Point out that Martin Luther King dreamed for his nation, he dreamed for all men and women and all children, and he even had a dream for his own children.

What problems would he want to solve?  What issues would he see as being the most important?  What issues do they (the students) see as important?  What would their dream be?  Guide students into thinking about the nation, the world, their community, and even their family.  Record students’ answers.
