The focus of teacher students is often drawn to the theoretical part of teaching. But teachers are also responsible to teach our students the values of society. The curriculum for elementary school and high school respectively will be the theoretical frame for the values that will be investigated in this work. Some of those values are solidarity and empathy. There are different ways of how to approach this topic in class. The usage of a novel as an anchor for society’s values is going to be investigated. The novel chosen for this work is Antonia Michaelis’ Der Märchenerzähler (2011). Close reading is the chosen method to assess the novel and to take out presented values and themes from it. The main question for this essay is: How this can be incorporated into the value education in a German class in the Swedish high school. To answer this question a couple of other questions need to be answered first: Which characteristics and themes are presented in the novel? Which values are to be taught to students? Which values are shown and expressed in the novel? The result of the character and theme analyses show that this novel can be incorporated into the German lesson in order to teach students values.
