a6bace3a7ea9 | 64EE7AB92E51 | I think that the use of the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is extremely valuable | Position | Adequate |
990df9f5498f | 64EE7AB92E51 | The reason why the use of this technology would be very valuable is becuase,imagine a computer that knows when your're happy or sad. | Claim | Adequate |
74f9690ffef2 | 64EE7AB92E51 | For example , if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen .a simliar ad might follow. But of you frown, the next ad will be different. | Evidence | Adequate |
c9e86f1f9ae0 | 64EE7AB92E51 | First, She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. No that's not your science teacher, grading your latest lad assignment. It's the subject of leonardo da vinci's renaissance painting, Mona Lisa- at least according to some newsoftware that can recognize emotions. | Evidence | Ineffective |
c6afc79c571c | 64EE7AB92E51 | Imagine if "A classroom could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. uang predicts. " then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." | Claim | Adequate |
a375e65e2268 | 64EE7AB92E51 | The same technology can make computer- animated facs more expressive-for video games or video surgery. | Evidence | Adequate |
af5cbf32d48b | 64EE7AB92E51 | Second,"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. "So computers need to understand that, too." | Claim | Adequate |
36c31ee82797 | 64EE7AB92E51 | Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile. But we can write down some simple instructions that "encode" different emotions. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facialc muscles. | Evidence | Ineffective |
5a0bb2b022dc | 64EE7AB92E51 | Third, "The facial expression for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang, " | Claim | Adequate |
c4cd4d1deaea | 64EE7AB92E51 | even though individuals often show varying degrees of expressions"(like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion - recognition software tracks theese facial movements- ina real face or on the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identitfy mixed emotions(as in da Vinci's master piece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion). | Evidence | Ineffective |
5c00ac2bfaca | 64EE7AB92E51 | In conlusion, the use of this technology is very, no extremely important in shcools because it can give the teachers and the principles and idea how to get the students to learn better on what is being taught. The technology can also give the teachers and idea of who is bored or tired, or even who is having a bad, or fantastic day. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
e5347ccfc358 | 64F2F1AEDE19 | Luke had no idea that his life would change so soon after his high school graduation. He was working two part-time jobs in agrocey store and a bank when his friend Don invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. Luke couldn't say no.
In 1945, World War 2 was over in Europe,and manu countries were left ruins. To help these countries recover their food and supplies,animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to help the nation they are called the Seagoing Cowboys to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shiped overseas.
By the time he was discharged in 1947,Luke had made nine trips-the most of any Seagoing Cowboy. I had the side benifit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acroplis in Greece was special,he says. So taking a gondola ride in Venice,Italy,a city with streets of water. A cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them.
It took two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eatern coast of the United States and a month to get to china. Caring for animals during the crossings kept Luke busy. They fed the animals three times a day water,bales of hay,and bags of oats. Stalls had to be cleaned.

