But after that we have so much time to play you can play baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, whitting and the games help pass alot of time, since it takes along time to cross the ocean. The ship is just like a cruise but you have to help do some choirs. I had fun on the ship and I think you can to. Being a seagoing cowboy it opened the world to me. I was very grateful for this opportunity. It made aware of people of other countries and their needs. | Evidence | Adequate |

7fc088314355 | 16B47CE3BEBB | First of all what happen is someone is depress and dont want to tell anyone about it so they kill their self because they're depress | Claim | Adequate |
035e3f2721a5 | 16B47CE3BEBB | the facial Action Coding System could have help that poor boy or girl because someone would ask her what's wrong and talk about it with him or her and know they feel that someone there for them and how much they're needed and wanted so they don't kill there self matter as fact there are happy right now because someone is there for them and they feel wanted and they can love life agian. | Evidence | Adequate |
40bbf086a867 | 16B47CE3BEBB | My evidence why I wrote that satatment is the passage it said "she's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted,6 percent fearful,and 2 percent angry" I think everyone should have this because it could save a lot of people lives because so many people take their lives away so fast and young because of depresion and lot are teens if high schools and jr high haves these i feel like it would change the world for the better | Evidence | Ineffective |
ae2a5f7ad531 | 16B47CE3BEBB | Some peolpe don't like it mabye it's because they're the stress ones that need help and think that no one cares and is to scared to show they're depress and they rather keep to them self. | Counterclaim | Adequate |

64ecf5561020 | 16EAB34FDC87 | Every summer, millions of students flood from their school buildings, on their way to about 100 straight days away from any form of academia. With the traditional school system having been around for decades, educators and social science researchers alike have longed for a way to strike a balance between learning and leisure during summer vacation. Within just a few moments of deliberation, one will realize that summer projects are a near perfect answer to supplement this lack of learning. | Lead | Adequate |
0cc83664dd4e | 16EAB34FDC87 | To make most effective use of their time in the summer, kids should conduct student-
designed projects. | Position | Effective |
7890de100f2b | 16EAB34FDC87 | It's through this process that students will become more engaged with the learning material, | Claim | Effective |
5063f82a0163 | 16EAB34FDC87 | produce higher quality work, | Claim | Effective |
ccb16449c4f3 | 16EAB34FDC87 | begin to store information in their long term memory. | Claim | Effective |
953671f9bda8 | 16EAB34FDC87 | One of the major gripes students have begun to have with school is undoubtedly the lack a independence as it applies to their learning experience. | Evidence | Effective |
5b53740d34e6 | 16EAB34FDC87 | It forces children not only to display their knowledge of course material, but to apply said knowledge in a creative setting that requires a "bigger picture" understanding of the given topic. It goes without saying that students will take greater pride in their own work. They'll want to show up on the first day of school with a project that they feel proud to present to their peers.
| Evidence | Effective |
afc3da778f27 | 16EAB34FDC87 | When all the work is theirs, students will feel increasingly inclined to show that they have a full understanding and mastery of the topic. Nobody wants to feel left out, and, especially as kids age and progress higher up through the school system, the way classmates perceive one another becomes all too important. | Evidence | Effective |
4986cdb419aa | 16EAB34FDC87 | With recent generations of learners displaying less and less focus throughout the years, some might to disprove the effectiveness of student based projects. "Given full control over the projects parameters," one might claim, "students will become far too focused on obsolete details like font, backgrounds, and pictures." Someone who might hold this point of view believes a hands-off approach from teachers will only result in lower quality work and declining focus on the course material. | Counterclaim | Effective |
cc6e5cc9812b | 16EAB34FDC87 | However, we can observe time and time again in every day life that critical-thinking tasks can teach skills at an exponentially greater rate. Take an athlete for example, basketball and soccer players will often dribble while counting the number of fingers a partner holds up in front of them. Just like in a school setting, this exercise builds good habits and requires people to apply their newly learned skills in unfamiliar circumstances. | Rebuttal | Effective |
d05e072166a5 | 16EAB34FDC87 | It's through a plethora of ways that student driven learning can benefit school systems around the world. More effective forms of education during the summer are invaluable in cutting down the amount of start up time at the beginning of any given school year where teachers struggle to prime their students for the year ahead. In place of the traditional project type, designed by teachers and administrators, more free reign forms of summer education produce a more enjoyable learning experience and prompt kids to retain far more knowledge than they would before. Overall, a shift towards more student liberties in this day in age could see monumental benefits for everyone involved in and around modern public schools. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
cb0f335fb104 | 179A2FE8AF05 | Thousands of people die every year from people driving and texting. | Lead | Adequate |
87c385980a26 | 179A2FE8AF05 | Texting and driving should be banned because it puts other people's lives in danger.
