New Citizen Board

At the beginning of the semester I was thinking of doing a project in Boston Massachusetts. The project would have to do with Faneuil Hall. Faneuil Hall is a building that has been one of the major attractions in Boston for a while. Faniuel Hall was used as a meeting space back in the 1800’s but now it has a new purpose. It is a place where people can enter the ground floor and walk around where there are small merchant’s shops and historical information. Upstairs is used as a ceremony place when immigrants become citizens. I thought that it would be interesting if I could create something that showed many people what the process of becoming an American was. Many people just walk by this building and few know what goes on in the other part of the building. So I thought that by creating a board that had a story about an immigrant and their path to becoming an American would allow people to learn about this process as well as what else happens in Faneuil Hall.
