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! Andy Nash New England Literacy Resource Center/World Education
