93b1fa73b367 | 500F35F18E1F | The only way that this could be an alien artifact is if the martians are inside of it or underneath it. | Claim | Ineffective |
c3b297bff3bf | 500F35F18E1F | That would explain how the camera can not see any other buildings around the object because they are all inside of it so no one is outside. They also could be inside of the butte because the planet is deadly for some paticular reason and they have shelter inside safely away. And another reason is because inside of the planet there may be some source of running water that is keeping them alive.
Although this could not work because they more than likely would have gotten a picture of a martian outside doing something. And they would need some source of water which has already dried up on the outside of the planet | Evidence | Ineffective |
131b686c9a6b | 500F35F18E1F | In the end it is not possible that the mesa is an alien artifact and is instead just a butte or a mesa that happens to like a face. Because the clearer picture shows that it now looks nothing like a face, water stopped flowing on the red planet a long time ago, and Earth also has these land forms all over the place. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
1a173caf3df4 | 50122C17BAD4 | Today I'm writing about The Challenge of Exploring Venus. | Lead | Ineffective |
3fba466a3c68 | 50122C17BAD4 | Venus is sometimes called the "Evening Star". Its one of the brightest points of light in the sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot. In our solar system, Venus is the second planet from the sun. While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely.
First, there's a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. On the planets surface temperatures average over 800 degress Fahrenheit, and the atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater that what we expreinced on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an enviroment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liqefy many metals. Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather presnt additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
However, peering at venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atomosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges. Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to out knowledge of Venus.
Last, NASA is working on other approches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking back to an technology called mechanical computers. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important rolein the 1940s during World War 2. The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces. | Evidence | Ineffective |
f90afea870a2 | 50122C17BAD4 | Finally, I'm talking about all the things i talked about in my paragraphs. I talked about Venus and it's nickname, the amosphere percent, orbiting and hovering and then the NASA. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
2cb20f131349 | 505E8295E792 | The selctions I just read contain one common subject:people drive less cars now in the first and second selection both talk about how some neighborhoods ban the use of cars on certian or all days. In the first selection In german suburb, life goes on without cars the author Elisabeth Rosenthal states " 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move there." In other words they either had a car but sold it to move or they never had a car to begin with.
In selection 2, it talks about how people are not evven allowed to drive cars on certain days of the week. In paragraph 2 the authour says "On Monday motorists with even numbered license plates are ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine."
The final 2 selections discuss how studies show that people in America are driving less and less as time passes by. | Evidence | Adequate |

b28d3db178eb | 507CBD8E9670 | Studying planets is often hard because of the conditions in space, and also on the planet Venus there are also very harsh conditions that humans cannot survive. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus | Lead | Adequate |
d037f16412ae | 507CBD8E9670 | Exploring Venus can be a very risky planet for us to expore until we get better technology. | Position | Adequate |
745e637a8c63 | 507CBD8E9670 | Venus is often reffered to as Earth's twin because it is the closest planet to be like Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Venus would be hard to expore becuase of the planet's suface reaching up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet of solar system and if we tried to land a rover there the metal would just liquify because of the extreme temperature's. NASA however, still wants to try to study the planet but they would have to hover over Venus because of the extreme conditions on the planet's surface. Even at 30 plus miles in the air in Venus the temperatures can reach up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere. Rendering standard of photography and videography ineffective. The solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth's level.
More importantly, reasearchers cannot take samples of rock, gas,or anything else, from a distance. Threfore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Many reasearchers are working on innovations that would allow the machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus. | Evidence | Ineffective |
1bbf91b198e4 | 508DB90F68C7 | I think using this technology in a classroom would be a huge breakthrough. | Position | Adequate |
29c43bad378d | 508DB90F68C7 | Teachers wouldn't have to work as hard to figure out what he or she needs to do to help a student learn what they need to learn. This technology can tell what their emotional state is when in the classroom. If they are bored they might not like the way their teacher is teaching them. | Evidence | Adequate |
04e14ff96055 | 508DB90F68C7 | So the teacher can modify the way she teaches that specific lesson, so that the student has a better attitude toward that subject.
| Claim | Adequate |
6b91db48f022 | 508DB90F68C7 | This technology can also help councelers talk to the students that might be having personal problems like bullies, or family issues at home. | Claim | Adequate |
11b9cb8e00d7 | 508DB90F68C7 | Kids wouldn't be able to hide their emotions as well with this techlology being in every classrom. For example with a false smile the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major, and another muscle called the risorius. You cant download the software on a normal computer, so schools would have to pay for the device its-self. It would be extremely expensive but it would help many students in classrooms, or some that need counceling. | Evidence | Adequate |
17b9115bc961 | 508DB90F68C7 | Humans perform this type of calculation every day, for instance when you ask a friend if they are ok, because they look depressed or angry. We can perform this calculation as accurately as the current technology we have now. | Claim | Adequate |
fdc8565564b6 | 508DB90F68C7 | For example Leonardo da Vinci used this type of calculation and knew exactly how her face needed to look in order to get the emotions he was looking for. | Evidence | Ineffective |
f757105165a1 | 508DB90F68C7 |
In conclusion this technology has many benefits for students and children that need counceling for personal problems, and or family problems at home. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

