42c68bfc2dc2 | 858751B7BB17 | See no ones ever visited venus be it is far away and no one has done reserch on it to see if theres liveing things on there or not so someoe whould have to do that. Then someone would have to go up there maybe put a drone or rover on it drive it around and see. Then someone would have to go back up there and get the rover then look at the video to see if anythings there. Then we would have to see if theres air on this planet so maybe one day humans can live on a differnt planet.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
5d0dbd155341 | 858751B7BB17 | That is why we don'go to venus yet because then we would have to built better rockets. Then we would have to get astronut food and make sure they have air helment just in case. Maybe some jet packs just in case. they get stuck and cant find a way back. | Evidence | Ineffective |
a25a71e85b78 | 85882575BD1C | I think that everyone should join the Seagoing Cowboys program | Position | Adequate |
a6a4b1d9c838 | 85882575BD1C | you get to travel over water. | Claim | Adequate |
2ac308c26c25 | 85882575BD1C | By traveling over water you can see fun things like sea animals and you can also visit cool places. | Evidence | Adequate |
958de573e2e1 | 85882575BD1C | If you like animals or if you take care of animals then this is the thing for you | Claim | Adequate |
98d535fc2949 | 85882575BD1C | you get to take care of animals so that way they can get to where they are going safely. Plus if you have never done it before, it would be a pretty cool experience because you also get to feed the animals on the boat ride and you get to give them something to drink. | Evidence | Adequate |
2fa74aa103cf | 85882575BD1C | This would also be a fun and creative program because you get to do cool thing like watch dolphins and fish and all of the other sea creatures swim. | Claim | Ineffective |
cf629dece055 | 85882575BD1C | The way that this would be a creative program is because you could make up names for the animals. In the text it says, "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy." So in that sentence, it proves that being a seagoing cowboy was a fun experience. | Evidence | Adequate |
f48528c611b4 | 85983B2516C5 | While the idea of using a Facial Action Coding System in the educational process would certainly be interesting, I do not think it is nearly advanced enough to be able to be used in modern schools. | Position | Effective |
764d9b4e0ab8 | 85983B2516C5 | While the technology may be able to find the hidden emotions behind the famous portrait Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, that does not mean it is in a position to help students learn. | Evidence | Adequate |
97a97da7de33 | 85983B2516C5 | the Facial Action Coding System does not have the viability, | Claim | Adequate |
20771bd7d624 | 85983B2516C5 | efficacy, | Claim | Adequate |
ceab4005fb8c | 85983B2516C5 | privacy | Claim | Adequate |
4745ac98f345 | 85983B2516C5 | Even if we allowed camera's to scan the faces of students in school, we would not be able to decode their emotions in a speed befiting our educational system today. | Claim | Effective |
07e493c04f3f | 85983B2516C5 | At the seventh passage, the author states that, "Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile," suggesting that the majority of modern computers do not have the power to actually run the software. The PCs that schools buy are almost never more powerful than the ones bought by consumers for household use, and would thus also not be able to process the data, making the technology rather useless in an educational setting. | Evidence | Effective |
0b2f2a939edc | 85983B2516C5 | Even if a school had the funds to buy a computer that could process the data quickly enough to be useful, | Counterclaim | Effective |
329d27ef475a | 85983B2516C5 | there are simply too many students for that one computer to process, which would make the entire system useless. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
556a9ae553c9 | 85983B2516C5 | If we were to simply put that first fact aside and instead look at the ability for this technology to assist students in an ideal setting, we still find that students can fake their emotions in order to cheat the system. | Claim | Effective |
8c5e603a049f | 85983B2516C5 | In the third passage of the artice, the author states, "Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness ... and then associated each with charactersitic movements of the facial muscles," meaning that the software associated voluntary or involuntary movements of the face with emotions. The problem with this system is that students can change the look of their face quite easily, and can thus convince the computer to produce desired results, making the system disfunctional. There are quite a few reasons children, especially young ones, would want to make the software not work, including tricking the computer into moving from the original learning program into a more desired one and them simply wanting to see the program fail through their abilities. | Evidence | Effective |
aea8a8eebec8 | 85983B2516C5 | The idea of being able to find out the emotions of all of the chidlren in a school on a whim also rises privacy concerns that would need to be addressed before any program including this software would be implemented. | Claim | Effective |
