This folder contains the syllabus and material used in a German literature class on the contemporary novel Jahresringe (2020) by German author Andreas Wagner. Dealing with themes such as home, migration and climate justice, the novel links highly topical issues that nurture critical thinking and global citizenship education. The syllabus is designed for a class that takes place once a week over the duration of a term (i.e. 12 contact hours), although this can be amended, e.g. if only excerpts of the novel are studied and discussed.

The material is aimed at advanced students of German and set at CEFR level C1.
