Amy,
Here's an idea that I've talked about with some teachers, but I don't
know how it turned out . . . 

We were talking about how abstract the maps can seem to students, and
we thought about using stories (they were thinking about using some of
the stories in the Civic Participation Sourcebook or excerpts from the
book
"Soul of a Citizen") as a way in to discussing the roles (in this case
the community member role). The idea was to read the narrative and
then
talk about which role map activities had been reflected in the story,
which the students felt were most important, etc. This led us to
thinking also about films - or scenes from films - that could be good
catalysts for these discussions (and help students into the maps).

It would be wonderful to find a place for literature within EFF!
