8308f9cac2a6 | 1B4E66B0BE0A | . President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States greenhouse gas emissions is to shift in American behavior. Research studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. The United States has long been one of the world's prime car cultures. The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005. "What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down two to three years before the downturn," says Michael Sivak, a research professor at the University of Michigan's Transportation
Research Institute. The internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends. With all these changes, people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recession may find less reason to resume the habit. | Evidence | Adequate |

a27ac1eed5fd | 1C3440A3FFD6 | I disagree, I feel that the Mona Lisa wasnt really expressing 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry, | Position | Ineffective |
b46f2f4602d6 | 1C3440A3FFD6 | she looked like she was just posing for a picture or to be drawn, you cannot just look at somebody and tell what kind of emotions their expiriencing even if you do studies, it could just be thats how she is as a person all the time. The author uses facial feedback theory of emotion, saying not only does moving your facial muscles just express emotions , it may also even help produce them. They say that faces dont lie but anyone can fake emotions she was just taking a photo or was posing to be drawn they could have just made a conclusion stating she was 100 percent happy, I mean she was being drawn which means she must have been one of the best looking women around or something was good about her and only her, and her face drawing is now one of the most known pieces of art ever created. In the drawing it looks like shes outside so it could be the lighting or something around her that is causing her face to look like that. Its also hard to tell what kind of emotions shes having because she doesnt have eyebrows, the reason I say that is because most people raise or lower their eyebrows when they are trying to make their emotions noticable, so the main thing people can see about her emotions are her lips they look happy but its like a half smile, but the writer claims she is 83 percent happy, it seems much less than that. Her eyes look like she is staring at someone, not dissapointed. | Evidence | Ineffective |

a1d2f0d4d923 | 1C592378CBD1 | After going to school for ten months, students need a bit of a break before starting up again. Not only are their bodies tired, but so are their minds. Their minds are basically at capacity! So when summer break rolls around, students tend to leave everything they learned behind. While understandable to want to stop putting more information in their brain, students should never leave what they know behind. Students work so hard for a long time, to gain new information and more knowledge. In order to assure continued learning, teachers assign summer projects. Unfortunately, students decide to not do the assigned summer projects because it tends to get in the way of their summer. So, what if the switch was flipped and students could create their own summer projects? | Lead | Effective |
faa2ac2d2870 | 1C592378CBD1 | Students should have the freedom to complete their own summer assignments | Position | Adequate |
7339a8ea9a58 | 1C592378CBD1 | they're more likely to do the project when it's their own | Claim | Effective |
5abb421074bf | 1C592378CBD1 | students can express their own creativity, | Claim | Effective |
9d40d950d81c | 1C592378CBD1 | they will actually enjoy doing their project.
| Claim | Effective |
27a45d281b62 | 1C592378CBD1 | If students could create their own assignments, they would actually do the work to get it done. | Claim | Effective |
31c29494a619 | 1C592378CBD1 | They have all summer to come up with a fun project idea, so why not make it the greatest one possible? Fast-forwarding to when school starts up again, students will have a completed project to present to their teachers and peers. They won't only be happy for the grade, but they'll be proud of themselves for completing their project. | Evidence | Adequate |
d982d40e8fb6 | 1C592378CBD1 | Adding to the positive, teachers will have a better impression of what their students do. Meaning that teachers will know how to operate their classes, based on their students and how they learn. | Claim | Effective |
c14d8be070f4 | 1C592378CBD1 | Students will also be able to express their creativity freely. | Claim | Effective |
12f34e2d9879 | 1C592378CBD1 | For example, one student may not be able to color, paint, or draw, while another student is really good at coloring, painting, and drawing. The student who isn't as good at doing those things, may be better at using computers to create things. So that student should be able to complete his/her summer assignment, on his/her terms. Some teachers assume that all students are capable of doing only one thing, which is very untrue and unrealistic. Students should not be limited to doing one thing, in one way. It's unfair that some teachers grade based on how artistic the assignment is, or how technological it is. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Teachers should look towards all their students specific strengths, instead of aiming at their weaknesses. Plus, teachers should be very fond of students' creativity in their assignments, and grade them based on the student's hard work, the assignment criteria, and their creativity. | Evidence | Effective |
0cbdb43a4c9d | 1C592378CBD1 | Lastly, students will actually enjoy working on their summer projects! | Claim | Effective |
e07bd486eb4b | 1C592378CBD1 | Since they have their own freedom to create whatever the please, they can make it any way they want. On top of that, they'll have the whole summer to make their very own masterpiece. So, when working on the assignment, it won't seem like such a drag to have to complete. Students can also work at their own pace. Since students do have a solid three months to complete and revise their projects, there should be nothing less than perfection.
| Evidence | Adequate |
29233d9c7cb9 | 1C592378CBD1 | All in all, students should never stop learning new things. The new way of learning is expressed through creativity. Scott Fitzgerald once said,
"For what it's worth... it's never too late, or too early, to be whoever you want to be.
There's no limit
".
Students should not be limited to creativity, creativity should be unlimited to students. Students should create their own summer assignments, to assure the continuation of learning, and to show them there will never be a limit to their own creativity. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
