As I was listening to a recording of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous speech "I Have a Dream", I myself had a dream about how to incorporate Dr. King's dream and the dreams of my fifth grade students into that vision. With this thought in mind, I thought that after having the students listen to Dr. King's speech I would have the students write their own dreams for their world and then record those dreams. After recording these dreams, I would like to create an audio file of the children's dreams streamed together so that the voice of Dr. King would be in the background while having the students dreams in the foreground. I think that this would be a meaningful project in that it would illustrate the vision of Dr. King while flashing forward forty years to see how life is the hopes have either become realized or where things need to go still.
If you are reading this and you know how or where I can go to attempt this project please let me know. Your insight is greatly appreciated!
