After studying Martin Luther King, students will reflect on if MLK's dreams have come true to this point.

From there the students will create their own dreams for today's society.

In groups, or alone, the students will script an act for their dreams. Top 'dream' acts will be chosen to be recorded and produced as a part of the video.

Using blank white paper dreams will be written out to present on camera.
Songs and other video clips will be linked to the videos to combine yesterday and today.

Using the Flip Video camera and Windows Movie Maker student will combine their creations into a presentation to be played on morning announcements.
