96e919fb461c | AD3FFB7CA387 | Electric cars are a new invention, and for the past decade they have been atempting at perfecting an electric car. The brand,
Tesla , has already released a few electric cars that seem to work quite well. The vehicles make no noise when driving, and they even have a new "sportsy" look to them, for th young adults that want a nice looking car. But the only problem is the battery. Electric cars are being banned in some states due to the lack of reliability with these batteries. They have not yet been perfected, and can cause accidents. But even with the risk one would be taking while driving one of these cars on the streets, it is still a fantastic replacement for normal cars, since it does not release anything that can harm the environment. So the best solution would be to wait a few years until the batteries get better and the prices drop, then purchase an electric car, but still know when to stop using it and ride the bicycle instead. | Evidence | Adequate |
87553c00dbf3 | AD3FFB7CA387 | Combining the use of a battery rather than gasoline, and not overusing the car, you will have the perfect combination, which is what everybody should strive to accomplish. Help the environment, and get the right amount of exercise. | Position | Effective |
8fbc79c18154 | AD3FFB7CA387 | In the end, cars are still one of the most common and one of the greatest things on Earth today. Getting a first car is a dream come true, but too much of it can be harmful. So get some use out of the bicycle, avoid poisoning the atmosphere, and cars will be a vehicle with no reprocautions at all, and it will be the perfect source for transportation, while keeping your morals where they should be. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
0bad85a4af22 | ADAE8A21CE9E | people should not waste there oney on something like that because by would peole need to know the emotions of students students are either happy neutral or sad | Position | Adequate |
c816f005d1b3 | ADAE8A21CE9E | at least thtats my opinion but really something like that just seems like a huge waste of money we dont come to school to talk about our emotionsn we come to school because we need to learn and make new friendsand thats why i think a device that can read emotions is a huge wasste of money. plus it sounds pretty worthless if you ask me if you wanna know if someone is sad or not just ask us and we should answer its that simple theres no need to build something that complicated when you can just ask them youself theres really no need for something thats that complicated also what about mona lesa smileing thay said they needed that to discover if were smiling good to i think we can tell if someone is smiling and if someones isnt so yeah | Evidence | Ineffective |

9d6922631c41 | AE0BBF382263 | Is Venus a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents? | Lead | Adequate |
192b97074899 | AE0BBF382263 | Venus poses several dangerous obsticles to pursuit because of how dangerous the planet actually is, which makes the time of pursuing the planet not reasonable and not worth the time for scientist | Position | Adequate |
dc14f8381f18 | AE0BBF382263 | The author says, "studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." | Evidence | Ineffective |
a53c39f2bb65 | AE0BBF382263 | It is hard already to study Venus because of its atmoshere, which is made up of almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide, makes the planet Venus the hottest planet in our solar system. | Claim | Adequate |
9924c9fa9cfa | AE0BBF382263 | Which creates big problems for spacecrafts to land on the surface of the planet because of the intense heat that Venus produces. | Evidence | Adequate |
08948d1e3460 | AE0BBF382263 | In paragraph 2, the author says, "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this isse explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more that three decades." | Evidence | Adequate |
3316a654a378 | AE0BBF382263 | The author gives good reason to why trying to land a spacecraft is not the best option to obsevre the planet | Claim | Adequate |
d53df79da5d5 | AE0BBF382263 | Instead, focus on another planet that is well worth the time and money of a spacecraft. It would only take moments for the spacecrafts to be liquefied after standing on Venus's surface. Spending more time on a different planet that has an atmosphere and geological features similar to earth would be ground breaking for science and especially NASA. | Evidence | Ineffective |
c19e56378236 | AE0BBF382263 | In paragraph 3, the explains, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenges are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth." | Evidence | Adequate |
c6e314346452 | AE0BBF382263 | Venus is too hot for us to explore. Landing a spacecraft would only last moments because of how severe the weather is on Venus | Claim | Adequate |
b251c66f810a | AE0BBF382263 | An environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify many metals. Also, Venus's geological landscape and weather like erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes. | Evidence | Adequate |
a3e0ce18183c | AE0BBF382263 | In paragraph 6, the author states, "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 forms of photography and videography ineffective" | Evidence | Adequate |
758496754233 | AE0BBF382263 | Since entering Venus's atomsphere is deadly, even hovering over the planet is not enough for finding more information and observations about the hot planet. | Claim | Adequate |
f0974c1bd87d | AE0BBF382263 | Hovering will only give scientist limited details about the planet. Also, having no light shining out of the planet makes it difficult for scientist to observe the planet. | Evidence | Adequate |
8756b108f947 | AE0BBF382263 | Not being able to observe every characteristics of Venus would not make it well worth the mission to study more about Venus.