8e0538ba7c01 | 64F2F1AEDE19 | Luke had the best time of his life being a Seagoing Cowboy he didn't no his life would change so soon after his high school graduation. In 1945 world war 2 made places get ruined so he decied to go to Seagoing Cowboys. He help animals like horses,young cows,and mules too. He had so much to do but he did it and yes it was hard but he did what he was suppossed to do. A Seagoing Cow boy was more than an adventure for Luke. It opened the world up to him. He is gratefull of the opportunity | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
23d53d6a85b3 | 64F7C12F6811 | Our society's reliance on technology has increased significantly in the past few decades.
Mobile phones were once brick-like impractical devices. Since then, they have evolved into sleek mini computers. Now that phones are more portable, people tend to take their cell with them everywhere, including on the road. With the heavy reliance our society has created around these devices, it is, understandably, difficult to resist using them. For this very reason, cell phones pose a great risk to driver's. The distraction imposed by smartphones can be just as harmful as driving under the influence. | Lead | Effective |
4a209db7c4c3 | 64F7C12F6811 | Using cell phones at all while driving should absolutely not be allowed. Any amount of attention diverted from the road is incredibly dangerous. | Position | Effective |
e0336d869fcf | 64F7C12F6811 |
Some of the most fatal accidents have occured, not because of intoxication, but as a result of texting and driving. | Claim | Effective |
4dafa6561963 | 64F7C12F6811 | In 2018, 4,637 people died in car crashes due to cell phone use (The Zebra). That is 4,637 lives that could have been spared if it weren't for the recklessness of irresponsible drivers. In 2002, 62% of people owned regular cell phones, while today, in 2019, about 95% of americans own cell phones. 77% of these modern cell phones owners have smartphones, which can be even more distracting (Pew Research Center). In that time, car accidents caused by cell phone distraction has increased from 6% to 25% of all car accidents (Schlossberg 2002, Miller & Zois 2019). There is a clear correlation between the increased reliance of cell phones and distracted driving accidents. The irresponsible actions of these drivers is causing increased danger on our roads. Leniency cannot be accepted. The law should have absolutely no tolerance for this hazardous driving. | Evidence | Effective |
4fc2861a710f | 64F7C12F6811 | Even the best drivers may be involved in a potentially life-threatening crash while trying to use their phone and drive | Claim | Adequate |
b4cb95e3ea6a | 64F7C12F6811 | According to an NPR article on multitasking, when you are "Switching from task to task, you think you're actually paying attention to everything around you at the same time. But you're actually not | Counterclaim | Adequate |
599f4f01cea2 | 64F7C12F6811 | You're not paying attention to one or two things simultaneously, but switching between them very rapidly" | Rebuttal | Adequate |
d2b957dcc8da | 64F7C12F6811 | The article later goes on to state, "You cannot focus on one while doing the other. That's because of what's called interference between the two tasks." Based off of this information, it can be inferred the concept of interference is also applicable to using a smartphone while driving. If a driver is busy paying attention to their screen, there is no way they could also be paying close attention to the road. | Evidence | Effective |
bdba04f55e68 | 64F7C12F6811 | Even five seconds of being distracted by a cell phone can be enough time for someone to get into an accident | Claim | Adequate |
a18961daca95 | 64F7C12F6811 | One personal injury lawyer states, "A single text results in an average distraction of 5 seconds, during which time a car going 55 mph will travel the length of a football field" (Miller & Zois). A range this large in a such a short time span conveys how much potential there is for injury when behaving so carelessly. Anyone who may claim it is safe for them to go on their phone while operating a vehicle because they are a master at multitasking is simply overconfident in their abilities. The truth is, it would be impossible for anyone to drive safely while distracted.
With lives at risk, texting and driving should be out of the question. Not only would such negligence put one's own physical well being at risk, but all those around them as well. | Evidence | Effective |
8516b0c478b6 | 64F7C12F6811 | Thousands of deaths could be prevented each year if everyone were to simply put their phone down while driving. No notification, song, or post is worth compromising the safety of the general public. Ensuring others' security should be a priority for all americans. When one fourth of car accidents involve cell phones, there is a serious problem. Complete focus and concentration on the road while driving should just be common sense. Keep the phone down.

8dc46daa2425 | 65552A741D2A | Venus is like the non explorable planet. | Position | Adequate |
a23a687c8578 | 65552A741D2A | The technology we have in the world today is not good enough to wistand the envirnment of Venus with its extremely harsh conditions | Claim | Adequate |
0181f318970c | 65552A741D2A | One of the things the is keeping people so interested is that Venus at one time was supposedly the most Earth like planet in our solar system. | Evidence | Ineffective |
6da15992b9e3 | 65552A741D2A | We have tried to explore Venus multiple times but the explorations have been un named because after a few our the spacecrafts broke or quit on us. We think that this is because of Venuses harsh envirnement constisting of acid rain and clouds, the hottest surface temprature in our Milky Way, and the fact that it is so hard to catch the planet when it is close to our planet. "Also notteble Venus has the hottest surface temprature of any planet in the solar system, even though mercury is the closest to the Sun". Thats a reason why we cant land and stay there | Evidence | Adequate |
e605a8de6922 | 65552A741D2A | One of the reasons we believe Venus used to be like Earth is because of its nottable past. "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth". | Evidence | Ineffective |
d8236598a460 | 65552A741D2A | We are working on more developed technology as the years go by, but we are still not able tpo land and stay on Venuses surface. We are getting closer but are not ready or prepared to try again yet. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

ef0ba1282ad1 | 65590D44B68A | I always liked the end of the trips because after all the hard work we had fun. We had had so many games. "The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling." with all these games we never wanted to leave the sea. If you came too, you could do play too. | Evidence | Adequate |

