166e4c33548c | 94E1D46A0544 | Sincerly,therefor if the princple dicidcides to make having a elxctoal activity a requirment he or she is leading students to succeed in th future if all schools do this etheir their will be less poverty or more students passing by the years will drop out which do the people choice? | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
f801651f5452 | 9500B623A6AC | Have you ever been sitting in class wondering what emotions the students around you are feeling? Have you ever wondered how to make things less boring and confusing in the classroom? Well now you can with the all new Facial Action Coding System. It's a system that can figure out the emotions that you are feeling just from your facial expressions. | Lead | Adequate |
e9702e7c0f37 | 9500B623A6AC | I feel as if this could help in the classroom but not as much as Dr. Huang thinks | Position | Adequate |
fa7fcbde3847 | 9500B623A6AC | I think that yes it would help with making class less boring and/ or confusing but it can also just lead to even more frustation or sadness. It also isn't going to help if you are sitting in front of an actual human teacher and not a computer. | Evidence | Adequate |
5f409d4f3aca | 9500B623A6AC | If a student if feeling strong emotions such as saddness or fear; they need to talk to a friend about it, someone they can trust, not a computer. | Evidence | Ineffective |
e83b39b9eca8 | 9500B623A6AC | So in conclusion, I give this system about a 50% chance of it helping in the classroom like Dr. Huang says it will. Theres just not really anything you can do to make school fun for someone that doesn't think its fun. I think it could help with other activities though, such as playing video games or watching videos. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
5f4dfbdfb18d | 951F417BA64F | When it comes to the technology that reads students emotions I think its a great idea of having it in classrooms | Position | Adequate |
3fae9389a59a | 951F417BA64F | Although some may ask, why dont you just ask us how we feel in this class | Counterclaim | Adequate |
82ca824d9aa2 | 951F417BA64F | Others might just nit want to answer the question. So it would be easier to just get your answer from a mechine that gives you the answer you want. | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
a4aedaebaf91 | 951F417BA64F | There are many advantages to this technology when it come to reading other emotions. | Claim | Adequate |
c8e13dfdddbf | 951F417BA64F | When using this device you could find out if many students are interested in the activity the teacher is talking about. You could also find out if the are just bored to death that they just want to get up and leave.
| Evidence | Adequate |
bb537aac81b7 | 951F417BA64F | This technololgy could help with many things in the future by getting rid of all the non-fun things that happen in classroom | Claim | Adequate |
544a544ffb7b | 951F417BA64F | If this technology was in high schools I think the way teachers teach thing now days would be way better. For example, when the author put the mini lesson about moving you face in different emothions that was a good lesson. Just from that I learn that just moving your face around in different emotion could make you feel like the face you just made. | Evidence | Adequate |
c7cea287b74f | 951F417BA64F | When it come to technology about your emotions in the classroom i think it would be very useful. Not only will the teachers know if students are interested, they will know if they need to change the way they teach things in class. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
2ad68d3ecba0 | 95765CEE7D74 | Many schools incorporate summer learning into their students' curriculum to have them maintain knowledge gained throughout the school year. Although these projects are thought to be beneficial for students, the topics and activities given by teachers are often strenuous, and frankly, uninteresting to students, especially during their summer break. | Lead | Adequate |
6072c801de54 | 95765CEE7D74 | Summer projects assigned to kids should be allowed to be student designed | Position | Adequate |