| Claim | Adequate |
6cfc3ae4a4a1 | AE0BBF382263 | Pursuing Venus is not well worth the time and money for NASA or any other scientist, which does not make it reasonable for scientist to study and want to go more in depth about the hot planet Venus. Venus poses several dangerous obsticles to pursuit because of how dangerous the planet actually is. Overall, Venus is just too dangerous for people to explore, its not convienent for astronomers and NSA. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
120eb7ef0397 | AE37AE3F79C7 | After the school year ends, students return to their homes feeling a great sense of relief that the school year is over, and that they're about to get a much needed break. However, just because school has stopped doesn't mean that learning should. Three entire months off is long time, and many students actually forget most of what they learned over the past year and need to be refreshed when they return to school. It would save everyone a lot of time if students came back to school with the last year's information still fresh in their minds. The simple solution to this problem is summer assignments. | Lead | Effective |
d2375fa1a9d8 | AE37AE3F79C7 | it is critically important that these summer assignments are student-designed, meaning that most of what is done for the assignment is thought of by the student rather than simply following the guidelines of their teacher | Position | Effective |
bf5d726062ea | AE37AE3F79C7 | it encourages and teaches self motivated learning | Claim | Adequate |
94ca07be5914 | AE37AE3F79C7 | will be something the student is more passionate about | Claim | Adequate |
becf2752be04 | AE37AE3F79C7 | will be less stress on teachers. | Claim | Adequate |
a2e4f2a81f80 | AE37AE3F79C7 | Self-motivated learning is when the student has a desire to learn and therefore works hard to learn information without having to be pushed by their teachers. The truth is that while teachers can relay all the necessary information to students, if the students don't want anything to do with it they will learn far less effectively than students who do want to learn. By asking students to create their own summer assignment, it forces them into a new learning environment in which they have to take charge of their learning. Upon being put into this position, students will have to adapt to learn how to teach themselves information. This is a very valuble life skill that will be very helpful to them later in their lives, as self-education is needed for many things that are not taught in school as well as in the workplace. Motivating themselves is an important skill that can be taught through student-designed summer work. | Evidence | Effective |
aaf295da4ee5 | AE37AE3F79C7 | giving students the ability to choose between what they have to do for their summer projects enables them to make the topic or submission format something that they are more passionate about than what they might otherwise be taught in school. | Claim | Effective |
94438ca97d04 | AE37AE3F79C7 | Typically, in a learning context, more passion or excitement transfers to more success at whatever it is the students are trying to learn. Being more passionate about something causes people to interact with it much more, and interaction is key to the learning of many students. In addition, students being excited to do something furthers the self-motivation mentioned above. If there is something that a student wants to do, they will do it without needing a teacher to tell them to. Overall, the passion that comes from student-designed summer work makes it a much more fun and more effective experience for students. | Evidence | Effective |
9ef34c0d8209 | AE37AE3F79C7 | Teachers work very hard to plan, produce, and grade all of the students' schoolwork for the entire school year. They deserve to have a break! By letting students take charge of their summer work, it takes an extra burden off the shoulders of the people who dedicated their lives to educating America's youth for a meager government salary. With the extra time they have without having to plan and construct a summer assignment, teachers can do many things, such as get the jump on later assignments that they will have to make, enjoy some time with their friends and family, or just get some much needed sleep. This extra time for teachers is another fantastic reason why summer assignments should be student-designed. | Evidence | Effective |
45a7243c68a5 | AE37AE3F79C7 | There is no doubt that summer assignments are a necessary part of learning, in order to continue to teach information and to help students remember information that they would otherwise forget. But these assignments should not be simple rubrics and reading notes, they should be something different. Something that is going to have a significant impact on everyone in the education system. Something that will build a strong new generation without overworking the old ones. Those who are students understand the value of enjoying and wanting to learn about a subject, those who are educators know how important it is to be able to motivate yourself to work, and those who are school teachers know that a little extra time and a little less stress goes a very long way. That is why summer assignments should be student designed rather than teacher-designed. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