42c4342e4a16 | 50ABF43C3323 | In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" a writer states that scientists are trying to study the planet Venus. In his article, he claims that while it is very risky, it may be worth it in the end. he also gives details about how dangerous it really is, and what the planet might have been at one point in time. | Lead | Adequate |
796577325860 | 50ABF43C3323 | The writer claims that Venus is referred to as Earth's "twin''. But the only evidence he gives to back up this claim is that "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of desnity and size." | Claim | Effective |
5b95675885d8 | 50ABF43C3323 | but in reality, Earth and Venus are very differnet. Earth is much safer in terms of temperature, pressure, and gas compaired to Venus. Venus has a blanket of gas that covers it that is, "almost 97 percent carbon dioxide." Plus, on its surface, "temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit." with the level of carbon dioxide and the ragging heat that it has, nothing is safe for long on Venus, especially humans. He does state that several spacecrafts have attempted to land on Venus, and only lasted a few hours, but he doesnt state what happened to them. most people would guess that they just melted entirely because of the extreme heat, which is most likely what happened, but we don't know for sure. | Evidence | Effective |
f29048d3a5e1 | 50ABF43C3323 | Not only is high temperatures and extreme pressures an issue, he also states that there are volcanoes and major earthquakes that happen, plus lightning is constant as well | Evidence | Adequate |
5f7085e230b8 | 50ABF43C3323 | there is no context to whether or not scientists are trying to figure out what causes the the powerful earthquakes to happen, or why lightning strikes frequently happen | Claim | Adequate |
5eeb147091c7 | 50ABF43C3323 | He also states that, "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life." But there is nothing that follows it that claims what happened or could have happened to cause high pressures, high temperatures, and a high level of carbon dioxide to form. | Claim | Effective |
7fa994c2e144 | 50ABF43C3323 | While scientists believe that Venus was at one point like earth, there are some facts that show that it has the looks of earth in some ways. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
f2cb0675e88b | 50ABF43C3323 | the writer says that Venus, "has a surface of rocky sediments and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." These features are exactly what earth has as well. | Evidence | Adequate |
74126c229717 | 50ABF43C3323 | But there could be more than what meets the eye. In parapgraph six, the writer says that," peering a Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions becuase most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere." | Rebuttal | Effective |
5613eee2c9a9 | 50ABF43C3323 | This issue puts a damper on scientists ability to study the planet. But thats just it, what are scientists trying to study. | Evidence | Adequate |
5867f9872557 | 50ABF43C3323 | The article says,"Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.'' Which is great they are working on that, | Counterclaim | Adequate |
e1506958d3e3 | 50ABF43C3323 | but what are they trying to collect, find, or explore.
| Rebuttal | Ineffective |
5f536c98f1fe | 50ABF43C3323 | Overall, the article is good, but there needs to be more detail in what is happening. they need information on what scientists are specifically trying to study, what they are looking for, and more detail on how they are progressing in studying Venus. | Position | Adequate |
4ca2811e380a | 50ABF43C3323 | With more details about what they are trying to find, it would be easier to evaluate whether or not the scientist efforts are really worth it, or just a waste of time. A planet that is inhabitable by humans or anything living is already a risk as is. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
fac489cada1b | 50F1D8786126 | In the article ¨Making Mona Lisa Smile,¨ the author tells us that with technology that we have today they can see her have a full smile.

