Oral Assessment Ideas! WOW!

Often my students in my classroom say that they are lost and need help pinpointing where we are at given time and that given lesson, so we stop and redirect each other. Then I ask them what's the opposite of "lost" they say "found", "I'm found!". I think this is the cutest expression from them, when they are not lost anymore. :)
This is exactly how I am beginning to feel in finding this excellent website on Oral Assessment. I was doing a search on Oral Assessment Rubrics, I had one by the way, but I did not want to type it all, I wish I had a scanner. Perhaps, I can fax a copy of it to Marilee and she can post it on blackboard. However, I have found this website in my searches, and I don't feel so lost anymore. I now have an idea of where I want to take my research as I tailor this to fit my research question. Here it is:
