They love to compare their ideas for a dream to King's vision for freedom with this guide. HIT HERE FOR VIDEO DESCRIPTION OF THIS PRODUCT Some ask if teens could also share a dream to inspire the world? Yes - a recent world news story is shared about a teen whose autism problems shaped his world class dream, and students are guided in a reader-response approach to start small and grow a dream with Courage and persistence as Martin Luther King, did. Your students will actively experience how dreams involve both play and investigation. They see examples and are facilitated to reach beyond failures to the kind of belief and compassion King offers at the helm of leadership. Through King’s example – students discover how thinking independently is risky for teens as for adults. They also learn how their brains equip them with a chemical called dopamine to take good risks. As innovators, learners are invited to design a dream team project to impact world hunger. In teams - they will explore their dreams through multiple intelligences related to solving hunger issues, for instance.
