Group-graded Fishbowl, full version 
2 groups in concentric circles: each has 16m in fishbowl to discuss reading, then other group can comment for 10m. Groups switch places, & we repeat. Besides this rubric, I use ClassDojo to track individual rates, which are factored into this group grade. Groups use shared GoogleDoc (template delivered to groups via Schoology) to prep for discussion, & they access the Doc during the discussion. They use timers & backchannels during discussion. Shared doc is graded separately.