fecd0fd5e947 | 85983B2516C5 | The information gathered from students could be used for selfish purposes, as explained in the sixth passage of the article, "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," showing that companies have use for this technology to better their businesses. If ad companies managed to get this emotional information from students all across the country, either from the government itself or through illegal actions, they could use that information to make new products and ads that would try to exploit the emotions of children. Because of this and the added concern of giving the information to the government itself, many parents would oppose a system that tracks and records the emotions of children. | Evidence | Effective |
b08b5cd575dc | 85983B2516C5 | Because of the lack of availablity, the potential cheating of the software, and the privacy concerns involved, the Facial Action Coding System is not able to be used in its current state to benefit schools. While this technology could be used in the future to help students, for example students with mental disabilities, it is not able to do so as it is now. It will be interesting to see what this and similar technologies grow to be, for better or for worse. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
2c111569363d | 85A320C7B916 | The author studies Venus the way some people study science and how others study math and English. The auhtor studies really hard on what he wants and needs to know. | Lead | Adequate |
8f35f395abe9 | 85A320C7B916 | Some dangers that it persents would be that not all of Venus is safe and not all of space is safe either | Claim | Adequate |
5a82a0a5e324 | 85A320C7B916 | Venus is a worthy planet because it does not have all of man kind on it destroying it or usig it. Venus is a place where some people go to see outisde of our world to see what space really does look like. | Position | Effective |
8d8859c9d7fc | 85A320C7B916 | In parargraph 1 it talks about about of Venues is sometimes called the "Evening Star" and it is one of the most brightest points of light in the night sky. It is also known as Earth's twin because Venus is closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. It says in paragraph 2 " Each perious mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. | Evidence | Ineffective |
aba7c1e874a3 | 85A320C7B916 | In conclusion is states in paragraph 8 " Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itslef, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into mnay equally intimidationg endeavors," Thoes words that came from paragraph 8 would probabaly be some what some danger but nit that much. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
7fdd9f35f9a5 | 85B22ACB7FBC | The notion that cell phones should be used while on the road is very disturbing and quiet unacceptable | Position | Adequate |
fc4534e85209 | 85B22ACB7FBC | If your distracted on the road, Car accidents may happen. | Claim | Adequate |
055979a803a5 | 85B22ACB7FBC | These are the factors that have lead up to cell phones not being a good decision when it comes to safety and driving on the road. | Evidence | Adequate |
481c5b4ee413 | 85B22ACB7FBC | In this day and age, mobile phones have become very addictive and hard to put down. | Claim | Adequate |
24337739fd74 | 85B22ACB7FBC | While young teens drive on the road, all the focus often tends to go to a snapchat or Instagram post, not only do addictive habits lead to car accidents but students will also see a downfall in studies and other extra circular activates. Phones can often be helpful for the use of gps and other driving apps but could cause a huge accident if not handled by the right person. | Evidence | Adequate |
66a3ef1030fb | 85B22ACB7FBC | Due to the brightness of the phone, it often leads to health issues, | Claim | Adequate |
63657abcda62 | 85B22ACB7FBC | Long hours of your eyes being exposed to the screen could lead to temporary loss of sight witch is never good. Also, headaches occur when most people are on the phone to much long hours often affect the ears witch leads to more problems occurring then normal. Scientist have shown that the more time we spend on our phones the more time are bodies are being affected. Things like slouching or leaning could lead to permit neck issues and back sprains. | Evidence | Ineffective |
b5da77bda344 | 85B22ACB7FBC | When your addicted to a phone driving and using the phone becomes a very hard. There is a new law in Georgia that says if you on on your phone while you are driving you will receive a ticket. | Claim | Adequate |
99777e2a0280 | 85B22ACB7FBC | Which is a good law and one that was very needed. There should be a law for that everywhere in the united states to help drivers so that they can avoid car accidents. | Evidence | Adequate |
b57ec258e862 | 85B22ACB7FBC | In conclusion, these are the factors that have lead up to phones on the road being a huge mistake. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
f39f0a946d17 | 85D4CB998D62 | Although, many people may think that going to Venus despite the dangers is not a good idea going to venus can also be benitfical with new safety measures, and technolgy. | Position | Adequate |
0d69c722ad16 | 85D4CB998D62 | One reason is, Venus is a sister planet to Earth but we don't know alot about it so we need to go there | Evidence | Ineffective |
6b573c56e028 | 85D4CB998D62 | Going to venus can be benitfical in may ways | Claim | Adequate |
948901a08db6 | 85D4CB998D62 | One way is thet it can give scientist good research that they don't have. It can also give them a way as said in the article "to examine more closely". Lastly we could gain more knowledge on living conditions in Venus. | Evidence | Adequate |
87a0efd36461 | 85D4CB998D62 | Even though, Venus is not the safest palce for anyone or anything to be NASA has came up with new safetey measures to ensure the people's safetey | Claim | Adequate |
