b506a3077514 | 20F9EE3FEC1F | They say that they could use hovering vehcles such as a blimp to fly over the planet, somewhere around 30 miles high. While 30 miles is a long way abover the planet, the temperature would still be around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, which is not ideal for reseachers. "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." If studying a planet is as difficult as the author is saying here, then Venus should be abandoned because even if NASA was able to study it, there is obviously no way that the planet will ever be suitable to live on. The author's arguments so far have all been a lost cause. | Evidence | Effective |
bcae15553370 | 20F9EE3FEC1F | The author does explain that Venus may have been previously similar to Earth-like conditions, including oceans to support forms of life | Claim | Adequate |
0397a4d8179e | 20F9EE3FEC1F | He states that it has similar features to Earth such as valleys, mountains, and craters. While this may be too, Venus has come a long way in that it is no longer able to sustain life. Even if it previously was similar to Earth, that means that it has gotten worse over time, which says that from here on, it will continue to grow worse.
| Evidence | Adequate |
3f5c23685895 | 20F9EE3FEC1F | Proven by the author, Venus's conditions are far too extreme for the technology we have today. This planet is increasingly too dangerous to be explored, therefore the research toward it should be abandoned, and pushed more toward studying other plants, or even other solar systems in order to find another sutiable planet for humans to comfortably live on. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