67f912a2eec0 | 655EC70088AA | Based on the passage , the government would like a change in the way people drive their cars around. Some people would just get in the car and ride all day and night if they could. So what do the head source of some countries even took the drastic measures of baning driving due to so much smog and health problems in the air. Almost 4,000 drivers would be fined becuase of their actions to the news.
In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of colombians hiked, biked, skated or took the buses to work. It was the third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the day without carsin this capital of 7 million. Of course the goal was to reduce smog and promote alternative transportation. The turnout was huge, despite gray clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on bogota. for the first time two other Colombian cities, cali and valledupar, joined the event. The day without cars is part of an improvment campain that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s.
The United States, with its broad expanses and suburban ideals, had long been of the world's prime car cultures. It is the home of Detroit, which by the way has the most and biggest car production in the U.S. alone, its also the bithplace of the first car ever the Model T. Demographic shifts in the driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate. There has been a large drop in the percentage of 16- to 39-year-olds getting a license, while older folk are likely to retain their license as they age | Evidence | Ineffective |
cd3263db4b8b | 65AE2F1BF718 | As the author defends the claim that the exploration of Venus is a "worthy pursuit," I, however, believe that this statement is not proven very efficiently. Although the author refers to NASA and the experiments they've carried out, the information just does not sufficiently back up the statement that Venus is a "worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." | Position | Effective |
97d97ddeffd9 | 65AE2F1BF718 | The author continuously describes the challenge it would be for humans to carry out the study of Venus from space, | Claim | Effective |
1ef6126b8181 | 65AE2F1BF718 | using terms that convey the assumptions he or she is making based on his or her opinion. | Claim | Adequate |
b11524f6bc90 | 65AE2F1BF718 | Many risks would be taken in order to physically explore Venus, | Claim | Effective |
9530abd86f74 | 65AE2F1BF718 | As stated in the text, the conditons on the planet are "far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth." Even with advanced technology that we have today, the article states that "no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." If the technology we have today can't even survive the conditions on Venus, how are humans supposed to be able to? Even though the author claims the conditions are "not easy, but survivable for humans," the temperature can climb up to over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. These pieces of evidence from the excerpt convey the idea that Venus and its characteristics are far too dangerous for humans to even go near. | Evidence | Effective |
f9a8046d772d | 65AE2F1BF718 | Even though humans could possibly hover 30 miles above the ground level, the texts states that the vast distance would provide only "limited insight on ground conditions," and it would "[render] standard forms of photography and videography ineffective." Along with that, the author admits that "researchers would not be able to take samples...from a distance." The challenge that the study provides would simply not be worth the time, money, and risks. If man were to go to extreme lengths to reach within 30 miles of a planet and not be able to collect and evidence or data, it would not be a successful mission if the goal was to obtain new information about the planet. | Evidence | Effective |
9b783460842b | 65AE2F1BF718 | When examining the similarities between Earth and Venus, the author uses the word "probably," saying that "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." The word "probably" gives off the impression that the author is making an assumption about the fact that Venus could support life just like Earth based on a common feature between the two planets. It is dangerous to make assumptions about subjects such as this, because it would be very costly if it turned out to be incorrect in the end. | Evidence | Effective |
a1b55b055943 | 65AE2F1BF718 | After considering both sides of this controversial claim, I believe the author did not support the claim that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
efa3c72aafb4 | 65AE2F1BF718 | Although the author referred to the study being beneficial to man's sense of imagination and innovation, | Counterclaim | Effective |

