Description
In the Waldorf education system, history is often taught through the use of biography, in order to introduce students to historical events with a human context.
In this collection, Susan Cook has gathered together the stories of twenty remarkable men and women from around the world, including Marie Curie, Mohandas Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Hellen Keller and Martin Luther King Jr. These stories are told in vivid and lively detail and enhanced with illustrations from Waldorf students.
The result is a valuable tool for Steiner-Waldorf teachers using biography in their Class 8 teaching, giving them a wealth of stories to draw upon to enhance their lessons.