0df6ffdf90db | 211C17AD0F75 | The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. If your in a classroom and you don't have one of those (FACS) then one day a student can come in all calm in the from out of nowhere there's a fight. But with a FACS when that person comes in the room, and the computer scans the person and it shows that the person is angry. Now that the teacher knows that the person is angry an they can see if they can calm them down. In paragraph 6 it's says "a classroom coomputer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." | Evidence | Adequate |
d8a64de47f9a | 216896F62055 | First,Professor. Thomas Huang of the beckman Institute for advanced Science at the University of Illinois working with
Professor. Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. Dr. Huang and his colleague are developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate which the proces begin when a computer constructs a 3-D computer Model of the Human face that contains all 44 major muscles in the model that must move like Human. | Evidence | Ineffective |
ab63bb9f4dec | 216896F62055 | Second,The Facial Expressions of some individuals often show varying degrees of expression and the new emotion-recognition software tracks facial movements in a real face or in the painted face if Mona Lisa. Each expression of a Human is being compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion). In fact us Humans perform the same impressive "calculation" everyday. | Evidence | Ineffective |
684f0be44e4c | 216896F62055 | Third,Mona Lisa's Demonstration really intended to bring a smile on your face, For example: if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen a similar ad will follow but if your frown the next ad will be different,which makes the classroom computer recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor and with the same technology it can be used to make computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. | Evidence | Ineffective |
d8ffca6952f2 | 216896F62055 | Last,Our Muscles called Orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus make crow's feet around your eyes, in a false smile the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorious. But, to an expert faces don't lie; the muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling politician or celebrity isn't being truthful. | Evidence | Ineffective |
8b0cd38b95d4 | 216896F62055 | In Conclusion, The Theory of Emotion is about moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions,but it also may help produce them, And empathy may happen at some point of time when we unconsciously imitate another person's facial expressions. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
3f3d79837683 | 216A05AF987E | Nick D'Alto's article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" describes the capabilities of new software called the Facial Action Coding System, and provides a few examples of its possible uses. In the text, the author states that the technology, which evaluates the movement of facial muscles to determine emotion, could be beneficial in places such as a classroom settting. | Lead | Adequate |
cbff9c159f07 | 216A05AF987E | Using software such as the Facial Action Coding System could be valuable in a classroom setting as it could improve the quality of learning for students.
| Position | Effective |
578f2dd5b477 | 216A05AF987E | The new emotion-reading technology could help in the classroom as it could make sure students stayed engaged in the lesson. | Claim | Effective |
f45e3d75aac0 | 216A05AF987E | Often in school, students become bored easily, due to lack of attention long attention spans, uninteresting lessons, or boring teachers. This technology could help eliminate bordom. In the article, Dr. Huang states that "a classroom computer could recognize when a student... [is] bored" which would be beneficial, as it "could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This means that this technology could tell if students are bored, and could alert the teacher. If teachers knew when their students were loosing focus and becoming uninterested in the lesson, they could change it to bring students back on focus, which would improve the productivity and use of time in the classroom because teachers would not be wasting time teaching students who are uninterested, and therefore, likely not listening. By eliminating this bordom factor, teachers would be more effective with their teaching time, and students would recieve a better quality of learning. | Evidence | Effective |
b480775db20b | 216A05AF987E | The technology could also help improve the quality of students' learning because it can make sure students are not confused | Claim | Adequate |
4e38c112905e | 216A05AF987E | Often, when teachers ask if everyone understands the material, students who do not understand, will be too emabrassed to ask for help, or the teachers, with such a large class, will not notice if one or only a few students are falling behind. Furthermore, in the article, Dr. Huang states that "'most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" meaning that most communication is picked up in other ways, such as visually. Unfortunately, often in a classroom setting, teachers must face away from their students when writing on a white board at the front of the classroom, or in similar situations, which means that without the visual connection, much of the communication between students and teachers is lost. The new technolgoy could help with this problem, as it could identify students' emotions even when a teacher's back is turned, and thus could alert teachers and help them improve their lessons to fit their students' needs. It could also help evaluate emotions that teachers do not notice, such as if a student is confused, they may try to hide it. This new technology could identify these emotions and help the teacher make sure all of their students understand the material, which would lead to an improved quality of teaching and learning. | Evidence | Effective |
67edbd940e73 | 216A05AF987E | The quality of learning in a classroom setting could be improved by teachers knowing the emotions of their students, which would make new technology such as the Facial Action Coding System, valuable in a classroom setting. This technololgy would be beneficial because it could identify whether students are confused or bored, which would make class time more productive and interesting, as well as make sure all students understood the material. This would improve their quality of learning, and make school more meaningful. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
51d1d6ed1e04 | 218490FD2E1B | The facial action coding system has many promising applications | Position | Adequate |
f2d3f1202be4 | 218490FD2E1B | , Mona Lisa has 83% of happiness 9% disgust 6% fearful and 2% ssanger. According to some new computer software that can reconize emotion the sofware is the latest innovation from prof. Thomas Huang, of the beckman institute for advanced science at the unversity of amsterdam. The process begins when the computar constructs a 3-D computar model of the face: All 44 mayjor muscles in the model must move like human muscles movement of one or more muscles in the model is called an "action unit" then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS. Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristics movements of the facial muscle | Evidence | Ineffective |

09c0643706b7 | 21B6AF900F82 | The author believes Venus is a worthy pursuit depite the dangers. There is lots of evidence to support the authors claim. I personally agree with the author that we should look into Venus more. | Position | Adequate |
b2152ab45479 | 21B6AF900F82 | Venus could be suitable for humans | Claim | Ineffective |
90a146301dfa | 21B6AF900F82 | The author shows this by telling "temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy condiotions but survivalbe for humans." Venus can be suitable for humans, it just would be very difficult starting off. Soon enough humans would adapt to the hostile environment of Venus. | Evidence | Adequate |

875dc520df59 | 21B6AF900F82 | Venus could be suitable yet harsh, but still needs to be learned about a lot more. We still know only the bare minimum of Venus. | Evidence | Ineffective |
fa0669b48ee4 | 21B6AF900F82 | Venus is very hostile | Claim | Adequate |
59cce5c60949 | 21B6AF900F82 | Humans would not be able to survive on an atmosphere that is 97 percent carbon dioxide. It's clouds are highly corrosive with sulfuric acid, and temperatures are averaged over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. It would take a very great amount of effort to make Venus a new home. But if it is studied more we may be able to make it a place to stay. | Evidence | Adequate |
332b3ccc7e4a | 21B6AF900F82 | Overrall I think it would be smart to learn more about Venus. It could potentially be a new home. Venus seems to be almost as promising as Mars does right now, but still we need lots of information. The author had very good claims, and I agree with them. If we put more into studying Venus I believe it would help humanity. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
6a80936725cd | 22049B234D6C | "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change" (Rosenthal source 1) said Transportation of America official David Goldberg in Elisabeth Rosenthal's article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars." With air pollution, smog, and greenhouse gas emissions rising all around the world, officials have announced that cars are to blame. With this, many are resorting to making changes in their communities by offering alternate means of transportation and bringing homes and stores closer together. | Lead | Effective |

