  11. Activity #3 Play part of the I Have a Dream speech for the class. Next, have the children draw a picture of a dream they have for making the world a better place. Children will then finish the sentence “I have a dream that…” and those can be compiled into a class book.

As a class, identify important events in Dr. King’s life. Create art representations of important events, and sequence the events in order for a timeline.
