OK, so how can this be used with students? And what's the value?
Expand upon learning, point of view, perspective. For instance, I just read an amazing book, State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. The story itself was compelling, but what made it especially rich was the sub-text, the underpinnings of the story. One theme deals with the ethics of medical research.