e08dd66cfbc0 | 95765CEE7D74 | Allowing student designed projects means letting them take control and organizing their own thoughts in which they see fit. | Claim | Adequate |
cd6ca0c76aa3 | 95765CEE7D74 | Students must be taught responsibility, and by allowing them to create their own rubrics, guidelines, and ideas, it promotes creativity and a sense of control in a child's mind. | Claim | Adequate |
a3ba125c267c | 95765CEE7D74 | By allowing this flexibility of guidelines and rules, kids can stretch their ideas further without having to feel they have gone off-topic because it will be designed by them. | Evidence | Ineffective |
19febeab6bc6 | 95765CEE7D74 | Although some might claim that teacher designed summer projects are more structured and educational for students | Counterclaim | Adequate |
212c52d571e1 | 95765CEE7D74 | this is a flawed argument because most assignments given by teachers are strict and are only focused on a certain topic that not every student will take interest in. It's also important to give students a chance to be creative with their own guidelines and requirements, something that is restricted when a rubric designed to a teacher's expectations is given. Students would simply thrive more if handed an assignment they could create and build on their own. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
4a539850674a | 95765CEE7D74 | schools should begin leaning more towards student designed summer assignments because of the immense freedom that is given and the responsibility that is required of students to create their own projects. It is important that from a young age, kids are able to write, discuss, and learn more about topics they are passionate about, and it is even more important that we do not limit their creativity because of the idea that projects should be teacher designed. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
696173574732 | 9579E25F6CCC | Image this, Your a person who doesn't really get out much, you don't talk to that many people, and you just generally keep to yourself. Now, think about this next question I'm going to ask you. If you were like that, would you be jumping out of your seat to do an extracurricular activity? If you were in this position, you would most likely say no. For some people, they need someone to help them take that step, and get out their and meet new people | Lead | Effective |
c99618ecad3a | 9579E25F6CCC | It's for this reason why I think that all students should have to do at least one extracurricular activity, | Position | Effective |
cd36f6010f89 | 9579E25F6CCC | it can help them make new friends, | Claim | Adequate |
15327d628a04 | 9579E25F6CCC | it can help them discover new hobbies and talents | Claim | Adequate |
6761f2797b3c | 9579E25F6CCC | it can improve their confidence and team building skills.
| Claim | Adequate |
284835f7ed29 | 9579E25F6CCC | My First Reason for this way of thinking is that it can help the person make new friends! | Claim | Adequate |
ad05559b7a24 | 9579E25F6CCC | For example, look at this study that the Social Interaction and Communication Association took at a local middle school. When Students were pushed, or put out of their comfort zone to more things with others, they talked around 30% more than they use to, and had 45% easier time making friends with others. This shows that pushing these kids to talk to others more, or easing them out of their comfort zone, can really help them find people they can depend on. Showing that doing something like this can really be good for them. There isn't just that, there is also more evidence that proves this point! Generic_Name, A Counselor at Generic_School, Had this to say about pushing kids to do activities to meet new people "There is usually a reason kids can be like this, it's because they haven't found the group of people that understand them, when pushed though, they can find those people, and feel like they belong,". This shows that, from what Generic_Name observed, the students can find their people if they have someone help them try something new, and that they just need that little push to find them. | Evidence | Effective |
2ce74e3386e6 | 9579E25F6CCC | My next reason is that it could help you find talents and interests you wouldn't have found out by yourself. | Claim | Effective |
01d7a337b4fe | 9579E25F6CCC | For Example, Here is what Justin Green, Author of fantasy books, had to say when asked about how he learned he liked to write, "Honestly, I first learned about my love of writing when I joined a writing club as a teenager, without that club, I may have never learned about my passion,". This shows that, even adults learned from taking that step, and learned about hobbies that they would have never known about otherwise! Another Example I have is a study made by The West Virginia Sports Association. They asked multiple college sports teams about when and how they gained the interest for the sport. A total of 50% of them said they learned about it through being pushed to take that step, and going out of their comfort zone. This means that, it's not just writing and more smaller hobbies, but sports like soccer and football as well. Showing that even famous people may have been pushed to take the step, and find their passion. | Evidence | Effective |
1125d3414db7 | 9579E25F6CCC | My final reason is that it can build confidence and team building skills! | Claim | Effective |
f1ff852ed22d | 9579E25F6CCC | Going out of your comfort zone can really help you feel better about yourself, and not just keeping to yourself. Some Evidence for this is that, in a study taken by the Social Interaction and Communication Association, 60% of students that keep to themselves have lower than average self esteem. This would make sense seeing how if they always keep to themselves, they don't really have anyone to comfort them in their darker times, which this rule could help prevent. More Evidence that highlights this point is when Zachary Andrews, A College student from Colombia, had this to say, "I honestly never really talked to that many people when I was younger, I didn't really like myself, and didn't think I deserved friends, but when my parents made me join the basketball team, I met and found people that I got along with really well,". This would show that their is still hope for people that have low self esteem, that just have to have help taking the big step. | Evidence | Effective |
db1c6af57d93 | 9579E25F6CCC | A lot of people on the other side say rule goes against people's right to make a choice for themselves. The most common example they use for this is that, in a study made by Mental Psychology University, 40% of students with lower self esteem and social problems often stay in their shell, out of habit and anger of being forced to participate. | Counterclaim | Effective |
ef9f784d14d7 | 9579E25F6CCC | While that may be true, we can't help the people that will break out of their shell if we just look at the minority. Gary Smith, A Professor of psychology claimed the following, "while there may be others that refuse to participate, we can't eliminate the rule completely, doing so could lead to the students growing up with social problems, such as depression, or suicidal thoughts,". Looking at this, it shows that we are still helping people break free, and really live their lives, the others may just need more help with meeting new people. Everyone can do it, it just might take more time for others. | Rebuttal | Effective |
45429b1772c7 | 9579E25F6CCC |
Overall, I feel that I have made many points and examples on why students should have to do at least one extracurricular activity. Such as it helping you make new friends, it can help them discover hobbies, it improving confidence and team building skills, and how we shouldn't focus on the minority when it comes to this rule. This rule can really help so many people that can't break out of their shells on their own, and really save them from a dark future without any support to help them through it | Concluding Statement | Effective |