09946bae5e93 | 50F1D8786126 | That is, hiding how she feels by putting on a fake smile. She shows tons of facial expressions to show people how she feels. Most of it is happines by 83 percent, 9 percent disgusted,6 percent fearful and 2 percent angry. Seeing the different characteristics that she has of facial muscle. While often shows vary of expressions that preforms a persons feelings. The reason Leonardo da Vinci´s painted Mona Lisa,he had studied human anatomy and convey speficc emotions. | Evidence | Adequate |
c0c0bcb41936 | 50F1D8786126 | Seeing that their are six basic emotions like happines, surprised, anger, disgust, fear and sadness | Claim | Adequate |
12d074275837 | 50F1D8786126 | Using those to associated every characteristic of the facial muscles and using them on Mona Lisa. With new software it can recongize Mona Lisa emotions. Which can actually calculate emotions of others. | Evidence | Ineffective |

Which Computers can give the a certain look or emotion. The software stores similar anatomical information called electronic code. But only speacil computers can make people have emotions and faical features, not our normal PC at home.
| Evidence | Adequate |
73c1973253c2 | 50F1D8786126 | The way people express their feelings and emotions, can show everyone how you feel about certain things. People who will try to hid their emotions are very fond of themselves for not expressing it. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

84bc5f2e5152 | 5145FF65E5BE | First, the author says "Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star." Before Venus is called actually a planet, Venus was not popular. Venus and it was not called anything. But after Venus had called a planet, many things have been discovering bu scientist or other. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionary the closest in distance too. | Evidence | Adequate |
6cb3bda62388 | 5145FF65E5BE | It means we have a possibility to live in there. Veuns still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. Again, we need to find the another place to live for the future. | Claim | Adequate |

7619de9b158f | 5145FF65E5BE | It is not far from right now to travel to Venus and we could it, we could get a chance to live Venus. If we can, we should be more comfortable. We need to study Venus and teach many people. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
61c886834926 | 514ADDA113FD | That Venus is the closest plant to earth,almost has the same density and size to earth but is the second planet away from the sun. It can go up to 800 degress fahrenheit on a average scale has 90 times more atmospheric pressure than earth can crush a submarine that is bulit to wistand the water pressure deep below. Venus is more hotter than mercury which is the closest plant to the sun has erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes,and frequent lightning dispiet the harsh elements and lack of life support. Has some similary features to earth like valleys,mountains,and craters. NASA is planing to send humans to Venus to study it's natural elements to see if it's suitable for humans.
NASA is still planing on making a trip to Venus but it will be a diffuclt change to acivemen do to it's harsh climate. Their plan is to sent scientists to float above the landscape. But the ship orbiting above the planet can only provide limited sight on the ground because most light couldn't go through the dense of the atmosphere. They could not take any miterals from Venus they have to get up close and personal to the ground dispiet the harsh cilmate. Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth levels not easy conditions but should be survivable for humans. | Evidence | Ineffective |

2faa18d7ec00 | 52293439CC0D | it proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. But in my own words i think it is a good idea for humans shoukld study venus because it gives you fun facts about it | Claim | Adequate |
f02225929e2a | 52293439CC0D | How i know that is because in paragraph 8, the last sentcene its talking about you get to travle on earth and you it to see whats beyond you should not be limited by dnager or anything else. And another evidence you get to learn about new things in life and it can be a challenge for you in life also | Evidence | Adequate |
1937bb2fd935 | 52293439CC0D | My conclusion to this hole essay is if you can explorie anything in life then you can take a risk and in doing a challenge on exploring venus or another name for it Evening star. Not just because it can give you a fun fact it can give you a differnet experion on other people and you can show other people that there can be a differnce in everythiung that you can do. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

