Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll be calling on you. Some elementary facilitation techniques would be really useful as we talk about talking. Thanks for the suggestion.

Each student would have the choise as to which topic they wanted to tackle. You could even choose these topics collaboratively with the students. The assignment - a non-traditional essay - would be to write a wikipedia type artice on that aspect of the book or play. Then host some conversations around that. In fact perhaps we could teach students some elementary facilitation techniques to help them learn how to conduct conversations that would lead to a collaboratively produced essay about a book.

It can be done but it has to be explicit and not implicit or unacknowledged. It seems to me that you are going to need to grapple with the “researcher as participant” issue here.
