Materials for language teaching at Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf) Schools The meeting of individual destinies – crossing social and cultural barriers, finding brotherhood and mutual aid between sufferers and helpers, practising courage in the quest for the freedom of others – that is the theme of these six accounts. They are told in an intentionally spare and matter-of-fact style, leaving both background research and imaginative colouring to the teacher and student. Thus the stories can become useful “growing points“ for a number of activities in Class 9.