| Position | Adequate |
dcb5ed598181 | 179A2FE8AF05 | If a person crashes his or her car while driving, insurance on their vehicle could go up | Claim | Adequate |
8764dd869dd6 | 179A2FE8AF05 | A car crash can also kill loved ones, | Claim | Adequate |
e36506760446 | 179A2FE8AF05 | people riding with the intention of getting to point A to point B can be dismissed because of a car accident and a careless driver. | Claim | Adequate |
3fb61537dd6d | 179A2FE8AF05 | The main reason why why people text while driving is because they are really addicted to their cellular devices. Careless drivers should not be allowed on the streets because it is very risky to other drivers out there. In a car crash, the person getting hit can be seriously injured or even worse, that person could lose their legs or die | Evidence | Adequate |
dc3e35945a4e | 179A2FE8AF05 | The driver that was distracted by texting can also put his or her passengers lives at risk. | Claim | Adequate |
77f565fac4af | 179A2FE8AF05 | Somebody inside the car could fly out the windshield as soon as the car hits, worse scenario is that there is a probability that the vehicle can catch on fire while the passengers and the driver are inside the vehicle. | Evidence | Adequate |
ef5aa2bd8a10 | 179A2FE8AF05 | In a vehicle, insurance can be expensive or cheap, but it depends on what kind of insurance the vehicle has. Full coverage is the best one, it can back up anybody that gets in a car accident. | Claim | Adequate |
6cb0e910b214 | 179A2FE8AF05 | The liability insurance is good too, but it does not cover that much if a person gets involved in a car accident. So, going with full coverage should be the best choice. Insurance insures your vehicle, driving without insurance is illegal. If a person gets into a car accident, insurance is there to help but if a person was too busy distracted on their phone, the insurance payment will go up. A driver that gets him or herself into an accident and they were very distracted on their phone, there could be some bad consequences. | Evidence | Adequate |
d09a6007ef96 | 179A2FE8AF05 | Getting into an accident can cause serious problems to the vehicle getting hit | Claim | Adequate |
06a376555fb4 | 179A2FE8AF05 | The vehicle can be totaled which means that the vehicle can no longer be driven | Evidence | Ineffective |
63028570ab49 | 179A2FE8AF05 | If the driver goes too fast and he or she has their family aboard, they could be seriously injured if they crash. Losing someone you love in a car accident can be devastating. | Claim | Adequate |
a1d47badffe6 | 179A2FE8AF05 | Most people don't get to sleep right knowing that they killed someone they loved in a car accident due to a distraction on their phone. Some people don't even drive anymore knowing what they did to a loved one. Losing a family member in a car accident is very sad, and very disappointing to the driver. | Evidence | Adequate |
a0acb5f0e496 | 179A2FE8AF05 | Texting while driving is very dangerous. It could put the driver's life at risk but when there is an emergency, the driver should be able to attend that emergency but a safe and lawful way. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
1d5467d01c9f | 179A2FE8AF05 | Let's say, that a family member is very sick and he or she doesn't have a vehicle to drive itself to a hospital and the only way to take that person to a hospital is by calling someone for help. If that person doesn't pick up the phone, the other person that's sick could die. | Evidence | Adequate |
682492ee367c | 179A2FE8AF05 | Many would say that this is a reasonable excuse but risking the life of an innocent drier is not acceptable. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
d1a1e98a5e1b | 179A2FE8AF05 | Therefore, texting and riving should be illegal because insurance rates raise in price, it is against moral conduct, and it is the reason many people die. Distracted driving could be the cause of many fatalities but placing the phone down while driving could save millions. You would not want to live with the death of someone on your shoulders. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
2e09fa904c3d | 17A4777DCC71 | I am going to be telling you what i think of technology being able to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom and if i think it is valueable. | Lead | Adequate |
64ec8aa51bda | 17A4777DCC71 | I think technology reading people emotional expressions is valuable but then again i don't think is is valuable | Position | Ineffective |
57189914133f | 17A4777DCC71 | being able to know how people feel can actually help the enviornment but then it can't | Claim | Ineffective |
5e17a72d9391 | 17A4777DCC71 | peoples reactions emotional expressions are different and people are different some people can have bad emotional expressions and it could be harmful, and it could be painful for others. People can have really great emotional expressions, like being happy all the time. It says in paragraph 1 that Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent discusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. People can be the complete oppisate of that and it couldn't be good on other people, But people can also be like Mono Lisa and it makes the inviornment a better place knowing people are happy and not sad, discusted and angry. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7631c8545cd3 | 17A4777DCC71 | I would have to agree and disagree because it basically goes both ways. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
