"Venus is often referred to as Earth's twin" Paragraph 2, is perfect arguement to start with, because as you can see venus is already considered as twin of Earth. It's natural geographic is similar to Earth's, so it already proves Venus could had a possibility of having oceans, lake, and bodies of water in the past. The density and size is same to Earth too so we will have vaguely same space as Earth. Venus is too hot to survive so we can do blimp-like vehicle above venus and still stay in their gravity and have people survive in the atmosphere above the fray. We could send people over there to research first before doing anything, If they makes people feels safer about living on Venus.

There is reason for saying those things about Venus, the reason for saying those things are that we are currently overpopulating Earth we currently have over 7 Billion people living. We need more room for more people in the future and im concered if we dont move to other planet, Earth will be crowded. It already is crowded in some areas of Earth, like New York, California, New Delhi, and more. "Our travels on earth and beyond should be not limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edge of imagination and innovation." Is a good statment to make to encourage people to explore Venus more. There is some people who hope that we will move to other planet.

Yes schools are a place of learning, but while students are in school they are building creative thoughts that are just waiting to be used. giving the students the chance to design their summer summer project helps give the schools notice of what future creator you are putting into the world. If the students are creating their own summer project it teaches then about Independence, and that they don't need a teacher standing over top of them to do their work.

In the future humans will finally reach the land of Venus but in the mean time many more features about the planet are yet to be seen and uncovered. The space craft can only provide so much information from a distance that with better technology a space craft may be able to get closer to the planet for more indetailed information. As far as that is it's closer than you'd think and the author's information and details of the planet in the article are very ear listening for any reader looking for information of the planet.

Summer is like a brainwash. Students seem to forget everything they learned in school that year over the summer.

A greater range of creativity would encite students to finish their projects faster if they were given a wider range of mediums to work with instead of just paper and pencil, or a computer program. Even when it's not over the summer, being assigned a project where I can make a poster or create a diorama instead of writing a paper is already much more exciting to me because I'm given a bunch of different mediums to work with. I personally prefer creating something big and artsy to sitting down and churning out a paper within a set time frame. The process of creating something huge feel much more satisfying because I can visibly see when I am done. Completing a paper still has a feeling of satisfaction but the overall feeling is dulled because no creativity was released. A greater range of creativity also allows for a much more interesting presentation. A differentation of styles in projects makes the overall project much more interesting and increases the chances of students paying attention for longer during those presentations.

The mindset for summer is just fun, fun, fun. Adding a summer project dampens that mindset. It becomes a burden for students to deal with. No one wants to do schoolwork over the summer, summer is the time for fun! Allowing students to create a student designed project would create an overall better mindset towards how summer project are viewed. I know that I don't want to do school work over the summer. Giant math packets, books to read, papers to write, it's all so tedious and I always end up pushing it off til August, where I'm then rushing to get it all done in time for the start of school. If I were to be given a project that I could control, it would already seem so much better because I would be in full control over what I did for the project or how I approached a problem I encountered with it. It's important to keep a healthy mindset in school so you don't burn yourself out

When I think of school projects, I think of teachers handing them out at the end of a quarter or towards the end of school to be completed over the summer. Projects are a way to either boost or bring down your grade, depending on how you do. Because of that effect on grades, important projects tend to stress students out. When students are given more control over a project it immediately takes stress off the student because they automatically control how their project is made and presented. Teacher designed projects are made to showcase how well teachers teach their students. If more students get a higher grade on a project, the credibility of that teacher goes up. They are viewed as a better teacher overall. While teacher designed projects might have more academic results, having projects be student-designed creates a wider range of creativity, control over how the project is executed, and makes a more postive mindset for students.

I think people shouldn't be able to use their phone in any capacity while operating a vehicle.

My first reason is that it can cause people to either harm themselves or others who are in the vehicle with them or, the person whose car they come in impact with while on their phone while operating a vehicle.

Second reason is because due to the lack of concentration while driving being the phone while operating on a moving vehicle is one of the main causes of most wrecks in the United States, which is the leading cause to distraction in a car is a cell phone.

"Resources show that according to The National Safety Council that 1.2 million car crashes in 2013 involved drivers talking on the phone and at least 341,000 involved in text messaging." Also talking on the phone while driving is becoming more and more life threatening when multitasking behind the wheel of an operated vehicle.

I truly believe that using a phone while driving shouldn't be allowed, because for safety the driver needs to be more cautious for their life and the other person who is in another car that the driver who wants to be on the phone while driving comes in impact with all because they refuse to wait until they get to the destination that they are going. I know some opponents whose work is literally dependent on the use of a cell phone every single day such as people like lawyers entrepreneur's and business men believe that they have to always be available to answer the phone at all cost just to make sure their business or cast is still running smoothly.

Some people believe that using a phone while driving isn't the reason wrecks happened. Some say the cause comes from people who get too into whatever they're looking at or they get too occupied with the conversation with the other person that's on the other end of the phone. Which makes them take their attention of the road which leads to people not seeing a vehicle pulling out in front of them and then they rear end each other.

As I said before I believe that people shouldn't use their phones while driving, but if you look at it from another person's point of view you start to wonder if like what if the person is a person who is sick and needs to be checked on every now and then, or someone who has to have assistance on something.
