3cbca706d4a7 | 9756E31C449F | Being social teaches you great life skills for the future.

0d4a4b54bdd8 | 9756E31C449F | I agree with the principle on the students choosing at least one extracurricular, after school activity. It'll prevent laziness upon students, bring a happier environment for those going to school, and it'll help with social skills for shy students. No child or student at school wants to be body shamed or bullied for b... | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

89f6c2369e46 | 9865A4972C51 | The Face that appeared on Mars was something that all of us would never forget. We didn't know how it appeared or why it appeared, but we were going to figure it out.

73cc5be9d91d | 9865A4972C51 | It was a natural landform because the caption that we put for people to see was " huge rock formation..... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." | Evidence | Adequate |
02e65793a80c | 9865A4972C51 | The face was just a rock formation that gave the illusion of the eyes, nose, and mouth becuse it was just a shadow that we were seeing. | Claim | Adequate |

| Claim | Adequate |
b36d2449d810 | 9865A4972C51 | It was a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet. The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze.

5aadc200e1be | 9865A4972C51 | I after all did convince the scientist that I was working with, that the Face was just a natural landform and it wasn't made by aliens .

b2df4981f03a | 986C125C24A1 | I agree with the author because Venus is reffered to Earth's "twin" and that's one exmaple for why it's important for us to know and learn. Another example in the article, talks about how it's worth the danger it presents.

99149f8e8e39 | 986C125C24A1 | In paragraph 2 of this article, it's explaining to us readers that Venus is often reffered to as Earth's "twin." We need to know whats by our planet and if its harmful to be near or not. | Claim | Adequate |
63cde34021ad | 986C125C24A1 | Venus is the closet plant to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closet in distance as well. As well as Venus being close to Earth, there's also mars which these two are our planetary neighbors, whom orbit the the sun at different speeds. Since we have Venus being around the corner at times, humans... | Evidence | Adequate |
8f0a203d3746 | 986C125C24A1 | With being said, a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Think of all that carbon dioxide we're inhailing just to be on that planet. We're going through all that because Venus is a worthy pursuit. Not only that but the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, an... | Evidence | Adequate |

49f187fb8dbb | 986C125C24A1 | Now you're probably thinking since our twin planet is so inhospitable, then why are sicentist even discussing futher vists to its surface? The reason behind is because astronomers are fascinated by Venus | Claim | Adequate |
744a38912772 | 986C125C24A1 | because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our Solar system. Even of the dangers it can pursit.

The value of returing to V... | Evidence | Adequate |
39b0e9a8a0e7 | 986C125C24A1 | Overall studying Venus is such a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it can occur to us. As I have shown some examples how its worthy but yet a worth pursuit, I think its an important planet to know about. It's important because it referred to our "twin" planet, it's has so much carbon dixoide and a high fahrenheit, and... | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

1afe6a49fbd8 | 98B33A9F1D9C | In Paragraph 4, the author states, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." If this is true, then could Venus become like Earth once again? | Evidence | Effective |

6c657755a27d | 98B33A9F1D9C | In Paragraph 6, the author suggests, "Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough misson to understand Venus would need to get up close and person despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges." I believe the author is correct in this statement | Evidence | Effective |
2f2f2ab00cdc | 98B33A9F1D9C | . If we start looking at exploring Venus as a challenge instead of a risk, it could possibly give researchers more motivation to get out and explore. | Claim | Effective |
78fd258b8ae9 | 98B33A9F1D9C | In Paragraph 8, the author claims, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiousity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." The author brought up the word "challenge" again, | Evidence | Effective |
0876891248f4 | 98B33A9F1D9C | he really thinks the challenge is worth it. | Claim | Effective |
890090792105 | 98B33A9F1D9C | I agree with him in this claim because if humans can explore Venus, I also believe we can go on to do bigger and better things with exploring our solar system | Evidence | Effective |
3d5b0462779b | 98B33A9F1D9C | The author did a good job in making his claims and then proceeding to back them up with evidence and facts. Although he had some opinions, the article was overall well written and well put together. The author convinced me, as the reader, that exploring Venus is definitely worth a few more tries. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
