Discussion and Poster - Intro to philosophy The student will study Aquinas' first argument for God's existence and Rower's argument for atheism. The student will then explain both arguments to the class. The student will create a poster and show it to the class while presenting the arguments. This activity has two learning goals: 1) To identify and understand key notions in Aquinas's argument and in Rowe's argument 2) To learn how to give a clear and concise presentation integrating both verbal and visual tools.

Aquinas vs Rowe
	Poor 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Argument	Poor The student identifies less than two key notions for each argument and does not satisfactorily explain their role in the argument.	Good For each argument, the student identifies two notions and satisfactorily explain their role. However, she either fails to state the argument in premise-conclusion form or she does not indicate how that notion contributes to the derivation of other premises or the conclusion.	Excellent For each argument, the student identifies two notions and satisfactorily explain their role. To identify a notion, the student has to (a) name it correctly, (b) define it accurately, and (c) provide a clarificatory example. To satisfactorily explain the role of a notion in the proof in which it appears, the student has to (a) state the argument in premise-conclusion form and (b) to indicate how that notion contributes to the derivation of other premises or the conclusion.
Poster	Poor The students either fails to individuate an appropriate image and she fails to fit it appropriately into the poster.	Good The student individuates an appropriate image, but she fails to fit it appropriately into the poster.	Excellent For each concept, the student finds an image that (a) instantiate or illustrate it and (b) makes it easier to remember. The student has to (a) individuate an appropriate media and legally usable images; (b) crop images so that they are not too big while still clear; (c) individuate a good level of brightness; and (d) assign a short title to each image to connect that image to the concept that it illustrates.
