4aeccd497bf8 | CD4B9F6B311B | The author presents the idea of exploring Venus well | Position | Adequate |
604f4ae12039 | CD4B9F6B311B | But what about walking on the surface to explore from the space craft? If we could walk on the planet without being harmed by all of the outside forces, then we coulf run more tests. | Evidence | Ineffective |

c142eb6349f1 | CD4B9F6B311B | These factors show that with the materials we have, we should be going for a safer planet like the moon or mars. The author also states that the planet atmosphere is 97 percent carbon dioxide with highly corrosive clouds. This shows that most metals we have can be melted by the clouds and the temperature at the surface... | Evidence | Adequate |

43851760e7be | CD4B9F6B311B | We would have plenty of things to test here on Earth. Venus also has the hottest surface temperature in the solar system. If we could find a way to keep the hot air out and the cool air in, we could do it. | Evidence | Ineffective |
5a8a84a3e1a9 | CD4B9F6B311B | In conclusion, scientists should not be looking into trying to land on Venus. There are too many risk factors to take and we don't have the resources. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

b0a56e15eaf8 | CE120A8B4336 | Paragraph 4 states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.

If Venus could've supp... | Evidence | Effective |
4bcf29b380ef | CE120A8B4336 | Although Venus is analogous to Earth, there are slight differences of the two planets.

254affa469aa | CE9EB0366069 | Summer! Often described as a time to sit back and relax, a summer vacation can be seen as the antithesis to any opportunity for learning. However, summer projects allow for learning to continue throughout the year. | Lead | Adequate |
bc1379fd1574 | CE9EB0366069 | Summer projects should be student driven, due to the fact that they allow for self-motivation and individualism, as long as teachers are able to monitor the progress and quality of the work being done. | Position | Effective |
a19e2066774c | CE9EB0366069 | A teacher-designed summer project does not allow for the same amount of individualism that could stem from a project designed by a student. | Claim | Effective |
798c1b09ceb9 | CE9EB0366069 | Giving specific requirements for a summer project for an entire class of students will produce a number of cookie-cutter responses with no variety from student to student.

78e8da12d17e | CEBC3C34962E | I think this is a good idea because say a student was having a bad day at school, the computer can tell if you are having a bad day and so the teacher wouldnt ask any questions, try to make you stand infront of the class reading a book or doing a math problem on the board. | Evidence | Adequate |