7f0b4f315f5b | AE587E8BC0D3 | Adavntages of limiting your car usage can actually be benifitical to you and your family, maybe even the earth you live on. | Position | Adequate |
2991a8c3d2f1 | AE587E8BC0D3 | Many say that they were tense when they owned a car, but once they got rid of it, they claimed to be more happy. | Evidence | Adequate |
fa58639a7a62 | AE587E8BC0D3 | That last statement has to be coming from a liar because why would you ever be happy without a car? | Counterclaim | Adequate |
a00a01252581 | AE587E8BC0D3 | In April 2013 the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9% below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. Many sociologists belive it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment since transportation is the second largest source of americas emisions just behind power plants. programs are suggesting that people use other methods of tranportation. which is cool, i guess? Different things are suggesting that we are converging and witnessing a long term cultural shift. Car pool apps, center of cities makes suburbs less appealing. im not even trying anymore with this essay, people are connecting in other ways than meeting up. nobody is caring anymore about this essay. just typing. in columbia its the 3rd straight year that cars have been banned. blah blah blah. goals are to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. nobody cares, lets talk about something else. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7ca5019b46b3 | AE587E8BC0D3 | Advantages about limiting car usage. Really? I dont care about german suburb life without cars and i dont ever intend to care about it. i am a proud owner of a car and i dont want to live a life without it. This prompt is so unrelatable, mainly because
I OWN A CAR!
Maybe if i didnt i would be able to undertand this a little more but this is so ridiculous that i have to sit here and take time away from my education to write about cars. Im not even into cars. i dont care that people decide not to use cars, good for them, but i do use a car on a daily basis. im so over all of this excessive testing. Cars are pretty and nicely air conditioned, and shiny. They get you where you need to be quickly and you can jam out while on the way there. I hate essays, they are obnixious and boring. this is all a huge waste of time and i wish i just stayed home like some of the other kids in this class so that i wouldnt have to take this. Cars can be a nice way of driving around in money bags and showing everyone that you can afford this unnessacarily large vehicle that will sit in the hot room connected to your house, that also has a tempature very similar to hell. Honestlty your probably a really nice person who got stuck with the unfortunate job of reading all of these essays and grading them. You should be paid more because this just sucks, and im not even the one who has to read them all. You need to quit and go find some passion in your life. Take a painting class, or go watch the sunrise, you shouldnt be here reading all of these dumb essays that will never benefit my future or yours. | Evidence | Ineffective |
ef5e254946c4 | AE587E8BC0D3 | please go find a passion because you cant keep doing this and wasting your life away. Go water some plants, and make your bed, or make another persons bed. Just do somethign else other that sit here and read a bunch of essays that a essentially meaning less. You need something more in life and i do as well | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
5754252c4f1c | AE6BABB53D5E | Imagine you are an already busy highschooler focusing on maintaining your grades and your social life. All of the sudden, your principal decides that each student must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Despite having a lot on your plate, you are now required to alter your weekly schedule in order to comply. | Lead | Effective |
6af40cea2c0d | AE6BABB53D5E | Forcing students to participate in an extracurricular activity is unethical and promotes involuntary participation to students who are already busy managing grades and a social life | Position | Effective |
e08e8649feb4 | AE6BABB53D5E | School is difficult as it is. | Claim | Adequate |
8a40ca97a098 | AE6BABB53D5E | Students are constantly under pressure from family and peers to maintain perfect scores and attain high grades among their countless classes. Despite time given in school to get work done, many find themselves pouring countless hours over a desk at night, losing sleep for a 4.0 GPA. Students are given numerous assignments from each of their classes. Finishing these projects is difficult enough, and getting an A+ on all of them is even harder. Afterschool is already busy for students who focus on academics, and making them add an extracurricular will possibly lower their grades and motivation for school and grades. | Evidence | Effective |
d928a44d7e25 | AE6BABB53D5E | In addition to academics, many students seek to uphold a social life. | Claim | Adequate |
83823a1b28f1 | AE6BABB53D5E | Hanging out with friends, going out for a coffee, or watching a movie are among the minor things that relieve stress from the life of an average teenager. School can undoubtedly be physically and mentally draining. Therefore, spending a couple hours per week socializing and hanging with friends can help a student immensely. However, these minuscule ways of staying happy can all be taken away when a student is required to make time for an extracurricular activity | Evidence | Effective |
