30e9a34e4474 | 5CD0A11E317E | some may agree that giving students teacher-designed summer projects is necessary because it ensures that everyone has the same level of difficulty and students can receive help easier due to the usage of a rubric specifically for the project | Counterclaim | Adequate |

9f08271784b7 | 5CD0A11E317E | Teacher-designed projects discourage students from working in such a way that benefits them since they must follow a rubric that limits them. | Claim | Effective |
0f145b8cde4a | 5CD0A11E317E | That rubric does not give students an opportunity to work in such a way that is unique to them because the rubric requires perfect, "textbook" solutions. Also, teacher-designed projects are often confusing and may require thinking that is outlandish, or too difficult to understand. This further proves that projects not... | Evidence | Effective |
2756acca88c0 | 5CD0A11E317E | some may still agree with assigning students teacher-based projects over the summer because everyone receives the same assignment, therefore the level of difficulty is the same for everyone. | Counterclaim | Effective |

aca8b30aca59 | 5D01CC697BFA | Futhermore we have concluded that the "Face" on Mars is just rock formation. There is no futher information on the "alien" therory and that this is out of the picture. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

10af2da9c7ad | 5D724F93F765 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author argues the point that exploring Venus is worth the effort and risks exhibited. The author claims that, despite the harsh conditions and deadly atmosphere, this planet is worth travelling to and observing, due to its being the "nearest option for a planetary visit". | Lead | Effective |
fdd2e64390f4 | 5D724F93F765 | While the author does list a few good reasons for Venus exploration, it is my belief that they also include many reasons not to explore this dangerous planet. This inclusion of the "cons" of exploration hurts the thesis more than it helps it, and damages the authors argument. | Position | Effective |
f821aee65f8c | 5D724F93F765 | From the beginning of their argument, the author states that "no spacecraft survived the landing [on Venus] for more than a few hours" and that "not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades". | Evidence | Effective |
f585ecd070ff | 5D724F93F765 | The usage of these statements creates a negative image, which can lead readers to believe that the exploration of Venus is too dangerous to enagage in. | Claim | Effective |
792325316bc0 | 5D724F93F765 | Furthermore, the author uses facts intended to continue to convince readers that Venus is dangerous, when this is exactly the opposite of what the author is arguing for. Making statements which invoke fear or apprehension only pushes the reader away from the topic, instead of influencing him or her to gain interest in ... | Evidence | Effective |
502d179499fc | 5D724F93F765 | Similarly, the author provides little reasoning behind the belief that humanity should explore the planet Venus. | Claim | Effective |
0acee6012859 | 5D724F93F765 | Despite claiming that "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit", there is little evidence given that exploring and observing Venus would be of much benefit. In fact, the author seems to have found more evidence against Venus exploration, as the prior paragraph (which listed reasons that Venus wa... | Evidence | Effective |
11fa07e9faf4 | 5D724F93F765 | As the author continues with their argument, readers become increasingly aware that Venus is likely not as beneficial as the author intends to make it seem. With an unlivable biome and dangerous atmospheric conditions, Venus is likely far too hazardous to explore at this time in history, and I believe that the author o... | Concluding Statement | Effective |

4c4ff37c1138 | 5E57B80BFC66 | In the aricle "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" says that Venus is really good to study despite the dangers you might encounter. The article says that you may study it,imagen all the wonders you can find. | Position | Adequate |

It also say's that the speed of orbiting around the sun is close to Mars, and also Venus. Yet also Venus is very close to us that the humans have tried to send spacecraft to land on Venus numerous times. And yet ea... | Evidence | Adequate |
07a7aecbb340 | 5E57B80BFC66 | Also in paragraph three it says that the atmosphere is very thick in Venus. | Claim | Adequate |
191ae5d8169f | 5E57B80BFC66 | That it has a 97 percent of carbon dioxide that covers Venus. Also the temperature is very extreme which is why we cannot live in Venus, even though Mercury is closest to the sun Venus is much hotter than Mercury. | Evidence | Adequate |
b4f3ce88d781 | 5E57B80BFC66 | Another reason is that Venus has a high pressure and also heat which states in paragraph three. | Claim | Adequate |
12565807a505 | 5E57B80BFC66 | Venusian geology says that Venus has erupting volcanoes, and very powerful erathquakes, it also has frequent lightning strikes that hits on the land.

Yet also Venus does have some features of Earth, Venus has rocky sediment which includes valleys,mountains,and also craters. Also scientist say that to visit Venus it will take a long time fram... | Evidence | Adequate |
c5af5345a0cb | 5E57B80BFC66 | Another reason on why Venus can be dangerous to study is that humans are having an idea on sending humans to Venus. | Claim | Adequate |
07832a379ff2 | 5E57B80BFC66 | Scientist are coming up with a solution have them float above the fray and not land. They are coming up with ideas of having a blimp like vehicle just hovering about 30 or more miles above the landscape. They may have a vehicle hovering over Venus so it could avoid the ground conditions for just staying off ground. The... | Evidence | Adequate |
30d077ecfb55 | 5E57B80BFC66 | In conclusion Venus is very dangerous, it has high temperatures and high pressure which the humans can not survive. Earth and Venus may have the same mountains and valleys, but Venus is to hot for us to survive. In conclusion Venus is dangerous to study. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