01103cf52159 | 957EE90E67F9 | I know this because in the text it says "NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus." In the article it also says "referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too."
| Evidence | Adequate |

03bc2169346f | 957EE90E67F9 | NASA has an future plan to send humans to study Venus because NASA wants t o experiemnt life on Venus. I know this because in the article it says " Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." Another reason would be "scientist even discussing further visits to its surface." Final reason would be because "Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us." This is why NASA plans to send humans to study about Venus. | Evidence | Adequate |

959eae9892ad | 957EE90E67F9 | I know this because in the article it says "Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds." Another reason would be because "scientists disscus further visits to its surface." Final reason is because both Earth and Venus are very identical and scientist plan to expand human life and have people start studying Venus. This is why Earth is identical to Venus. | Evidence | Adequate |

bc9ba5c9e923 | 957EE90E67F9 | I know this because in the article it says "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could of have supported Various forms of life." Another reason would be because "NASA's possible solutions to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." Final reason would be "scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand would need to get up close and personal despite the risks." This is why NASA is approching to study Venus. | Evidence | Adequate |
5745452e2fc5 | 957EE90E67F9 | The author suggests studying Venus because of humans are curious about this planet. I know this because NASA is approching to studying about Venus. Another reason is because NASA has future plans to send human to Venus. Final reason is because Venus looks similar to earth. This is why the author suggest studying about Venus. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
77b5ca618206 | 958BACFAF66B | "The Challenging of Exploring Venus", many scientists are wanting to exlpore Venus atmosphere. But it comes with risk and danger, possibly NASA scientists can break through that | Position | Ineffective |
1ae3d9b489bc | 958BACFAF66B | Venus is 'Earth's twin", yet is a challenging planet for humans to study. Why? The thick atmosphere of 97% carbon dioxide blankets Venus, with a tempature over 800 degrees Farenheit and an atmospheric pressure 90 times greater than what we could or would ever expirence here on Earth. Not to mention the erupting volcanoes, powerful earhtquakes, frequent lightning, with the hottest tempature of any other planet; traveling would be indisputable. Venus at one point was "Eath like", the planet still has familiar features such as rocky sediment, valleys, mountains, and craters. | Evidence | Adequate |
7316345e9fbc | 958BACFAF66B | Someway scientist have thought of some way to possibly research the mysterious planet, NASA has created a so called 'blimp' that would allow the scientists to be able to hover over Venus landscape 30 miles up. At 30 miles up, Venus would be at a 170 degrees Farenheit and pressure would be what it seems like at sea level on Earth. It is not easy conditions, but survivable for humans. Although, most forms of light can't penetrate the dense atmosphere, concerning standard forms of photography and videography ineffective or not clear. There would not be any samples of rock, gas, or anything else that would be of use. To have a thorough mission and search, you would have to get up close and personal, despite the risks, and danger. Creating a more resistant of objects that could sustain the pressure, heat and other forces. | Evidence | Adequate |
934ee5629ef8 | 958BACFAF66B | Venus is a difficult and dangerous planet to research, but perhaps one day scientists will be able to create the most effective way possible. "Imagination and Innovation, not Danger and Doubts" | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
eaa24c7bd31a | 95A558C8882D | There have been many studies done to find a new home for humanity. One of the planets that scientist have been looking at as a new home is Venus. | Lead | Adequate |
22f8311f7594 | 95A558C8882D | Altought there are many dangers- such as the temperature, atmophere, and natural distaters- Venus has many good qualities and is very similar to Earth. | Position | Adequate |
9d7ac8bed983 | 95A558C8882D | Venus is similar to Earth by its air pressure being similar to the Earth's sea level pressure, being close to the sun having pleanty of solar power, and once believed to have oceans and support life.
| Claim | Adequate |
27848a16d959 | 95A558C8882D |