a892fd079f5b | AE6BABB53D5E | Lastly, forcing a teenager give up valuable time and effort into an unwanted extracurricular is simply unethical and immoral. | Claim | Effective |
4c622e33bc2d | AE6BABB53D5E | Students should be allowed to explore their interests on their own, as opposed to being forced to participate in something they barely have any connection with. The best way for a student to succeed is to build upon something they already have skills or an interest in, and the activities that the school promote do not cater to each individual student. This new rule promotes involuntary participation and will possibly make teenagers resilient to exploring their interests and values. | Evidence | Effective |
add655a9288c | AE6BABB53D5E | Forcing students to participate in an extracurricular activity is unethical and promotes involuntary participation to students who are already busy managing grades and a social life. Highschoolers, and even middle-schoolers, are constantly under pressure to pursue high academic scores while putting aside time for socialization. This new rule is immoral and does not value student's time or schedule. The school should spread awareness about after school activities so that teenagers can reach out on their own, rather than bluntly making them join an activity they don't have time for or interest for. | Concluding Statement | Effective |

fc0816a1f887 | AF3D63DA7CB4 | Cars are one of the main sources for people's stress, whether it be because of car failures, others who annoy you while you drive, or the fact you can never find a parking spot. Heidrun Walter claims " When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much mappier this way ( In German suburb, Life goes on without Cars 3)." One main reason people are less tense and stress is because people do not have to constantly worry about if another car is about to hit them, if traffic is going to be to slow to get to work, or if your car is going to breakdown on you. Car's create unwanted stress that can be easily avoided. Indeed life would be very different without cars people in Bogota, Paris, and Germany have all been able to function properly without motorized vehicles. In fact "70 percdent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold cars to move her (In German Suburbs, Life goes on without Cars 3)." These individuals have proven that it is okay to make a switch. | Evidence | Effective |
c1ce0621c60a | AF3D63DA7CB4 | In order for you to reduce stress in your life, you have to take away the source of stress, and that is what citizens have done, and without cars majority of people are happier and healthier. | Claim | Effective |
90bf1d6c734e | AF3D63DA7CB4 | Due to citizen's of Bogota, Paris, and Germany not using cars and having to switch to bikes, walking, and electric bikes; has greatly reduced toxic gases in the environment. Due to individulas in Paris not excessively using cars the amount of smog has reduced. According to Robert Duffer " after days of near-record pollutions, paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city( Paris bans driving due to smog 10)." Paris has enforced strict rules that rejects people from driving, also a switch to diesel fuels. In return these ideas have lowered the level of smog in Paris creating a cleaner environment for the citizen. Not only has Paris help reduce toxic gases from entering our environment, but so has Bogota. In the article Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota, Andrew Selsky stated that this has been Bogota's "thrid year straight that cars have been banned for one day" and the only motorized vehicles they have used are "buses". This switched has dramatically cut traffic, rush hour, and the amount of smog left in the air. Although there is still traces of pollution after this day it has lowered. | Evidence | Effective |
d90fa9795441 | AF3D63DA7CB4 | The reasons are simple, using less cars makes less gases, also those who go the day without using cars may like the change better and permantely switch to a lifestyle without cars. | Claim | Effective |
c2cfceceafed | AF3D63DA7CB4 | Another thing that has been changed due to the limitation of car usages is that with individuals not having to buy a car, pay for insurance, and pay for gas, it has increased the amount of money citizens have in their wallets. Citizens of the United States of America have not exactly chosen to not use cars, but some have, the main reason Citizen of America have limited themself is due to a lack of money. During our "recession" Americans were "unemployed" and "unable to pay (The end of car culture 32)." Because citizens were not able to pay for cars, they did not use them, thus as you get adapted to a new situation you tend to stay with it. After the switch citizens who chose to continue a life without a car, were able to have more money because they didnt have to pay for the cost that come with a car. | Evidence | Effective |
0cb577539f4c | AF3D63DA7CB4 | Now some citizens have made the switch to not using motorized vehicles, which has helped increase the amount of money citizens have, which is always an advantage because you are able to pay for other things that are neccasary to your life. | Claim | Effective |