5ccd3465352c | 22049B234D6C | it would enforce goodwill and communionship. | Claim | Adequate |
52396aa2e1b1 | 22049B234D6C | With President Obama's issue to decrease the amount of air pollution caused by cars, many have realized that car usage is not as common as it used to be. If the number of cars on the road continues to deplete- "and many sociologists believe it will-it will have benificial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants" (Rosenthal source 4) says Rosenthal in her article "The End of Car Culture." By keeping track and trying to deplete the time you spend driving your car the trend of putting air pollution to an end will increase. | Evidence | Adequate |
b6259428e70e | 22049B234D6C | By using alternate means of transportation such as buses, trains, and car pooling services you are saving gas money and supporting community business'. There is a rise in car pooling that has "facilitated more flexable commuting arrangements, including the evolution of shared van services for getting to work" (Rosenthal source 4) says Rosenthal. As these changes manifest many people are chosing not to switch back to driving themselvs. | Evidence | Adequate |
fe861cb25a03 | 22049B234D6C | a benifit of limiting our car usage can be found in the better communionship that will result as cities will make their stores closer together and communities more closley knit. | Claim | Effective |
6d51b08dc06b | 22049B234D6C | In Bogota, Colombia people are practicing "car-free days" and relying solely on public transportation. As this happens author of article "Care-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," Andrew Selsy, says "parks and sports centers [are] bloom[ing] throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up" (Selsky source 3). Other places implementing car-free districts will never hear the roars of engines drowning out the chirping of the birds or childrens laughter. Infact, stores and public transportation is stratigically placed a walking distance away thus promoting social and physical benifits (Rosenthal source 1). | Evidence | Adequate |
454035436275 | 22049B234D6C | The advantages of limiting car usage include fuel will no longer pollute the air, alternate transportation is available and cheaper, and it would enforce goodwill and communionship. With greenhouse gasses rapidly circulating and polluting the globe it would be acceptional to decrease this by not driving as often. Furthermore, by using alternate transportation such as car pooling or taking a bus money is saved on gas and car repairs. Finally, goodwill and good social habits would increase as towns would become more closley knit as everything would only be a walk away. With this it we should limit our car usage to "save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve saftey" (Rosenthal source 4). | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
97f536f9da0f | 22416450E0EF | Summer break is the biggest part of the year that students look forward to. Students want to have fun with friends and just relax, however, students are still required to continue learning throughout their break in order to retain information they've learned over the school year. Consequently, students are assigned teacher-designed summer projects. | Lead | Adequate |
f650ee1df0b1 | 22416450E0EF | Some people may say that teacher-designed summer projects are effective, however, student-designed projects are better | Position | Adequate |

