Your girl is part of the vulnerable population. So, this is how we fish together--out in the middle of nowhere and at least 6 feet apart with masks on. This is The Tiger and I way upstream. Still, we are priveleged to be able to have middle-of-nowhere places to go.

I also include the points, page requirement, and due date for students. I'm not entirely happy with the rubric because it has a lot of stuff to go through. In my best of all worlds, I'd like to simplify it without losing clarity. Also, there are some "vague" words here like "good" and "successful" that I may reconsider. Yet, I also like the wiggle room that they give students and that they give me as a grader.