db05d0e4d894 | AF3D63DA7CB4 | Although cars seem like a material object that is so precious to life, it's not. In all reality people can live a life without cars, citizens in Bogota, Paris, and Germany have, and they enjoy it. Its time to make a switch and make a helpful change in your lifestyle. A life without cars is very benefitial, it is less stressful, lowers pollution, and has an increases of money. Although not using cars is a bit extreme, you can always make a better switch to using electric products, which can also help lower the amount of toxic gases in the air. Gas car's that produce extreme levels of gases are a thing of the past, I believe its time to move to the future. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
c9d3f62c6a12 | AF4796CA4BC0 | it was 1995, world war ll was over in europe, and many countries were left in ruiens to help these countries you woiuld need to send many,many us army troops out to save them from all of that stuff ,like rocks that might have fallen on them and other stuff that might have harm them or others in there country ,luke was 18 before arriving in greece with means he could dafted for the military services when my draft board learned that i was. on cattel boat trip they told me just keep doing what i was, doing for my service the cattel boat trips were amazing for a small town boy like luke , he could learn. new things it was almost like he was a tourest when luke was helping out katie that was his aunt she owned a farm as a boy luke was hard working and brave but the sea's were , to dangerous for luke he could not handle it the first couple of days luke was happy with his job but as it got harded luke got more sad and unhappy with his job but being sea going cowboys was too much fun there was much mor to it thsn just having fun . | Evidence | Ineffective |

a0d8a71349a1 | AF637B7047FB | In my opinion this is a great idea. | Position | Adequate |
e3be4a8f37fd | AF637B7047FB | This requirement will hopefully increase the amount of learning opportunities, through educational extracurricular activities. Exercise, through physical or sport related extracurricular activities. Or even this one extracurricular activity will improve a students social skills, through team building or just working with other people on something in hopes that they make new friends. | Evidence | Adequate |

6e3adb25d1f5 | AF637B7047FB | One way that doing an extracurricular activity will provide more learning opportunities is where you have school sponsored, after school activities made to help you in school or in specific subjects. One example of an extracurricular activity is the "Homework club". The "Homework club" is an after school extracurricular activity created to help you with subjects you are struggling in, assignments you dont quite understand, or school work that you are unable to do at home. This educational club comes with free tutors and teachers that will hopefully be able to answer any question you have and help you with any assignments you need assistance on.
| Evidence | Effective |
b87ca2457df0 | AF637B7047FB | One example of a extracurricular activity based around physical activity is "Weight room". "Weight room" is an after school extracurricular activity based around physical movement and fitness. This club meets up after school to use the Robinson weight room. The weight room is a smaller gym based around work out equipment. Some of this equipment includes ,stationary bikes, stair climbers, rowing machines, basic weights, bars, and dumbbells ranging in weight. The people in this extracurricular club prosper to increase their physical fitness and become healthier. | Evidence | Adequate |
7bcf1a9fdac0 | AF637B7047FB | There are numourus extracurricular clubs that dont base around education and fitness and these clubs, I would say improve a students social skills. One example of this is the after school tech theater club. This club comes together for about a month to help with the technical side of a Rambunctious theater show. In this club you get to meet new people and are able to help out your department. There are many departments in this club ranging from sound technician to costume and makeup technician. To join this club you have to submit an application and select what department you would like to be in for the production. This department requires team work with your other technicians and I think that this club is a good way to make new friends and teach better social skills. | Evidence | Effective |
97c415565fd8 | AF637B7047FB | If the principal were to implement this requirement at my school it would be beneficial. These extracurricular activities would greatly improve it's student's, individually but it would also improve the entire school as a whole. Through these activities you will find a way to become more healthy and fit. You will have access to more learning opportunities and I believe that you will even find yourself making new friends through these clubs or sports you find yourself doing. If the requirement to do one extracurricular activity was implemented I would not oppose because I know that it can provide extra learning opportunities, increase physical fitness, and improve student social skills | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
2c7a957fa536 | AF66DEECF5A6 | Scientists have been studying Venus for generations, wondering what could possibly be on a planet so close to ours. Now that we don't have to wonder anymore, NASA will try to take it one step higher. They want to be as close to Venus' ground as possible, without dying.