Venus is often called the Earths sister, or twin. Venus has a realitively similar size to Earth and is actually the closest in distance to Earth. Scientist believe, altought not able to land on Venus, that Venus has a similar surface to Earth as well. Scientist say that Venus has a rocky surface and, as the article says, "... features such as valleys, mountains, and creaters" (paragraph 4). With this, it is also believed that Venus once had oceans. If Venus had oceans, there is a chance that Venus can support life on its surface.
Not only is there a posibility that Venus might have had water, the air pressure is very similar to the sea levels on Earth. In Paragraph 5, the article says "... the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth". This means that those who lived on Venus would not be crushed by the weight of the air pressure. On other planet the air pressure is heavy enough to crush a person and is not suitable to live on. | Evidence | Adequate |
1c4ced7e4ac1 | 95A558C8882D | Another reason that Venus would be suitable for humaity is because it is the second planet in the solar system and is exposded to a lot of sun light | Claim | Ineffective |
b3713264be46 | 95A558C8882D | As many people know, there is a big need for energy on Earth. As a result of this, the Earth is running out of fossial fuel and that is one of the reasons the Earth is dying. If humaity lived on Venus there would be a big source of solar energy, which is renewable energy. | Evidence | Ineffective |
48e9e2171b26 | 95A558C8882D | But like everything, there is a down side to living so close to the sun.
| Counterclaim | Adequate |
615146ae5138 | 95A558C8882D | Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Venus could melt many of the metals that we use in our everyday lifes. Because Venus is the hottest planet, the temperature can reach an average of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Not only can the surface temperature be high, but there is 97% level of carbon dioxide in Venus' atmophere. Scientist have proven that humans would only withstand three weeks on Venus because of these conditions. | Evidence | Adequate |
0b3c79c43e37 | 95A558C8882D | Even though there are many things stopping us from living on Venus now, there are still many things that we do not know about the Earth's twin. There is still so much more to explore on Venus. But for now we know that the air pressureis similar to Earths sea level pressure, it is close to the sun having pleanty of solar power, and is once believed to have oceans and support life. And one day Venus might need to become our new home. But until then, the human race will stay on Earth. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

6517e0a1c282 | 95BC127CB3A2 | The reason why they feel that way is because of this quote "large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, Along with a home." This quote is basically saying that many residents in Germany would be spending over millions of dollars for a house and most of the money would be on one parking space that they necessarily dont need. | Evidence | Adequate |

f89a655dd869 | 95D1717166FC | Venus is Earth's sister planet. But along with being our sister planet, Venus has the highest recorded temperature of any planet in our solar system. Along with having the highest temperature recorded, Venus also has an atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than the atmospheric pressure on Earth. Clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid also coat Venus's atmosphere, making it difficult to even make it through the outer layers of Venus's atmosphere. So why would Earth's scientists still want to vist Venus?

d095ebbc9d91 | 95D1717166FC | The author tells the reader about how Venus was probably covered in oceans that could have supported life, similar to Earth. The planet also has many other land forms that are similar to the ones we have here on Earth, such as, valleys, rocks, and craters. | Evidence | Adequate |
618d4f4166f8 | 95D1717166FC | The author proceeds to say that "the value of returning to Venus is indisputable." | Claim | Adequate |
6733531459ce | 95D1717166FC | Although there are many dangers of sending vessels back to Venus, the author states that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, otherwise known as NASA, is working on ways to send astronauts to Venus. The author also tells the reader that solar power on Venus would be abundant, and that radiation levels would be similar to those on Earth. He goes on to say that the temperature would be around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, not an ideal temperature for astronauts traveling to Venus, but it is survivable. | Evidence | Ineffective |
21e4448a82a5 | 95D1717166FC | While traveling to Venus may take Earths scientists years to figure out, and be very costly, the information we could learn would be invaluable.

