@Astro_Flow using your video on teamwork to teach some of my students about teamwork with a project about space we are doing (SSEP!) would love to email you with a couple of questions to support my students’ learning. Is there a way for me to do that? Thanks! 🍎

I've been using this rubric for years. It measures all the important parts of prosody, not just reading rate. GIves valuable information!
