Collage???

Question

I want to make a collage and my topic is immigration. What things should i use and should i make it on a poster board, etc?

Answer 1

hmm, I might include a bit re: Ellis Island, but I would definitely focus on more recent elements, lol! I mean, immigration is still an important topic today!
Can you find online copies of immigration applications, tests, etc.? Maybe you could include pieces of that, or lines/questions that strike you as especially interesting?
Are there quotes or stories of immigrants you can find/use?
How about randomly pasting names of famous immigrants?
Of course you'll need more graphics than text, so...hm....
I'm sure if you serch immigration in google images, you'll find recent stuff. Here's one, for example:

http://www.hoboes.com/Mimsy/library/graphics/prohibido.jpg
http://www.canadian-immigration.org/images/immigrate.jpg

Although I'm not sure what the slant/point of your collage is--a celebration of immigration? Or an examination of all the complexities/controversies and problems surrounding immigration? The purpose of the collage would obviously affect what you choose to include.

Have fun with it and good luck!

Answer 2

Try to find different varieties of people on the ships coming to Ellis Island, or people in different communities of New York back then. Also put descriptions under the pictures, describing what's going on. Poster board would be great!

Answer 3

I saw this really cool collection of photos of immigrants to the united states, with a map pointing to where they came from in Mexico. It would be cool if you could connect where these people are coming from, to what the people did back in their old countries.
