We love collaborative pairs!  They're much more dynamic than the typical model of group work. In large groups, students can get lost or feel unwilling to contribute, but in collaborative pairs, the students feel that they have a safer environment in which to share their thoughts.

Q4:
The backwards design of the Learning-Focused Lesson is the most intriguing part of it. It can be extremely difficult to plan a lesson in the traditional beginning-to-end model because you can't start a lesson effectively if you don't know where you're going.
