1ed1c8e1e4a5	1CF149052D11	These projects should be student-designed to promote a students own creativity and ability to create a project based on the subject they learned	Position	Adequate
3c09d0a4f1d1	1CF149052D11	Allowing individuals to make their own projects means they will have the freedom to design the project how they see fit;	Claim	Effective
a7cc05b268d0	1CF149052D11	furthermore, this may even benefit the teacher by showing that their student has absorbed enough information from the class, that they can detail an entire project about the curriculum without ever receiving any instruction from the teacher.	Claim	Effective
02935a3bc250	1CF149052D11	Students perform better when they are able to dictate how their project is written and designed. if their was a strict code detailing what the project must include, the student may produce a worse report than they would otherwise.	Claim	Effective
2ce1fc1a66e4	1CF149052D11	Given creative freedom, someone would also have to apply more of their own knowledge of the subject. Having to adhere to a strict code however, would mean they can simply research the specific topics the teacher asked for without needing to apply much of their own effort	Claim	Effective
5bac7cc205b7	1CF149052D11	If the enforcer of this project wrote a rigid outline describing exactly what a learner must write about, the report could very plausibly be submitted as a mindless paper with no true interest taken in it. The individual could provide exactly what the teacher asks for, no more, no less. One may even be rewarded for this work since they did all that was asked of them.	Evidence	Adequate
02f54acb4cc4	1CF149052D11	All someone would need to do for a report, if it has strict rules, is follow those rules entirely while putting minimal effort. People could be given a high grade for doing as the report said, even though they turned in a mediocre paper with no real care in the subject matter. There wouldnt be a way of giving this mediocre paper the grade it deserves, because the student did what they were told and they took advantage of that loophole. To avoid this mindless compliance, students should instead be given total and complete freedom on their report as long as they apply everything they've learned throughout the school year. This would be a double edged sword, while they are free to design however they want, they must also put in more effort because they will not get any help or instruction from the teacher. Some may believe that a teacher-designed project is a better alternative because if the teacher has a specific rubric, they can help the student by giving them a code to follow	Evidence	Effective
1a63233cbf60	1CF149052D11	It should be the opposite, They have helped their students all year, now it is time for them to finish one last report by themselves, to prove they can retain this information without any outside help. The teacher has finished their job, they have taught the entirety of the curriculum to their learners, and now those learners must utilize all the knowledge given to them in one project, on their own.	Claim	Effective
3eb61af964f2	1CF149052D11	This makes them feel that they only have an obligation to simply know certain ideas. In turn, this causes them to memorize specific vocabulary words or the answers to certain questions. Instead, people should be encouraged to memorize the concepts themselves. Take in all the information regarding an idea to truly become knowledgeable in the subject as a whole, as opposed to learning the answer to specific questions so you can pass a test later and forget about it almost immediately after. This is exactly what this final grade is: a test.	Evidence	Adequate
5b82795d25ea	1CF149052D11	A test with one chief purpose: to display one's complete knowledge and understanding of the class they have partaken in for the past year.	Claim	Effective
18be9e46b23a	1CF149052D11	This should not just be something you can memorize a few vocabulary words and write down a couple notes for. It would prove absolutely nothing if you can simply study for this project and write down what has been memorized. To really take on this endeavor, the students will have to include everything they have been taught over their four quarters of experience. They must be graded on how much they really paid attention and how much effort they put into the class.	Evidence	Effective
e8e80dd56393	1CF149052D11	summer projects should be student-designed to allow students more freedom to dictate their project, which may cause some to submit a report worthy of a much higher grade than they might have otherwise received. It would also prevent mindless compliance stemming from a feeling that they have an obligation to adhere to a strict set of rules a teacher has laid out for them, leading to an equally as careless report. Given creative freedom, A project will be much more personalized and thoughtful, and will require more effort to be put into it. This will all prove that the person will be able to properly retain all of this information outside of school, whether it be during summer break, or after they have graduated completely. In everyday life, they wont have someone who can immediately tell them all of the answers, A summer break with no external guidance will prepare them for this reality.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

Drivers need to understand how easily it is to take someone life or themselves. Everyday people are risking their lives due to the high rate of cell phone use while operating a vehicle. Therefore, nowadays cell phones are unnecessary devices because they are a distraction to drivers while their on the road.

634c22a4a024	1D7E734B4A3D	Teachers spend hours or even days grading assignments. If students designed the projects, it would be harder for teachers to determine what the grading rubric should include.

5928eae81230	1D7E734B4A3D	It is teachers' jobs as educators to continue create and assign projects that are challenging enough for the level that their students are at. If students designed their projects, the projects would not be very difficult. This would be because students generally prefer to spend their summers doing other things than homework. If the assignments are not challenging, than the students are more likely to forget about it or not care about it. The point of summer assignments is to keep the students engaged and learning throughout the break. Teachers would make sure that the assignment is easy enough so students dont spend their entire summer stressing about it, but challenging enough so that the assignment is still effective.

e61e7d93e079	1D7E734B4A3D	The projects assigned are most likely for the class the students plan on taking the following school year. For example, if a student is taking algebra 2 and plans to continue on to pre-calculus, the student doesnt know much about calculus yet. That being said, how would a student design a project for a class they havent taken yet. The students are there to learn and it is the teachers job to teach them. The students should not, and could not, teach themselves the content required to know for the following year. The only person who can properly prepare students for a class is the teacher themselves.

All someone would need to do for a report, if it has strict rules, is follow those rules entirely while putting minimal effort. People could be given a high grade for doing as the report said, even though they turned in a mediocre paper with no real care in the subject matter. There wouldnt be a way of giving this mediocre paper the grade it deserves, because the student did what they were told and they took advantage of that loophole. To avoid this mindless compliance, students should instead be given total and complete freedom on their report as long as they apply everything they've learned throughout the school year. This would be a double edged sword, while they are free to design however they want, they must also put in more effort because they will not get any help or instruction from the teacher. Some may believe that a teacher-designed project is a better alternative because if the teacher has a specific rubric, they can help the student by giving them a code to follow

summer projects should be student-designed to allow students more freedom to dictate their project, which may cause some to submit a report worthy of a much higher grade than they might have otherwise received. It would also prevent mindless compliance stemming from a feeling that they have an obligation to adhere to a strict set of rules a teacher has laid out for them, leading to an equally as careless report. Given creative freedom, A project will be much more personalized and thoughtful, and will require more effort to be put into it. This will all prove that the person will be able to properly retain all of this information outside of school, whether it be during summer break, or after they have graduated completely. In everyday life, they wont have someone who can immediately tell them all of the answers, A summer break with no external guidance will prepare them for this reality.

If the assignments are not challenging, than the students are more likely to forget about it or not care about it. The point of summer assignments is to keep the students engaged and learning throughout the break.

The author gave an entire paragraph about the new technologies that NASA is working on to explore Venus, even though his main idea is about why we should send shuttles to Venus. In the article it states " Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during World War II". This entire quote has nothing to do with the topic whatsoever, which shows that the author was gettting side tracked. One reading just this quote from the article would most likely think this article is about computers,and not why humans should explore Venus.