4069a13cdf8e | 85D4CB998D62 | For one as said in the article Venus is a hot place. So NASA has came up with the idea that the people that will be going to venus would be floating on top of venus so that they will not only be safe but alive. Another way to ensure saftey is to use silicon devices since metal melts on Venus, and studies have shown that using silicon is efficient, and in the article is said to last "for three weeks" | Evidence | Adequate |
70809b68f707 | 85D4CB998D62 | Furthermore, not only do they have saftey measures they also uses technolgy | Claim | Adequate |
fdc6663ec949 | 85D4CB998D62 | From past reasearch it is known that Venus burns metal so that means that to have good resaerch you have to find somthing that is not meatal to conduct your resarch. So NASA has made another project when they look at old technolgy, and they realised that mechanical computers would help when researching Venus. Mechanical computers conduct "calculations by using gears and levers". Also mechanical computers does not need electronics at all | Evidence | Adequate |
a095e0d37161 | 85D4CB998D62 | In other words going to Venus can be very resourcful and problaly become of use in the future. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
72cf63071bd8 | 85E38E898579 | Venus is the second plant from the sun. People always called it the evening star because it is one of the brightest points of the ligth fromm the night sky when its dark, but the nickname was misleading because Venus was a plant. Venus migth be simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved to be an veery challenging place to see much closer. | Evidence | Ineffective |
53cdfd63378a | 85E38E898579 | One thing about Venus that it is the closer to Earth in way like the density and size and sometimes occasionally up close in distance too. Earth, Venus, and Mars, these three plants are like right next to each other like they are friends or neighbors and other plants orbit the sun in a different type of speeds. The differences in speed is that, we sometimes closer to Mars and sometimes its Venus. Its like play musical chair, but the three plants goes in different speeds then each other. So, since Venus is sometimes right around the corner in space, humans have to sent numerous of spacecraft to the land on to Earth.
Each pervious mission was a failed mission because no spacecrafts survived the landing, not even a few hours. And, its because a thick atmosphere that was a big atmosphere of amost 97 percent carbo dioxide blankets Venus. What's even more of a challenge are the clonds of the highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere that maade the temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what they experience on Earth. | Evidence | Ineffective |
cd78b18488db | 85E38E898579 | In conclucion, I think what the author study was good fact about the plant Venus. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
d4cf078a1b5e | 85FD6510C00A | Reisdents of VAUBAN that are car owners are allowed to park in two places in a large garage. alos at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home. some of the citizens where not to happy about the plan of having no car almost 4,000 drivers were fined, according to reuters 27 people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine.
At the Mobile World conress last year in Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford, executive chir man of the Ford Motor Company, laid out a bsiness plan for a world in which personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable. he proposed partnering with the telecommunications inustry to create cities in which pedestian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportaion traffic are woven into a cconneted network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.
Levittown and Scarsdale, Newy York suburbs with spread-out homes and private garages, were the dream towns of thw 1950s and still exert a strong appeal. But some new suburbs may well look more Vauban-like, not only in developed countries but also in the developing world, where emissions from an increasing number of private cars owned by the burgeoning middle class are choking cities. | Evidence | Ineffective |
9cfd87e59e80 | 866DBF36BC7C | The new technology that can describe how you are feeling from just ypur face is called, The Facial Action Coding system can be usefull in some positive ways or negitive,like it says in the articel you can read you classroom mines and you will know how they feel. | Lead | Adequate |
0e832c188701 | 866DBF36BC7C | In my opinion i think that they should use The Facial action coding system | Position | Adequate |
a1c6498d3583 | 866DBF36BC7C | because you never know what someone is hidding or what they thing about the lesson in class or the work in a job. | Claim | Adequate |
d1ac01dddfcc | 866DBF36BC7C | Also most of us will probably know how someone is feeling but some of us will not and that is were the Facial Action Coding system kickes in. | Claim | Adequate |
6c1e7bd8005f | 866DBF36BC7C | The most important thing about his machine is that there has been people that committed suicede and if the machine can detect what you feel i think that | Evidence | Adequate |
4bd2a2166f98 | 866DBF36BC7C | it can detect those people or kids and that way thier parents or teachers could know and stop it from happening and that machine can save a life or two. | Claim | Adequate |
