Young learners really struggle with multi-meaning words. Using Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, students will become familiar with 'dream' as the concept of 'dreaming' in the sense of a want rather than just something they do when they sleep. Included in this lesson is a video link, printable cut-outs for an art project, and a writing prompt.