| Position | Effective |
cc1be7f80d7f | 65B987E219BE | Cell phones are extremely distracting because of the large amount of focus operating one requires. | Claim | Effective |
b23402cb768c | 65B987E219BE | While driving, cell phones divert a driver's visual focus from the road to the screen of the mobile device which is very dangerous. The driver isn't able to see what's in front of them because their eyes are locked in on the screen of a cell phone which can possibly lead to a variety of negative outcomes. Texting while driving can lead to harm to health, government involvement, and vehicular harm.' | Evidence | Effective |
3ab3ec0c4d70 | 65B987E219BE | 1 out of every 4 car accidents are caused by texting while driving and in the United States over 1.6 million car crashes occur annually. That means that every year over 400,000 car accidents result from texting and driving | Evidence | Effective |
9f079e44efed | 65B987E219BE | Cell phone usage itself has a very negative impact on the body's health due to the blue light it transmits. The blue light hurts the eyes and is extremely detrimental while texting and driving. A driver must have good eyesight so that they are aware of their surroundings but using cell phones/mobile devices while driving hinders that | Evidence | Effective |
892bb093b4a6 | 65B987E219BE | Studies have shown that texting while driving makes a driver lose focus more on the road than a driver being under the influence. | Evidence | Adequate |
aaaeeffe5ab1 | 65B987E219BE | Cell phone usage is very harmful because if an accident happens , then several degrees of physical injuries can occur and death can happen if the injuries that result are too serious to treat. | Claim | Adequate |
bca910e6250d | 65B987E219BE | Cell phone usage while driving should not be allowed due to the risk it has on the health of a driver. | Claim | Adequate |
b8ace7429086 | 65B987E219BE | In most states, texting while driving has become illegal due to the many health risks that result from it. | Claim | Adequate |
bc4413acc543 | 65B987E219BE | Police officers have the ability to give a driver a citation/ticket for texting while driving. However, a significantly large number of drivers have found a loophole to evade getting a ticket and/or citation. They would not text and drive but instead they would have their cell phones in their hand but not actually text and drive. In order to counteract this loophole, some states have enforced a policy which states that a driver can be penalized for being in possession of a cell phone/mobile device when the vehicle is in motion. These policies are implemented so that no harm can occur due to cell phone usage while driving. | Evidence | Effective |
eef5a810b5bb | 65B987E219BE | Using cell phones or mobile devices while driving can negatively impact the vehicle that a driver is driving whether it be a coupe, sedan, crossover, minivan, or truck | Claim | Adequate |
01c5781d71b9 | 65B987E219BE | Texting while driving can lead to the quality of the vehicle declining due to any damage it may face such as a wreck. On the financial side, the vehicle's interest rate will most likely increase because texting while driving can lead to receiving tickets and/or citations that a driver potentially may receive.
The vehicle itself is something that the driver should bring into consideration and not use their cell phone/device while driving so that no harm comes to the vehicle. | Evidence | Effective |
00fcd9656dc9 | 65B987E219BE | The concept of using cell phones/mobile devices while driving is one that needs to get rid of immediately. There are countless outcomes that result from cell phone usage while driving and all of them are negative ones which shows that it should be banned. The health risks are severe as well as the vehicular risks and the government has had to step in because of the realization that using cell phones while driving is a lose-lose situation no matter what. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
07c4549753c3 | 66418ED2289D | On the first day of
Summer Break one is thinking about all the things he's going to be doing, like:relax all day, go on vacation, hang out with friends or family, play video games, and do non-school related things. Suddenly, he or she gets an email from their teacher saying,"I hope everyone is enjoying summer so far, over the summer you will have to do a project on what you have learned this year." At the end of the email is the instructions the teacher says you have to do for your project. After reading the email one closes his laptop or turns off his phone with anger, because that one teacher ruined his summer.
How are people supposed to enjoy their summer break when a teacher gives them school-related stuff to do. Some teachers complain all the time about them having to grade all types of work when a student doesnt do his work. Teachers shouldn't complain because,all they had to do is not give students any work especially over the summer. Then that will make the teachers job way much easier, because they won't have much stuff to grade and worry about planning to do. | Lead | Effective |

7c41a5e0d8a8 | 66418ED2289D | Student-designed projects would show more creativeness, and is more helpful. Second, they can show how much one has learned. While teacher-designed projects are much more stressful, one will have to do it rule,by rule, by rule, one little mess up can lower your score by a whole grade. On teacher- designed projects the teacher also won't really tell who learned more, because they will all be very similar. Teacher-designed projects are also boring, because it's better when you can use your own ideas instead of someone else ideas. Teachers most of the time always give the people with the most perfectly organized project the best grade, when they dont even have good facts or anything about the project, while the people with not that good of organization but a lot of good information on the project get a lower grade. | Evidence | Adequate |
e4aa7a4b9f77 | 66418ED2289D | One might ask, "what is the reason for having a project during summer because that is when we have a break from school?"
That's just like saying,"why do athletes like basketball players practice during off season?" If a athlete does not practice during off season, they can probably lose their skill, be out of shape,and not get any better for the next season. Just like if we dont have any projects or work over the summer we can forget how to do certain stuff, and not be ready for the next school year. | Evidence | Adequate |

bc819b75b255 | 66418ED2289D | One shouldn't be forced to do school work over a time when you are supposed to be enjoying the summer off. One of my favorite sayings is from Allen Iverson when he said,"Practice? Your'e talking bout practice? I am an All Star and you are talking about practice?" That is what I would think about if a teacher emailed me during the summer and is talking to me about doing a project when i should be resting. What's the point of summer if you are just going to be doing school work? | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |

6c65f5fc7346 | 665F9322C6EF | First on every Monday no one can drive their cars do due to smog so they're trying to reduce the smoke in the air. Second on that same day people with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 31$ fine. Thrid almost 4,000 drivers were fined, according to reuters twenty-one people had their cars impounded for their reaction on the fine. Frouth Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals.

def720800e28 | 66ABB3042298 | The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" believes that studying Venus is something that should be done even though it can be very dangerous. The author gives multiple reasons to why we should explore the planet, or learn more about it. However, some people think the dangers of Venus outweigh the benefits of pursuing research on it. | Lead | Adequate |
7e6a0338cf9b | 66ABB3042298 | The author supports the idea of studying Venus even though it can be very dangerous. He provides many details, and facts as to why it's a good idea. | Position | Adequate |
b45239f2a014 | 66ABB3042298 | First off, the author tells what Venus is like. | Claim | Adequate |
e2f46730afc4 | 66ABB3042298 | He states that Venus is often referred to as Earth's "twin". This is because Venus and Earth are close in size, density, and at some points in orbit are the closest planets in the solar system. It is also believed that at one point, Venus was a lot like Earth is now. "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our soloar system.". The article goes on to say Venus most likely had large oceans that supported life, and the planet has things like craters, valleys, and mountains that we also have here on Earth. The author including these details helps get the point across that Venus is a lot like Earth, and with the little research been done already, we've found so much. This helps readers understand that the longer Venus is studied, the more we will learn about it. | Evidence | Effective |
b39dbe2413d0 | 66ABB3042298 | Next, the author gives possible ways to study Venus safely, and effciently. | Claim | Effective |
de9445805945 | 66ABB3042298 | The author states, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray.". Stating ways that Venus can be studied with people not being put in danger helps get the authors point across. The article also touches on how floating above the surface could keep those studying the planet safe. Temperatures would still be high, but nothing the spacecraft couldn't handle, the air pressure would be like how it is on Earth at sea level, soloar power would be bountiful, and radiation would be no higher than the levels on Earth. The text then states, "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans.". Although this would not be an easy job, it is possible to study Venus safely. The details used in this paragraph help convey the authors point that studying Venus can be done safely and that it should continue to happen. | Evidence | Effective |
5f8f8a409172 | 66ABB3042298 | Last, the author gives more ways Venus can be studied safely using different technology. | Claim | Effective |
a18d96ef9878 | 66ABB3042298 | While talking about different approaches to studying Venus the author states, "...simplified electronics...have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks...". This quote also helps the reader understand that studying Venus can be done in a safe and harmless way. Using this new technology could help research on Venus advance, and keep those doing the research out of harm's way. The author then goes on to talk about a different technology that was used in World War 2 that can also be used as a new method to study Venus. These are called mechanical computers, and they use gears and levers rather than the electronics that actual computers use. The mechanical computers are made of mechanical parts which are stronger, so they shouldn't be damaged as easily. These are just a few of the ways technology can help safely advance the study of Venus.

48cb6a2540bc | 66ABB3042298 | In conclusion, it is important Venus is continued to be studied and researched. The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" does a great job of conveying to his audience why studying Venus is important even though it is dangerous. In the last paragraph, the author says, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value...". Studying Venus can help advance many things, and our knowledge of other planets could grow from this as well. There have been many safe ways found to study Venus, so it should be done. The author also states that, "Our travels on Earth should not be limited by dangers and doubts...". This quote also shows that the author believes the study of Venus should continue even though it can be dangerous. If we didn't study things just because they're dangerous, then we would have nothing dicovered. The author of this article believes the study of Venus should continue, and does very well at conveying that by telling the audience Earth and Venus are a lot alike, gives new, safer ways to study Venus, and gives examples of technology that could also make the study of Venus a lot safer and easier. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