c783c0db8c39 | 866DBF36BC7C | The machine can be also be used for police officers that need to slove a case or thing that someone is lying | Claim | Adequate |
418d8eaf39a3 | 866DBF36BC7C | so they will just have to put the machine in thier face and ask questions and that will beb a win for th epolice officers | Evidence | Adequate |
733eabe3c157 | 866DBF36BC7C | The article also said that the drawing of Mona Lisa was not only smilling she was also, ''9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, 83 percent happy and 2 percent angry''. | Evidence | Adequate |
41ef268b3ce6 | 866DBF36BC7C | So if that machine told them all those percents in just a smile that the painting did that is amazing. | Claim | Adequate |
01c8fb046b60 | 866DBF36BC7C | The best way to put this is that anything is posiblie you just have to do it, | Claim | Ineffective |
a42e752b920d | 866DBF36BC7C | Because in the article it says ''Moving you facial muscles not only expresses emotions but also may even help prduce them put on a happy face. I alsways thought that mona lisa was just happy in a picture but never in my mind did i thing that she was much more than just happy. The best is yet to come and we will not be worried about the stuff that happens becasue of their emotions because the Facial Action Coding System will get us covered.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
71f2fd9dfa9e | 866E03D00129 | The Facial Action Coding System is an invasion of privacy and should not be used in classrooms or on students. | Position | Adequate |
7fdbf0dad668 | 866E03D00129 | Students should chose when and to who they reveal their emotions, and this system deprives them of that freedom. | Claim | Effective |
dc242bb9a83d | 866E03D00129 | As stated in by Nick D'Alto, most human communication is not verbal. Meaning that people express their emotions by their looks or their actions, but they chose when to do this. The Facial Action Coding System takes away this freedom from students, they do not have the choice when to express what they are feeling if anyone can just use a face scanning system on them. " Imagine being able to detect exaclty how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions (D'Alto 1)," this first sentence perfectly shows how it takes away peoples freedom of when they want to express certian emotions tocertian people. | Evidence | Effective |
1b8ab16b04d9 | 866E03D00129 | Every human has naturaul rights, and in America everyone has the right to freedom of speech. But part of that right to speech is having the choice not to speak. The Facial action Coding System would take away people's freedom of facial expression or emotion. People should have the right to chose to who and when they express their emotions, and this system takes away these rights. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
c46ed7e0dbed | 86A3A166AA67 | The Facial Action Coding System is a new form of technology that enables computers to identify human emotions. Will the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable? | Lead | Adequate |
90a645c97a3f | 86A3A166AA67 | No. " FACS" will not be valuable to read the emotional expressions of students. | Position | Adequate |
8197feeee2dc | 86A3A166AA67 | A theory and technology such as emotions and the emotional state of someone should be based off of science instead of being based off opinion | Claim | Ineffective |
21c23e18e24a | 86A3A166AA67 | Take a minute and compare this new piece of technology to a quiz given on the internet to see what celebrity I would be. Moral of the story if the person can fake it, they can make it. | Evidence | Ineffective |
4d5370553bcd | 86A3A166AA67 | Someone can make believable facial expressions all day does not mean they are happy, sad, or any other emotion based on what they look like. A student may come in looking grumpy does not mean they are grumpy, maybe just maybe have you ever thought. " WOW, that just might be their natural facial expression." | Evidence | Adequate |
4fd7f7794bd2 | 86A3A166AA67 | To end with, unless this technology is enhanced and backed up with science instead of opinion I do not think it will be very dependable in determing the emotional expressions of students. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
3c77970cb8a2 | 86D1F207868B | Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. Some people may feel that it is better to have these projects student-designed rather than designed by the teacher themselves. Both project criterias have their positves and negatives, but the teachers should be the ones making the assignment. | Lead | Adequate |
49f7959212ef | 86D1F207868B | Now while a student-designed project has its benefits, the teachers should be designing the assignments | Position | Adequate |
88e4b787c6b0 | 86D1F207868B | what is best for the student | Claim | Ineffective |
30ab721b9348 | 86D1F207868B | the material the students must know before coming to the class. | Claim | Adequate |
efeca50b5f36 | 86D1F207868B | This statement could be countered with a claim that states that the students should design these assignments to help insure that they better understand the material. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
75ab2eedc7a3 | 86D1F207868B | The students could make a project that is accustomed to their own personality and the way they think. The students making the project may help the information get through to them better than the teacher could. | Evidence | Adequate |
66a5837e9f56 | 86D1F207868B | Both ideas have great benefits and help the student in their own way. | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
