2ac308c26c25 | 85882575BD1C | By traveling over water you can see fun things like sea animals and you can also visit cool places. | Evidence | Adequate |
958de573e2e1 | 85882575BD1C | If you like animals or if you take care of animals then this is the thing for you | Claim | Adequate |
98d535fc2949 | 85882575BD1C | you get to take care of animals so that way they can get to where they are going safely. Plus if you have never done it before, it would be a pretty cool experience because you also get to feed the animals on the boat ride and you get to give them something to drink. | Evidence | Adequate |
2fa74aa103cf | 85882575BD1C | This would also be a fun and creative program because you get to do cool thing like watch dolphins and fish and all of the other sea creatures swim. | Claim | Ineffective |
cf629dece055 | 85882575BD1C | The way that this would be a creative program is because you could make up names for the animals. In the text it says, "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy." So in that sentence, it proves that being a seagoing cowboy was a fun experience. | Evidence | Adequate |
f48528c611b4 | 85983B2516C5 | While the idea of using a Facial Action Coding System in the educational process would certainly be interesting, I do not think it is nearly advanced enough to be able to be used in modern schools. | Position | Effective |
764d9b4e0ab8 | 85983B2516C5 | While the technology may be able to find the hidden emotions behind the famous portrait Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, that does not mean it is in a position to help students learn. | Evidence | Adequate |

4745ac98f345 | 85983B2516C5 | Even if we allowed camera's to scan the faces of students in school, we would not be able to decode their emotions in a speed befiting our educational system today. | Claim | Effective |
07e493c04f3f | 85983B2516C5 | At the seventh passage, the author states that, "Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile," suggesting that the majority of modern computers do not have the power to actually run the software. The PCs that schools buy are almost never more powerful than the ones bought by consum... | Evidence | Effective |

556a9ae553c9 | 85983B2516C5 | If we were to simply put that first fact aside and instead look at the ability for this technology to assist students in an ideal setting, we still find that students can fake their emotions in order to cheat the system. | Claim | Effective |
8c5e603a049f | 85983B2516C5 | In the third passage of the artice, the author states, "Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness ... and then associated each with charactersitic movements of the facial muscles," meaning that the software associated voluntary or involuntary movements of the face with emotions. The problem with this system is... | Evidence | Effective |
aea8a8eebec8 | 85983B2516C5 | The idea of being able to find out the emotions of all of the chidlren in a school on a whim also rises privacy concerns that would need to be addressed before any program including this software would be implemented. | Claim | Effective |
fecd0fd5e947 | 85983B2516C5 | The information gathered from students could be used for selfish purposes, as explained in the sixth passage of the article, "if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different," showing that companies have use for this technology to better thei... | Evidence | Effective |
b08b5cd575dc | 85983B2516C5 | Because of the lack of availablity, the potential cheating of the software, and the privacy concerns involved, the Facial Action Coding System is not able to be used in its current state to benefit schools. While this technology could be used in the future to help students, for example students with mental disabilities... | Concluding Statement | Effective |

8197feeee2dc | 86A3A166AA67 | A theory and technology such as emotions and the emotional state of someone should be based off of science instead of being based off opinion | Claim | Ineffective |
21c23e18e24a | 86A3A166AA67 | Take a minute and compare this new piece of technology to a quiz given on the internet to see what celebrity I would be. Moral of the story if the person can fake it, they can make it. | Evidence | Ineffective |
4d5370553bcd | 86A3A166AA67 | Someone can make believable facial expressions all day does not mean they are happy, sad, or any other emotion based on what they look like.

3c77970cb8a2 | 86D1F207868B | Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

539a1dcebb38 | 86E5ADAE8206 | As a student, one of the worst situations is one where an assignment is given that is unclear, vague, or otherwise difficult to understand. Completing projects is usually a laborsome enough activity on its own, but when the question or prompt is incomprehensible, it turns a small hill of a task into a mountain of one. ... | Lead | Effective |
e345ea1cc187 | 86E5ADAE8206 | To avoid this, as well as a multitude of other issues, summer projects should be designed by the students, | Position | Effective |

f9defb674f97 | 86E5ADAE8206 | One could argue that this is counter intuitive since students would not all have the takeaway the teacher wants them to gain, | Counterclaim | Effective |
58dcdf85a3a4 | 86E5ADAE8206 | but summer projects are once again just about assuring that students are learning and usually not followed up on as true assignments.

0d6f44640172 | 86E5ADAE8206 | Giving students control over what they do for a summer project could greatly benefit their learning.
