I'm in grad school right now working on my Lit degree. I love teaching, but all they let us teach are comp courses. Thinking ahead for when I do get to teach Lit, what are some tips? I worried because all the teaching instruction I've had is how to teach writing, and I know from experience Lit classes are different (of course). I feel like I'm a poor discussion leader, and while there are writing elements of Lit classes, all of mine have been mostly discussion-based. How do I establish a thought provoking discussion for students where they can come up with solid, plausible ideas without me flat out telling them the most common ideas on the text and why? I seem to find myself asking them questions like, "Lets look at this scene. What do you think is going on? Why? Oh okay. Next point..*repeat endlessly through text*" I sense that this is something that comes with practice on my part, but any ideas/tips would be helful. I love teaching, and I want to be solid on this when I actually do get to work with my passion.