fc9fad812fc2 | 86D1F207868B | The teachers know what is best for the student and the material they need to be successful in the course. | Claim | Adequate |
350f10bcdfc2 | 86D1F207868B | The students may confuse themselves because they haven't actually learned the information yet. The students don't know exactly what the course is actually about. The teachers know the material and everything the student will learn during the course of the year. | Evidence | Adequate |
d4d4e5f6c2bd | 86D1F207868B | The teachers have spent years familiarizing themselves with the information and have gone to college to learn this stuff. The student has not yet taken the course and is not as familiar with the information as the teacher is. The student would be more beneficial by having the teacher tell them what they need to know and learn before taking the course. I believe these things because the teacher has more experience in this field than the student does. | Evidence | Adequate |
01eb0101e2c4 | 86D1F207868B | Overall, both ideas are great and really help them learn the material well, I just believe that the student would be better off by having the teacher design the assignment. The teachers know exactly the material the student needs to know to be successful in the course. The teacher have spent years familiarizing themselves with the information invoved in the course. The teachers should be designing the assignments because what is best for the student and the material the student must know before coming to the class. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
539a1dcebb38 | 86E5ADAE8206 | As a student, one of the worst situations is one where an assignment is given that is unclear, vague, or otherwise difficult to understand. Completing projects is usually a laborsome enough activity on its own, but when the question or prompt is incomprehensible, it turns a small hill of a task into a mountain of one. Too many students have been in this situation and know what it is like to be immeasurably confused and frustrated because the assignment is too difficult to interpret. To make matters worse, students quite often do not know how to contact their teachers during the summer, so they are given no help or clarity as to what they are supposed to do. | Lead | Effective |
e345ea1cc187 | 86E5ADAE8206 | To avoid this, as well as a multitude of other issues, summer projects should be designed by the students, | Position | Effective |
c361bbe76a81 | 86E5ADAE8206 | they understand how to design the project to make it more ideal | Claim | Effective |
966ba4c33759 | 86E5ADAE8206 | it will allow the students to have more control over which direction the project is taken, | Claim | Effective |
6879a8adf073 | 86E5ADAE8206 | it would also benefit the teachers by stopping them from having to do even more work. | Claim | Effective |
e9a68e523193 | 86E5ADAE8206 | Different people can take different pieces of information away from the same things. Sometimes people will pick up on completely different parts of text than others would. This should not be an issue, but when a teacher is pushing for students to make a project from one angle or perspective, it could prove very restricting since they did not form the same viewpoint on the information | Evidence | Adequate |
29327d90f094 | 86E5ADAE8206 | By designing their own projects, students could eliminate this obstacle and just create something based on what they took away from their learning | Claim | Effective |
2d3003b740c1 | 86E5ADAE8206 | This would help students to be much more creative and would allow them to properly highlight what they learned | Evidence | Adequate |
f9defb674f97 | 86E5ADAE8206 | One could argue that this is counter intuitive since students would not all have the takeaway the teacher wants them to gain, | Counterclaim | Effective |
58dcdf85a3a4 | 86E5ADAE8206 | but summer projects are once again just about assuring that students are learning and usually not followed up on as true assignments. The question of if a student learned the same thing as everyone else should not be as important as them just learning something relevant in general. | Rebuttal | Effective |
0d6f44640172 | 86E5ADAE8206 | Giving students control over what they do for a summer project could greatly benefit their learning. By requiring them to design the project themselves, students are then also required to step up to the plate and be more responsible and creative. Learning to develop these characteristics is far more important than any history or science lesson their project may be on. As stated earlier, summer projects are usually not followed up on, making students even more likely to forget what they learned about from them. And at the very least, making the projects student-designed would save teachers from having to do it themselves, which they would most likely appreciate since they are already given enough work as is. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
b56c65993313 | 86FD29FA8938 | I think that the Facial Action Coding System is a good idea for the studetns in the classroom. | Position | Adequate |
c769a2e58eec | 86FD29FA8938 | It may be good for many different other things, for example if someone needs help or in danger as in they could be crying showing that they are scared. | Claim | Adequate |
2edb62f7be3c | 86FD29FA8938 | But I feel they should take it a little more exstreme for things like could also have audio and could really help with peoples lives. Not even the bad emotions if you are happy or exicted it can sense that and something good could happen.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
