This means that he was looking down for most of the speech sometimes, but very rarely looking up for a split second.

It’s no surprise. UbD is a tough concept to grasp. Understanding by Design forces the unit creator to design units backward. It is a completely different concept from what teachers know and learned in their teacher training.
