Make a Dream Catcher Instruction Sheet
Writing Activity Sheet
STANDARD:
Students will establish viable goals, including attending and graduating from college.
DESCRIPTOR:
Students will analyze the importance of setting goals.
ACTIVITIES:
1. You may want to play the oldie but goodie, “The Power of the Dream” by Celine
Dion, or some more recent songs that has dreaming as its theme such as “I Believe I
Can Fly” by R. Kelly, “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, “Great Expectations” by Diggy
Simmons, or “Roar” by Katy Perry. Ask the students to talk about dreams or goals for
the future. Ask them what the difference is between a dream and a goal. Do they
agree with the statement, “A goal is a dream with a deadline”?
2. Read aloud to the students “Everybody Has a Dream.” Do dreams always come
easy? What barriers did the people in the story overcome to realize their dreams?
What do we mean when we say, “You’ve got to have a dream?” If your students
have already been through this discussion in the ProTeam course, you can simply
refresh their thinking.
