84fd3b46fd45 | 3EEDE8AD3CB3 | By allowing students to design their own projects instead, each student can individually design their project in a way that is compatible with the existing summer plans. | Claim | Effective |
760e7318a87b | 3EEDE8AD3CB3 | some may argue that allowing students to design their own project encourages the design of lazy, easy, and uninspired projects. After all, why would a student intentionally design a complex project for a time span intended to be a break? | Counterclaim | Adequate |
dd274ffb07ad | 3EEDE8AD3CB3 | However, both teacher-designed and student-designed projects open up the possibility of lazy work. Teacher-designed projects will inevitably suffer from lazy work while student-designed projects can suffer from lazy design. Either way, students will find ways to work less over their break | Rebuttal | Effective |
cd86b84cbb1f | 3EEDE8AD3CB3 | However, this assumes that students can design their project without supervision. By requiring teacher approval of a project, teachers can ensure that students design a project that is worth completing, while retaining all other benefits of a student-designed project.

5533a49b9ee5 | 3EEDE8AD3CB3 | While some may argue that student-designed projects will lead to lazy project design, this can be easily negated while also ensuring that students have an interesting project that they are able to complete over their break.

94a294546e67 | 3F0C266099A0 | With the information provied we can determind that the author gave enough reasons. For example "These conditions are far more extreme than anything human encounter on Earth."(para.3.) | Claim | Adequate |

ae74700dea63 | 3F32AA4DA912 | Today I am here to share with you that scientificly it is just a natural landform. | Position | Adequate |
54af0b453ce7 | 3F32AA4DA912 | It is just a conspericy that the Face was made by aliens. The Mars Global Surveyor captured photos of what the Face looks like from above Mars. The image shows a landform on the planet that seems to look very much like a face. | Evidence | Adequate |
99e0e96708c1 | 3F32AA4DA912 | The Face on Mars is scientificly known to be a landform in the planet. This landform is much like the Martian equvialent of a butte or mesa. | Claim | Adequate |
47f4e62cc485 | 3F32AA4DA912 | The landform just so happens to look like a face. That's why many people believe that the lanform is was actually made by aliens. Do you know how there are craters on the moon? If so the "Face" is almost like that but instead of the crater going in, it's pushing outward. That is the easiest way to describe it. | Evidence | Adequate |
34d72bdd5af9 | 3F32AA4DA912 | So far NASA has not found aliens to be real. | Claim | Adequate |
909a095474db | 3F32AA4DA912 | That doesn't meant that they aren't real. It just means that the face is highly unlikely to be made by aliens. But one day if NASA does discover aliens that might be a possibility that the "landform" was made by aliens. But until that day comes around it will just be considered a landform based on scientific facts. | Evidence | Adequate |
70d8c3798e9d | 3F32AA4DA912 | The first spacecraft to see this landform was NASA's Viking 1 in 1976. Then 18 years later, on April 5, 1998, the MGS flew over Cydonia for the first time. The picture that the MOC was 10 times sharper than the orginal Viking photos. This became very popular at that time in the past. The Face was used in a Hollywood fi... | Evidence | Ineffective |

I can see where everyone got mistaken but the facts are that it was not made by aliens. So now you will be able to say that you know a lot of things about the Face on Mars! That is everything that I can ex... | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