84bd9db0fb8d | AF66DEECF5A6 | There are many dangers on Venus, including sulfuric acid rain and an atmosphere of nintey seven percent carbon dioxide. Hovering over it would be useless. In paragraph six, it states, "... 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 forms of photography and videography ineffective." This states that by hovering on top of the planet, they can't learn anyting they don't already know. | Evidence | Effective |
92a940a83cf6 | AF66DEECF5A6 | My honest oppinion on this topic is that we should not be exploring Venus right now. We just don't have the right technology for it right now. | Position | Ineffective |
23d4b5dda7d8 | AF66DEECF5A6 | We need to wait however many years before we can officially explore our sister planet. Trying to figure out its secrets now would just be a waste of time, money, and possibly lives. We shouldn't risk a human being just because this planet used to be like ours millions of years ago. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
5f8827a831d5 | AFCE5307F69A | The time off of school during summer break is always looked forward to by students and teachers, but it doesn't mean the school work stops. Summer projects are a way to ensure that students can continue to learn information over the break, but many students would not want to complete them. | Lead | Adequate |
bf7a10d85442 | AFCE5307F69A | Although teacher-designed projects would be beneficial for learning in more detail, summer projects should be student-designed | Position | Effective |

0b3584797b75 | AFCE5307F69A | When students design their own project, they let their minds flow freely. This allows for the creation of projects that the students actually are interested in, which helps them become more engaged about whatever the project was about. It is a common belief that teachers should design projects so they can get their students to learn exactly what they need to, and that a student-designed project is not sufficient enough because students will not learn what they need to. However, a project by students allows them to learn content even better because they are choosing what they want to create, not being assigned it, and this creation allows them to explore content in a way that a teacher can't provide. For example, if a student had to create an instrument for music class from scratch, they would be a lot more interested in that than just making a variation of a particular instrument again. The creativity in designing a project is what students need to learn content in a way that is interesting to them, which helps them learn better during a time period where they don't even want to be doing work. | Evidence | Effective |
8ba01cad7ce0 | AFCE5307F69A | When a student designs their own project, there are very few restrictions applied. This is good because the students can learn required content however they want to, and they will most often choose to learn it in a way that is effective for them, which a teacher can't always provide. There is the argument that teachers can just give students a variety of options to choose from with a project, and that that freedom in choice will help students learn in a way beneficial to them but unfortunately that just isn't the case. Many students never get to create a project that they actually want to make, and teachers often just repeat options over and over again that students are already familiar with. For example, what if a teacher just kept giving out the same current events question, and a student never got to answer the question they were actually interested in? The freedom in designing a project allows a student to actually want to learn content, since they choose a way to learn content that would be fun to them. | Evidence | Effective |
98de377cb129 | AFCE5307F69A | Many students who complete projects throughout their school careers are not engaged in their work, and are just focused on getting a project done by the deadline with all the requirements. | Evidence | Effective |
5bd856306b63 | AFCE5307F69A | Required summer projects by some schools would be most beneficial if they were student-designed, because it would allow for students to be more creative, feel more freedom, and be more engaged in the overall process of learning through a project. This is especially important for summer projects because many students in the summer do not want to do any school work, so a teacher assigning a student another forced project would not motivate them to complete it, while if the student got to design it themselves, they would be more interested and likely create a better project while learning more. Teachers do have the ability to design a project that students would enjoy, but the student-designed project truly allows for more learning by the students because it is more entertaining and an overall better experience. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