5f514f706e41 | 18A22DA09EF0 | Cars are a normal form of transportation some might say, but in Vauban, Germany there is a car free town. "Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this new experimental district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders". Says paragraph two in the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", some people may find this scenrio strange but its actually becoming more common. | Lead | Adequate |
83c40a8a115e | 18A22DA09EF0 | Many countries all over the world are starting making either a "car free day" or on certain days, making people pay fines for driving.
| Position | Ineffective |
be0efeac8438 | 18A22DA09EF0 | an example of a "car free day" is in Paris, France. | Claim | Adequate |
24b8f95f2783 | 18A22DA09EF0 | This city has typically more smog than other European capitals. "Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found". After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear air pollution of the global city". Monday motorists with even number license plates were ordered to leave their car at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31)". The same would apply to odd number plates the following day". The congestion went down sixty percent in the Capital of France, the smog cleared enough monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd numbered plates on Tuesday. | Evidence | Adequate |
dfb5e39ea8f9 | 18A22DA09EF0 | another example of a car free day is in Bogota, Colombia. | Claim | Adequate |
a758ff8b9043 | 18A22DA09EF0 | "Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work on car-free day". This day in Bogota has been celebrated for three years straight now, "where cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in this capital city of seven million". The goal of this day is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Even when it rains on car free day in Bogota this doesn't stop people from participating," says Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus. A businessman says "it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." | Evidence | Adequate |
850a8205f3bb | 18A22DA09EF0 | countries all over the world are trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and smog. Paraguay, France, Colombia, and even America is trying to get people to use different types of transportation and reduce smog. So citizens all over the world should just for one day not use a car. One person can start a revolution for their community, city, or state. If everyone all over the world could do this we would reduce tons of greenhouse gases amd smog. We can make earth a better place and more healthy enviroment. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
0b6050e9f412 | 18D68AEC46D6 | If the usage of cars are limited their would be less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. | Claim | Adequate |
8d943bd5d32e | 18D68AEC46D6 | Greenhouse gasses are responsible for global warning and the melting of the polar ice caps. If you limit the amount of car usage their would be less cars on the road and it would by a lot quieter at night. In some parts of the United States 50% of the greenhouse gas emissions are from passender cars. thats a sign that we need to stop relying on cars so much. The fact is that if were our passenger cars are giving off that much greenhouse gasses, than our cars are giving off the most greenhouse gasses and its time to make a change. | Evidence | Adequate |
2a0ad5b0f9cc | 18D68AEC46D6 | If you want to help cut back on the greenhouse gas emission than only use your car if your giong a far distance. | Claim | Adequate |
6235c8be2580 | 18D68AEC46D6 | you dont need to use your car to go down the street, or around the block. | Evidence | Adequate |
243ffe40ff29 | 18D68AEC46D6 | You should use your car to go anywhere in your neighborhood thats walking distance | Position | Adequate |
7b484f508883 | 18D68AEC46D6 | So next time your about to get in your car think about if you really need to take your car. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
29e79551a0f8 | 1911B040B77B | Venus is the closest planet to us in our solar system, which means we should explore it. At least, that is what the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" believes. | Lead | Effective |
9fb212b33e19 | 1911B040B77B | he does not support this claim very well | Position | Effective |
12d6f288ddba | 1911B040B77B | as he gives only one vague reason to explore it, | Claim | Effective |
b9aacc61f081 | 1911B040B77B | he names several dangers and obstacles of exploring it, | Claim | Effective |
58e37a114811 | 1911B040B77B | provides very few actual solutions.
