclusion, the author supported the idea well by using a problem and then giving a solution using facts and evidence. The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it represents. The author then goes on to show us that these dangers can be overcome and these dangers shouldn't stop us from exploring. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
e302fd410ed5 | 4F627C43D63F | Do you know how landforms are made | Lead | Ineffective |
78f4f58acb1c | 4F627C43D63F | The face on Mars is a landform | Position | Adequate |
60d53cbba3f7 | 4F627C43D63F | One reason I think the face is a landform, is because the sand on that planet builds up and increases into a mountain. | Claim | Ineffective |
41bc4859a054 | 4F627C43D63F | There are also astroids that strike the planet, making the planet have different size shapes on its surface. Also, there are tectonic plates to move the land.
| Evidence | Adequate |
9ad45eb1763a | 4F627C43D63F | One other reason I think it is a landform is because, if aliens were to create the enourmus structure, how would they do it and why would they do it? To me, there is no other explanation other than it was created by natural landforms | Claim | Adequate |
2d7959fb4e35 | 4F627C43D63F | Also, whos to say that aliens are real or not? It wouldnt matter because even if people said aliens are real, they would need to have evidence explaining why and how aliens accually exist | Evidence | Ineffective |
4b9b01b16840 | 4F627C43D63F | Then and only then, would I consider looking into the matter of aliens creating the structure. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
55d4fc50464b | 4FAC3B29417F | The final bell on the last day of school is a sound that is rejoiced by students and teachers alike. This bell is the signal to the beginning of summer break. While this break is usually filled with vacations, sporting events, and sleeping late, there is another key element that represents summer break for many students: the project. This project is incorporated into the summer break to assure that students continue learning. In many schools, this project is teacher-designed, resulting in uninterested and procrastinating students. In addition, many teacher-designed projects do not foster creativity. | Lead | Effective |
94cefc8effe4 | 4FAC3B29417F | These negative results of teacher-designed summer projects can be reversed by allowing student-designed projects. | Position | Effective |
fc3afa8ba368 | 4FAC3B29417F | Student-designed summer projects allow students to choose a topic that they are interested in, | Claim | Effective |
3c850f2249c7 | 4FAC3B29417F | be creative, | Claim | Effective |
b76e0750f825 | 4FAC3B29417F | enjoy learning. | Claim | Effective |
a221443dcfe7 | 4FAC3B29417F | By allowing students to choose a topic that is compelling to them, they will be driven to complete the project with their best effort | Claim | Effective |
456ff5af2f3d | 4FAC3B29417F | Students will also have the option to choose a possible career path and research it throughout the summer. | Claim | Effective |
75bf7fc15221 | 4FAC3B29417F | With their research and project, students can essentially "test drive" their intended career, instead of waiting until college to discover that they are completely uninterested in their major. For example, one student may desire to become an elementary school teacher. In her project, she decides to research how to become a teacher and the skills that the profession requires. After completing her research, she creates a binder of lesson plans that correspond with her state's standards of learning for her grade of choice. Consequently, she discovers that she truly has a passion for teaching and is reassured on her career choice through this student-designed summer project. The skills that she learned, including her lesson plans, can be used if/when she decides to become an elementary school teacher. While students are allowed to explore professional realms through student-designed summer projects, the possibilities are endless.
| Evidence | Effective |
dcba132a691e | 4FAC3B29417F | When students have the option to be creative with their project, this captures the interest of many artistic students. | Claim | Effective |
e09b180a90c4 | 4FAC3B29417F | Teacher-designed projects are mostly straightforward, and have clear right and wrong answers. As a result, there is minimal room for creativity and originality. However, student-designed projects give students the ability to create an interesting and creative project, that captivates not only their attention, but the teachers that will evaluate it the next school year. For example, a student who is very creative may choose to design a project that showcases ways to use recycled materials in art. This project not only uses their artistic and creative abilities, but it also incorporates scientific and environmental strategies. | Evidence | Effective |
ef05f9ce6960 | 4FAC3B29417F | Student-designed projects allow students to enjoy learning | Claim | Effective |
5c3ed3e4bc7b | 4FAC3B29417F | Some students who may dislike school, may discover a new found love of learning when they are given the opportunity to create the framework of their project. Students are more likely to enjoy a project on a topic that they have a passion for rather than a topic that is simply assigned to them by a teacher. Responsibility skills are also developed as a result of student-designed projects, since they not only are required to complete the project, but they also must develop the project. | Evidence | Adequate |
cf4ea573b068 | 4FAC3B29417F | However, some teachers dislike student-designed projects since there is no clearly set standards or grading rubric, which results in a lengthy grading period. | Counterclaim | Effective |
ed3eca8da3a5 | 4FAC3B29417F | While this can be true, teachers can create an overall rubric that addresses the key elements that each project must include, no matter the topic. | Rebuttal | Effective |
d151b68ca92a | 4FAC3B29417F | As a result, summer projects should be student-designed. This project style not only results in increased student involvement, but it also allows them to explore subjects that they may not have been able to otherwise. Student-designed projects also assist in the development of higher-level thinking, organizational skills, and responsibility skills; all of which are necessary in the professional world. Students are not only enjoying their topic, but they are also continuing to learn, which is the overall concept of summer projects. With student-designed projects, the possibilities are truly endless. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
76c8247bd095 | 4FDB610CDF7B | Cars have become apart of the everyday life of the average person. It's a mode of transportaion that everyone uses in every second of their life; though it is faster then walking itself, cars are not always helpful to us. | Lead | Adequate |

