Structuring the Individual Project Days

First of all, a few words about the composition of the group: The students came together from different grade levels in the computer workshop and worked daily, except for Wednesdays, for two to three hours on the project (ten hours per week in total).
Every hour began with their journal. On one hand, it was a reminder of the project, and on the other hand it served as constant practice in order to routinize working with the camera and the computer. On each project day, the students shot documentary photos with a digital camera for the journal. They alternately photographed each other while they worked. Each student sought an appropriate photo from the previous day and printed it out. This photo then went into the journal. Furthermore, next to the date, a brief sentence with a description of the previous day was written. Thus, in addition to the project goals, reading and writing were also promoted.
After twenty-eight days, each of the students now possessed a comprehensive documentation of his/her work, which grew during the course of the project.