| Claim | Effective |
3e930b02b9ca | 1911B040B77B | First of all, he does a good job of naming the several dangers and obstacles of exploring Venus | Claim | Effective |
e20e01a5aa65 | 1911B040B77B | such as the extreme atmosphiric pressure. The main problem though, is the temperature wich as the author states, "average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit," (Paragraph 3). This poses a problem as most metals and other materials melt at such high temperatures. However, the author fails to give very many solutions to these issues.
| Evidence | Effective |
758a8e4c729a | 1911B040B77B | The author only provides two solutions to the numerous problems that he previously stated. | Claim | Effective |
b8d66952c3e3 | 1911B040B77B | Those solutions were to stay above the atmosphere where it is not as hot, and to create mechanical computers that were more reinforced. These solutions would be all well and good had he not brought up a problem with the first in which he states "peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only little insight on ground conditions" (Paragraph 6) thus, it is not a true solution to the problem at hand. But maybe there is good reasons to keep trying to come up with new ways to explore Venus. | Evidence | Effective |
72a71aa1f3c6 | 1911B040B77B | Sadly, the author only provides one vague reason for which scientists should still try to come up with new ways to explore Venus. | Claim | Effective |
e49e5971c7ca | 1911B040B77B | This reason of his is,"It may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system" (Paragraph 4). The problem with this is that it does not go very deep into why it being similar to Earth matters. A scientist at NASA might understand any signifigance in that statement, but an average person might not. For that reason it is a very weak argument. | Evidence | Effective |
214d1b4269eb | 1911B040B77B | In short, The author does not support his idea for exploring Venus very well because he only gives one vague reason to explore it and he names several dangers and obstacles of exploring it while providing very few actual solutions. Had he named more solutions and reasons to explore Venus it would have supported his idea far more. He named too many dangers without ways to properly combat them, which is why the author's support for his claim was weak. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
4eda9f5e7df3 | 197CEA0EF269 | It is the last day of school, the only thing on your mind is your exciting vacation and the warm weather, the only time that you are free from teachers telling you to what to do and when to do it. When all of a sudden your teacher says that you have a long and tedious project that is due at the end of summer | Lead | Effective |
b937d44426a1 | 197CEA0EF269 | As a response to this, I argue that students should be the ones designing these projects | Position | Adequate |
62d0359ca774 | 197CEA0EF269 | in order to increase specific skills, | Claim | Adequate |
ed786500f0a6 | 197CEA0EF269 | bolster creativity | Claim | Adequate |
518920255c76 | 197CEA0EF269 | gain experience designing the project.
