Community Conversations for Kids gives upper elementary and middle school students the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion of a short reading in or out of school. A teacher or facilitator introduces thought-provoking questions and encourages kids to reflect on issues raised by the reading and discuss how they impact our lives and communities.
Included in this toolkit is an excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech, "The American Dream," discussion questions, and tips for hosting a community conversation for kids. The toolkit can also be downloaded from the Community Conversations website.
