[Ailist] thoughts on working in pairs in small groups

[Lynne Gilliland-Garber]

Please let me know your experience and thinking on having people work in 
pairs when the large group is very small - maybe 5 or 6 people.  The 
last small group (7 people) I worked with some group members resisted 
working in pairs as they thought it was a small enough group to discuss 
the appreciative questions as a group.  I am working with a group of 5 
next week and anticipate the same resistance.  I myself like the pairs 
as it is was to create more intimacy and trust but perhaps I am off the 
mark here.

I look forward to knowing others input on this.

Kind regards
