About the Project
The picture above is from The American Dream 2.0 Project that I worked on throughout the first semester of my Junior Year in Joanne's (World History) and Mike's (Music) class. This project is based on the concept of the American Dream, how people saw the American Dream at their coming of age (around 18 to 20 years old) and what their definition of the American Dream means today in the present. The first thing we did for our project was to get into groups within the decade ages (50's, 60's 70's 80's 90's & 2000's), pick someone in our lives that is from one of those decades (for example, mine was the 70's and I chose my grandma), and interview them asking them a series of questions that revolve around their life from the beginning up until now about the American Dream. Once that was done, we edited each piece we did with drafts upon drafts until it was nearly perfect and combine each piece together creating a chapter on that decade (along with doing background research on that decade to include in the essay). We worked on the editing for a few weeks until we combined our papers with the other class (making it one team) and putting it all together to make a book. We all were assigned jobs based off that, but that wasn't the end even though the book was finally finished.
Next was setting up exhibition in The New American Museum; getting a set of jobs to do and helping out if it's needed for other classmates. We set up the stencils we made for music as seen above with the backdrop picture telling a story about the interview we did with the person we interviewed. After setting up exhibition we presented what we learned to the people that visited the exhibition.
