60993ef39fdd | 1627A070AEBB | This landform is very unique.
It looks like a face but over the years the picture does not look the same.

The pictures from 1998 look way different because of the technology of then and now.... | Evidence | Adequate |
0b46b0f9fe80 | 1627A070AEBB | If you look real closely to the pictures you can tell that over the time period that the landform turned from a bunch of scattered dust into a pile that looks like a face, but it is actually not. | Claim | Adequate |

5b2ead458643 | 1638D2DC4FC9 | If students should take place in community service, they should do it on their own terms on their own time. | Claim | Effective |
03375f054306 | 1638D2DC4FC9 | What is community service without the positive attitude to help somebody out? Instead of having this positive attitude in your students, what you'll receive is a bunch of poor attitudes and the bare minimum of effort. | Claim | Effective |
e64643407ad7 | 1638D2DC4FC9 | I have experienced community service before as I have fed the homeless a few times. Trust me, I'm no angel but I did enjoy what I was doing for others.