| Claim | Adequate |
f12f7357ff4d | 197CEA0EF269 | Throughout the school year, projects that are assigned by teachers don't capture student's true capabilities and skills. However, if students designed their own projects, they could finally display their strengths, which would lead to an increase in motivation for perfecting the project | Claim | Effective |
e0a78c86e38f | 197CEA0EF269 | Furthermore, students have responsibilities and activities during the summer that may cause a low quality project to emerge if they don't have much motivation. For example, students who compete in the school science fair do very well because designing your own project increases motivation for yielding a higher quality project. | Evidence | Effective |
2b587813d5ad | 197CEA0EF269 |
I once heard, "necessity is the mother of invention." This quote is indicating that when their is high demand for something, or if someone is wondering how or why something works, new inventions and innovations are made. When considering projects, the same rule applies; questioning what you are interested in yields innovation that have built this country since day one. For example, Bill Gates wouldn't have founded Microsoft is he didn't research and look into what he was interested in. | Evidence | Effective |
a011f9e8f219 | 197CEA0EF269 | This proves that when students create their own projects based on questioning and logic, their is a greater chance for success. | Claim | Effective |
466f34b040a5 | 197CEA0EF269 | During the school year, everything is designed by teachers: tests, projects and homework. In response to this, I raise an important question, how do you expect us to be the next generation of well rounded and intelligent people, when we have been told what to do and when to do it since day one? The only way to give students this freedom of choosing how to design the project without disrupting normal school schedule, is to assign it in the summer | Evidence | Effective |
c5691320c183 | 197CEA0EF269 | Not only does this bolster self thinking and creativity, but also it utilizes the summer months, a long period of time, to think about and develop this project.
| Claim | Effective |
9103f424b326 | 197CEA0EF269 | In response to the question of giving students the right to design their own projects, I argue that in order to increase specific skills, bolster creativity, and gain experience, the best choice is to give students this ability to design their own projects. In general, these skills will help students prepare for adult life, where they will need the specific skills that are full filed through this project. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
74643f8df3ae | 19C1FF204DD1 | In the first story it is talking about how cars aren't really drivin near the French and Swiss. Though theyallow the cars they just allow them to be parked in only two places: the car-owner buys a space or it to, $40,000 along with the home, or large garages at the edge of the development.
David Goldberg said " All of our development since World War ll has been centered on the car, and that will have to change."
Paris, France has enforeced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the gobal city. Diesel fuel was blamed, since diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the Western Europe.
In Bogota, Colombia they ban cars altogether. they go rid of the roads and made them into sidwalks. Now that people have to walk to get to their final destination a lot of people now go to the parks and to the sports centers that they have there.
President Obama's goals are to curb the United States ' greenhouse gas emissions will get a fortuitous assit from the incipient shift in American behavior. Obama said that if we Americans buy less cars then there would be less drivers lisenes each year and fewer driving altoether. | Evidence | Ineffective |

72b1e0ce53bf | 19C571180C49 | Every Summer, as school is nearing an end, the other students and I are ecstatic to have some of our future teachers come into our classes and tell us about what we have to look forward too after the break ends, as well as finding out what lesson we will cover, fun projects, and the supplies we should for the class. What does not please any student however, is when they find out that they have to finish a lengthy assignment before their summer "break" is over. Created by teachers who have no idea of your level of learning, nor who you are, students will inevitably feel overwhelmed | Lead | Effective |
2a5e929f855d | 19C571180C49 | The students taking the classes themselves should created the assignment,as even though the teachers may make the plans for the class, | Position | Effective |

d47f86bf21bd | 19C571180C49 | Although teachers try to fill their summer assignments with care, they fail to understand what the students they are getting actually know. Just because the students should have learned everything from the previous year, most of the time other factors would come into play. Some material was overlooked due to time constraints, while some material was discarded in the depths of the students mind as they felt like they would need it. Nothing felt worse than having a lecture by a ne teacher a material we should have learned the year before, but no one at all could remember it. Having the upperclassmen, who were inside similar shoes to the newer students, make the assignment, they would reinforce what the students will have to know walking into the class day one. Upperclassmen would also be able to address through the assignment what material they never learned that the students would need for the beginning of the school year. Even though the teacher should plan for the students to not have learned all the information from previous years, the upperclassmen, through experiencing the class would be better able to give specifics on what future students need to know before school | Evidence | Effective |
bd04a7d94e6d | 19C571180C49 | Even though the teacher makes the lesson plans for the year, the previous students remember what is actually important for the class. | Claim | Effective |
74a8f8293e4a | 19C571180C49 | Many times before, upperclassmen have been able to help me through classes by giving me advice on what material was important for the final tests of the year, ranging from simply names of people we have studied about, to entire units that made up big portions of the test. Some times the teacher might skip entire portions of the class, causing the students to miss out on very critical information.