2de0e7333367 | 52579F4BBE4E | Most schools require students to complete a variety of projects during their summer break like reading books or completing a math packet. These projects help students continue their learning away from school, except the only difference is that they have all of summer to do it compared to having a due date within a week. Some projects prepare students for the upcoming school year while others act like reminders so that students won't forget what they learned in the past year. Though some believe that summer projects should be student-designed, others will argue that summer projects should be teacher-designed in order to get the best learning experience while away from school. | Lead | Effective |

f4fc3df1337a | 52579F4BBE4E | Some students may panic because they won't understand the new material or that they will fall behind in the class because they don't remember how solve a simple question, but if teachers design a project based on their class, it gives students an idea of what to expect. For example, a student will be taking Algebra 2 in the upcoming school year, but doesn't know anything about the class. A simple teacher-designed project that could help a student is a packet with math problems from every unit with examples that explains how to do it, so when students go back to school, they aren't completely blindsided by the new concept. Most schools, mainly high school and middle school, have reading assignments that students must complete before the school year. Reading projects could range from reading a certain book and writing an essay about it to completing a reading bingo where students have to complete a series of reading tasks of their choosing. Yes, the word project seem bland and a complete waste of time while students are on their break, but it doesn't have to be boring as long as it serves the purpose of helping students learn. | Evidence | Effective |
0ec183fbdb27 | 52579F4BBE4E | I can personally say that teacher-designed summer projects help prepare students for the upcoming school year. Once in middle school, there was a reading project assigned during the summer where students had to pick a book of their choosing that they can connect to and make notes on the side. I decided to choose a book about sports because as an athlete, I could relate to bits of the story. There were a few new things from the book that I learned about, so I wrote little notes on the pages and highlighted the text. After completing the project and returning to school, the teacher then told the class that the purpose of the project was to prepare for annotations, a concept new to students, and to help understand how to compare books that would be read throughout the school year. | Evidence | Effective |
efe8d5f9ef30 | 52579F4BBE4E | Over the summer, students would forget the material they learned from the past school year, which makes it hard for them to pick up once back at school. Students also learn at different rates meaning that some are more advanced than others. These are another few reasons as to why summer projects should be teacher-designed. | Evidence | Effective |

110e503c3f15 | 52579F4BBE4E | For example, if a student takes a language, like Spanish, teachers can design a project where students must write a story in Spanish based on a given prompt. The project could include requirements that were taught from previous classes with some new concepts added in to see if an individual knows new concepts that will be taught in their future class. This will help teachers understand how they can help a student and where they stand in their learning process. | Evidence | Effective |

5a30ad74cc60 | 52579F4BBE4E | The purpose of summer is so that students can take a break from all the stress that they have experienced during the school year, so a great way to learn and be stress free while doing so is a student-designed project. Students could be assigned a project for a class, but it could be of their choosing. For example, students could be assigned a project with no requirements where they have to make a presentation on anything that interests them, as long as there was a learning process. This will spark different ideas because all students have different backgrounds and their own interests like sports, cooking, or a job that they have. Though these topics are far from being similar, they all have a learning process. Since the project would be based on an individual's choice, it would be less stressful because it is something they are familiar with and know how to work around. | Evidence | Effective |
683aa225a527 | 52579F4BBE4E | Yes, these are two very different sides with different opinions, but they both have a learning experience. Students still get the continuous learning process throughout their break while teachers can see where a student's learning capability is. Teacher-designed projects are stricter meaning that students would probably benefit from it more, while student-designed projects are less stressful based on a students choice. Even though most individuals would disagree saying that summer projects should be student-designed, teacher-designed projects are still the best option to get the best experience for learning new things and reviewing old material. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
