Dave Hewitt
This form of whole class participation and learning/teaching was something that was very interesting to see being done. It seemed to work very well for this particular teacher and is something that I would be interested in trying out for myself. I think that you really need to be organized and prepared and have a clear sense of where you want to go in order to teach this method, even though it is very loosely structured. I am not too sure if I could teach like this very often however, as I often feel the need for more structure, but I do believe that there is something to be said for this method.

I agree with you that this style of teaching needs lots of prep and planning, and I disagree about the lack of structure. I have seldom seen a more carefully structured lesson than these ones of Dave Hewitt's. It may not be a conventional or familiar structure, but he has sequenced the events and concepts introduced with great care.