b603a34c54e1 | 4FDB610CDF7B | Limiting the use of cars can bring less stress to the everyday driver. | Claim | Effective |
b1d08b23a71f | 4FDB610CDF7B | When in a car, it is easy to see when the driver is stressed out. Stress accumulates with traffic jams or when someone is becoming infuriated by another driver, who is driving right in front of the other driver and going really slow. There are people who have seen there stress levels drop when they are not in or don't own a car. For instance, a community in Vauban, Germany, at least 70 percent of their residents don't own a car, while 57 percent sold their car to move there. A woman, Heidrun Walter, who is a resident there stated, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"(Source 1). This verifies how people can get away from stress by just not having a car. In Bogota, Colombia, there is a day when automobiles are banned for a day, with the execption of buses and taxis. This day has become very popular, and is a "good opportunity to take away stress"(Source 3), as said by Carlos Arturo Plaza, a business man who rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife on that day. On this day millions Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work, leaving the streets free of any traffic jam, when a driver gets stressed out he most, as stated in source 3. This shows the number of people who participated in this event and also shows their, less stressful, alternative modes of transportation. | Evidence | Effective |
22c7393c99d5 | 4FDB610CDF7B | Along with relieving stress, pollution will become less of a problem | Claim | Effective |
40a4fedaf33e | 4FDB610CDF7B | Cars are beneficial when it comes transportation, but they can cause harm to the environment as well. Pollution is a major problem in the today's world, and with the number of cars that are in use everyday it will only become worse. Smog or any other type of pollution can cause a city or even a country to take action. Such a Paris, Fance, who put a ban on driving to reduce pollution in their city, which rivaled Beijing, China, known as the one the most polluted cities in the world, as said in source 2. This strenghens the problems that cars pose on the world, these problems can lead to delivery companies losing money because the ban was put up and won't be lifted until the smog is gone. In addition, more information about car pollution can be found in source 1. There it talks about how cars are the "linchpin" of suburbs, and how they're "a huge impediment to current efforts to drasticallly reduce greenhouse gas emissions." In some places this is slowly resolving itself; places such as the United States have seen a drop in miles driven per person since it's peak in 2009. Sociologists believe that, "it will have beneficial implications carbon emissions and the environment"(Source 4). This indicates that, while it is a major issue it is not impossible to solve it. | Evidence | Effective |
0c1ffeb1bf6d | 4FDB610CDF7B | Cars are an easy and fast form of transportation, but they can also cause harm to people and the environment. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
1a14ac8aa073 | 4FDB610CDF7B | No matter how beneficial cars are to us, wouldn't it be better to limit the use of them? This way if cars usage is limited, then the less problems we face. | Position | Adequate |

0e4421ef0430 | 4FFA8AA9820C | In the text it states that
At least according to some new computer software that can recognize emotions. The software is the latest innovation from prof. THOMAS HUANG, of the beckman institute for advanced science at the university of Illinois, working in collaboration with prof. NICU SEBE of the university of amsterdam. Dr. HUANG and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate. The MONA LISA demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it showa just how much this computer can do. Imagne a computer that knows when you're happy or sad. 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. a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. | Evidence | Ineffective |
f673aa1d4b6a | 4FFC4DB08B42 | I claim this technology | Position | Ineffective |
e90fdf49292a | 4FFC4DB08B42 | because when it scans somebody face it can tell us the percentage of out facial expressions | Claim | Adequate |
d302ce9e87b1 | 4FFC4DB08B42 | For an example Mona Lisa demonstrates that is really surprising to bring a simlie to your face while the computer shows you based on much percentage of happiness you have right now. | Evidence | Adequate |
0fbd4ea04f4c | 4FFC4DB08B42 | Another example is that the facial technology had a lot of different movements that can track your facial face movements. | Claim | Adequate |
404477d026e9 | 4FFC4DB08B42 | Because it all about the muscles in your facial face. They even indicate the difference between a genuine simlie and a force one. You can imagine a computer that knows when your happy or sad or angry or even fear. For example, if you simlie when a web ad is on your screen a very similar ad will pop up again. But if you frown, the next ad will be different. Based on how you act. | Evidence | Adequate |
78b077b2711b | 4FFC4DB08B42 | Having this new technology would be a better fit with the people because when is feeling down and the other person don't know on how they feel they always use the facial technology to show the percentages of how down they really are. | Claim | Ineffective |
2d65b62a3a89 | 4FFC4DB08B42 | But for some people they don't need that because we can tell others people facial expressions by just looking at them clearly, which it true. | Counterclaim | Ineffective |

05849e96d70a | 500F35F18E1F | A butte and a mesa these are all natural things on our planet Earth. So why do you think that the planet Mars also can't have these things | Claim | Effective |
d6e750729cf4 | 500F35F18E1F | Earth is covered in these mesas so more than likely other planets including Mars probably have buttes and mesas | Evidence | Adequate |
b48cbc7b749e | 500F35F18E1F | its just coincidentall that it looks like a face. | Claim | Adequate |
5db001ff212c | 500F35F18E1F | the mesa isn't an alien artifact and just a natural landform. | Position | Adequate |
62bb0aba41f4 | 500F35F18E1F | If you go out to the Rocky Mountains and look around you can probably see tons of Mesas maybe not as big ,but they are still the same natural landform | Evidence | Adequate |
020731095a5b | 500F35F18E1F | The mesa is big and does look like a face at first glance ,but there is no way you can prove it. | Claim | Adequate |
3c4ff0397aaa | 500F35F18E1F | If you look at the image taken from the spaceship Viking 1 from 1976 you can see that only looks somewhat similar to a face. And then 22 years later a picture from a Mars Global surveyor you can see that it very clearly isn't a face and instead just a natural landform.