a331f8476891 | 22416450E0EF | First of all, having students design their own projects would be a lot more enjoyable for students because they have the freedom to choose their own topics | Claim | Effective |
632b0893fce9 | 22416450E0EF | . For example, the famous filmmaker and entrepreneur Walt Disney was not always successful with his work. At the start of his career he drew little art work pieces for a small local newspaper company, although he wasn't able to profit from his drawings that much, he still loved his job because it was something he wanted and loved to do. It can be seen that people are able to go through tough times if they are able to express themselves freely. Another example would be is when my science class was assigned a group project and students had the freedom to do whatever they wanted to do. My group decided to do it on climate change, which wasn't very appealing to me at the time, but as I learned and dug in deeper into the topic, I found it more and more interesting which led to me being more educated in climate change and gaining new knowledge made it was more memorable. This shows that when students have the freedom to choose and design their own projects; it helps students learn something they never knew about, which leads to students being more educated. | Evidence | Effective |
5ce7f215919c | 22416450E0EF | Secondly, letting students design their projects will lead to more diverse topics. | Claim | Effective |
53c524bd2f48 | 22416450E0EF | Students are always taught to follow a rubric which can be stressful; consequently, students are limited when it comes to expressing their thoughts and opinions. In fact, during my English class, students were split into groups and we were all assigned the same topic to debate about and we were also assigned which side to take on the topic. This lead to students being confused and frustrated because they didn't know what to talk about because they didn't agree with what they were assigned, which lead to the debate being very confusing and vague; students from all groups were stating the same basic reasonings with no interesting details. It can be seen that it's hard to describe or discuss about certain topics when there's no diversity of thoughts. On the other hand, during my history class, the whole class held a debate on a topic where students were given the choice to pick which side they wanted to take. As a result, students from both sides were able to share their thoughts and opinions on the topics, which led to students from both sides giving diverse, different, and interesting ideas and students were able to learn from each other. Every person is different and everyone has different thoughts that people can learn from one another. | Evidence | Effective |
5b4d824b9a69 | 22416450E0EF | Some say that teacher-designed projects are better because teachers are more experienced and know what's better for the students | Counterclaim | Effective |
b9018fb8ca6e | 22416450E0EF | however, that reasoning is flawed due to the fact that every student is different and some students need more freedom in education. | Rebuttal | Effective |
8ece97216c1f | 22416450E0EF | For example, studies have shown that when students are given work that's confusing or not enjoyable; they procrastinate until the due date and the scores and grades are often lower. However, when students are given the opportunity to choose their own topics and work on what they want to do, they take more responsibility and complete the task on time with a higher score. Teachers being more experienced than students may be true, but giving students a chance and letting them work on their own may show better results. Often times, students are too focused on grades and rubrics, which can be stressful and upsetting when they receive a bad grade for their work they thought was good, however, when students follow their own rules and knowledge it'll be more rewarding when they receive a good grade and it'll be easier for students to find what they lack and need to work on, to improve when they receive a bad grade.
| Evidence | Effective |
387a3399f2ba | 22416450E0EF | In conclusion, students should have the freedom to choose and design their own summer projects because it'll give the students a chance freely express themselves. Students today have a lot of information thrown at them during the school year and having to retain all that information throughout summer is very difficult, but having students forcefully research and learn about a topic they don't like would be very discouraging and not very effective. Learning is an important part of life, but students should still have the freedom to research and work on something they want to do. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
ffd841c2c220 | 22715C8105CB | I agree with the author because it its one of our closest planet and it is most earth- like planet in our solar system | Position | Adequate |
121a7e8aba6c | 22715C8105CB | the autor says venus long ago was most likely covered largely with oceans and could of supported various forms of life. if we ceould visit venus we could probably find fossils from there. | Evidence | Adequate |

a27785fe260c | 22715C8105CB | in conclusion i do not the think the author wants to visit venus because it is way to hot to even try to land there if we did land there you would melt it says in paragraph 3 that the enviorment would crush a Submarine that is accustomed to dive in the deepest parts of our oceans. venus has erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequrnt lighting strikes to any thing trying to land on its surface. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
39e86436357c | 2275D39DC5AD | In the article the author trlls how a new technolgy called the Facisl Action Coding System that identify human emotions. The software is used to "calculate emotions". They can caculate six basic emotions "happiness, suprise. anger,disgust,fear, and sadness". It can tell all of thoes things by your face movements and how you talk. Anyonw can tell if you are sad and dont want to be bothered so it shows emotion but if you "put on a happy face" it could accully make you very happy.

