"I agree with what they said."
It's possibly the most dreaded phrase in literary discussions. The polite nodding. The surface sharing. The performance of analysis without any real meaning building.
But what if the problem isn't our students or even the text? What if it's how we structure the discussion itself?
Drawing from years of teaching Macbeth, this episode breaks down the engineering behind discussions that actually work. We'll explore scene mapping strategies, pattern analysis frameworks, and the specific structures that transform student contributions from random observations into genuine literary analysis.
It's time to make the simple "I agree" obsolete.