a777ee51447b | 95EE2E824EB6 | Every day millions of children come home on a bus instead of staying after school, and for many, there is a very good reason. It seems to make sense, having everyone take a extra curricular activity, but in reality it doesn't work. Every student has a reason to go, or not to go to an extra curricular activity and some reasons are not just because of preference. Not everyone has a lifestyle that allows them to stay after school or do a sport, many of the students won't have a way to get home. The school will not be able to provide enough buses for these students either. There isn't even enough room in the current activity rooms to hold 78 kids, and the materials needed are to expensive. | Lead | Effective |

f4d04ec35ccc | 95EE2E824EB6 | If our school system made extra curricular activities mandatory the first problem would be the amount of space needed to support the students activity. | Claim | Effective |
7b7ffd96509a | 95EE2E824EB6 | For example, there are almost 900 students in my school, This would mean in the 10 after school activities my school provides, there would need to be 90 kids in each one; That's enough to fill 4 classrooms. This brings up another problem, the school can't have 150 kids in one program and 10 in the other, so the school would have to chose the activity for us. Just that fact alone takes all the excitement out of the activity, just for reference, imagine the star quarter back on the football ending up in art instead, possibly destroying his or her whole football career. Most of my school's after school activities need certain spaces for the participants to practice and do their activity. For instance the robotics team only has one room with all of the vices, saws, and tools while the other robotics rooms will have students constantly running between the other rooms getting tools that they dont have in their completely different room. The cheer leading team will have to move to the gym to fit all the people, but so did the pep band, and basketball practice is already in the gym, but they could just go in the auxiliary gym which is smaller than the cafeteria, the problem with that is the wrestling team is already in the auxiliary gym. The school has no room to fit every team and all of the clubs. | Evidence | Effective |

The robotics team pays around 600 dollars for each robot, and more for the competitions, now that program has to buy 15 robots and buy more slots at the competitions. If some how the schools were able to afford these expensive along with all other clubs, teachers, and staff salaries it would come from our local taxes. This would double our local taxes, but if the schools decide not to over tax the citizens of Generic_School than there would be no way the school could provide the gear and equipment for the school's clubs and teams. My school's sports gear is already worn out and our schools are in dire need of new equipment, but there is no way we could spend 7 times as much just to give everyone more cheap and basic equipment. | Evidence | Effective |
d0bfd95a8c29 | 95EE2E824EB6 | On most days my dad gets home at around six so when my activity ends at 4:30 in the afternoon i have to take the bus. Currently my school has 2 activity buses, one for Generic_City and one for Generic_City. The activity bus arrives at my home which is 5 miles away at 5:40 in the evening, it takes the bus 1 hour and 10 minutes to drop me off at my home. With a direct route the bus would have to travel at 4 mph. There is no way the school can hire enough buses to work almost 12 straight hours a day. If the school really can't find enough buses each bus would have to make 70 stops. Many students won't be able to be picked up by their parents and will be forced to endure the 3 hour bus ride through a city with only 30 square miles of residential area.

f6c3585955eb | 95EE2E824EB6 | If our schools really made after school activities mandatory, it would be a disaster. One of the biggest issues with this topic is that in its simple form it looks like a great idea, but when you look at the details and what it would cause it shows the big mistake it would be. Giving every student the chance to do an interactive activity they enjoy would be incredible. Sadly, doing that in our current school system would cause all after school activities to stop going to competitions due to the over crowding; The students would not be able to pick their own activity and would be forced to do something they are bad at or just dislike. Making the activities would not only be a punishment to the students of Generic_School but to the teachers, the bus drivers, the custodians, the administrators, the taxpayers, and even our entire county's well being. In this scenario it may at first look like everybody wins, but really when you look at the real facts everybody loses. The entire mentality of school will become even more negative as students are stripped of their choice to do something they enjoy and taken away from time with their family. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