5793f2e8c0b6 | 2275D39DC5AD | In conclusion the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of the students in the classroom is valialbe becuase they all need to know how there emotions are and how they are looking in a classroom or jsut on the daily basic. And they can also see what emotional are meaning at that tiem when they didnt. It aslo tells if someone has a real smile and a fake one. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication, notes Dr. Huang. So computers need to understand that, too.Eckman has classified six basic emotionshappiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadnessand then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises your eyebrows when youre surprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger. | Evidence | Ineffective |

30f83464433c | 22FBB7ED7597 | The author suggests that studying Venus is worthy enough even though it is very dangerous. | Position | Adequate |
0744c1a2c9a9 | 22FBB7ED7597 | The author mentioned that on the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet . His solution to survive this weather that is dangerous to us humans is to allow them to float above the fray. A "blimp-like" vehicle hovering 30 or so miles would help avoid the unfriendly ground conditions . At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth | Evidence | Adequate |

fd4532a1ad4e | 22FD17FB1BEB | How would you like to do a boring project on your summer break? Doesn't sound fun, does it? Schools believe that during the summer students need to actively learn. They ensure students continue learning by giving them summer projects. The matter at hand is; whether these projects should be teacher-designed or student-designed. It is the students project, so why shouldn't it be designed by them? In most cases, teacher-designed projects are very detailed and include many parts, the teachers expect too much from the students. A student-designed project can ensure interest in the project, teacher-designed projects become boring and there's a lack of interest. During summer break many students will go on vacations or visit family, | Lead | Adequate |

3255996da2e4 | 22FD17FB1BEB | Teachers have high standards. High standards can be good during the school year but for a summer project this can become very stressful. There are a plethora of components to a teacher-designed project, research, citations, outlines, rough drafts, and countless more. These projects force students to push themselves. | Evidence | Adequate |

3a911a26ae33 | 22FD17FB1BEB | Doing a project you're uninterested in can be very bland and boring. Teachers don't think about how uninteresting a topic or project can be to a student. Not having interest in a topic can be very detrimental to a students grade and the effort they put into the project. The same reaction can come from a boring class, students will start to loose focus, dread doing the work, or not put in any effort. I've personally experienced doing a project I had no interest in. I subconsciously procrastinated which lead to turning it in very late. I could not focus on the task and was drowning in work by the time it was due | Evidence | Effective |
24dc160584c1 | 22FD17FB1BEB | If a student were to designed the project they could choose a topic they were genuinely interested in. This would set them up for success and they could have fun learning something new. | Claim | Effective |
9c945aa7fb39 | 22FD17FB1BEB | Summer break is commonly associated with spending time with family and going on vacations. This is the case for most students. Giving students a long, details, mandated project is time consuming and takes away from their vacation. As a child of a divorced couple, my summers are filling with traveling to see my dad and spending time with him. I've personally experience having a summer project that I had to take time out of seeing my Father to do, which was upsetting because I only see him once a year. It's students like me who would love the chance to design their summer projects. | Evidence | Effective |
cccd13ad6989 | 22FD17FB1BEB | Given the chance to design their summer project students can ensure for themselves that it will not take away from their own plans and it will encourage them to finish it in a more timely manner. | Claim | Effective |
bfaa493af812 | 22FD17FB1BEB | Some schools assign students summer projects to assure they continue to learn during their vacation. These projects should be designed by the students. The projects should be student-designed because teachers have high standards. Due to these high standards their projects require students to push themselves when all year that what they've been doing. Lack of interest plays a huge role in many teacher's projects. Teachers aren't doing their best to assure that their projects spark some aspect of interest in their students. Having no interest in a project can cause the student to procrastinate and not do their best. Lastly, students have complicated schedules in the summer, many go away on vacation or spend time with family. Having a teacher designed-project that's time consuming can take away from their valuable time. Letting students design the project can ensure they will have enough time to work on it and will encourage them to finish it earlier. Student-designed projects can benefit the student immensely in multiple ways, where as a teacher-designed project will let them down and cause unnecessary stress. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