47ba21d3d6c6 | AFCF10293B9A | I am going to argue for the value of having the Facial Action Coding System in the computers. | Position | Adequate |
f45085e4e66a | AFCF10293B9A | I think it would be great to have something like this. The process beings when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of your face. They would go through all 44 of your major face muscles because in order for them to work they must move like human muscles. Dr. Paul Eckman the creator of FACS has classified 6 very important emotions then mixed them together with each with facial muscles. | Evidence | Adequate |
b7f457ff71f5 | AFCF10293B9A | Then for classrooms like to tell if the students is either bored or confused about what he or she is susposed to be doing like they said in the article. Dr. Huang also prdicted that if you are talking about how if you are happy/smiling they would pop-up an ad for you being happy but if you are sad/frowning they will pull up something totally different for the ad. | Evidence | Adequate |
46717654589a | AFCF10293B9A | Nobodies computer can hadle the complex algortihms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile but they can come up with soemthing to decode different emotions. | Claim | Ineffective |
1e0d99ab767a | AFCF10293B9A | This coding system is very smart and can tell if you are doing a fake smile of some sort. If you use a fake smile the system will tell if you are because when you are the mouth is streched sideways using the zygomatic major wih some different muscles. To an expert they said "faces don't lie" these muscle clues are often sometimes used to spot if a celebrity or a politician is being truthful. | Evidence | Adequate |
e021dd62dc44 | AFCF10293B9A | So I have came to conclusion that this facial action coding system works on any and everyone to tell their true emotions. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
37b3b4c09748 | AFD739EDDEA9 | The author describes "Making Mona Lisa Smile" and how a new technology called the Facial Action Cording System enables compures to identify human emotions. Because the author is trying to tell us how the technology can make us feel differents emotions. In this article we can find too many differents emotions that the Mona Lise had. And how the techonology can do it too. | Lead | Adequate |
4b0a61a83a6d | AFD739EDDEA9 | For example my first evidence that i found in this article is when said that "Mona Lise is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry". So, is trying to tell us that to making Mona Lise smile can be a difficult way, because she had too many differents emotions at the same time,but nothing is impossible. But also the people trying to describe a new technology to identify humans emotion. The new technology is called FACS ( Facial Action Coding System). This is the new technolody that the author wanted to used to find the humans emotions, , and see which one of the two option that they had can be more easy or more faster to find the human emotions.
My other example that also i found in this article is when said that "according to the new computers softward can recogniza emotion. The softward is the least innovation from Prof. Thomas Haung, of the Backman institute for advanced science at the University Illions." The author is trying to tell us to describes the new tecnology was little complicated because with he wanted to describe that technology to see if will be more easy to identify the emotions. Also in this article said that the process begings when the computer construct a 3D computer of the face, all 44 muscles in the model must move like human muscles. That why i think that describes that new techology wasn't eassy because the new technology need to identify all about human. | Evidence | Ineffective |
e04c1fc2c18f | AFD739EDDEA9 | In my conclution is about the computers and how Mona Lise demostration was really intended to bring a smiles to your face, while it show you just how the computers can do. If you smile when a Web ad appears to your screen , a similar somputer could regnize too. Like said Dr. Haunght he predicted that the computer could recognize when a students or another person is becoming confused or sad. And acording to the Facia Feeback theory emotion, moving ourfacaisl muscles can make us feel not only expresss motion, but also can even help us to feel like some differents emotions. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
c51a33aef9fd | B0007528CB4A | Venus is gonna take Earths stop?
Is Venus worth the risk to explore? maybe so. Venus has so many things to offer, evening star, many out of the world features, and a thick atmophere. Doesn't mean we should kill ourselves trying, | Lead | Adequate |
f7124ec5e7fc | B0007528CB4A | I think venus is not worth the try. | Position | Adequate |
cc544fede8eb | B0007528CB4A | First and formost, the evening star, is the brightest point in the sky. Venus also makes it simple to stargazing. Venus is the second planet and the next closest plant next to earth. | Evidence | Ineffective |
