Each of those involved in the project are invited to respond in a variety of ways. Andy creates a iPhoto digital photo album, Henry puts together all the documentary photographs that have been taken to tell the story about how the work was made, looking at the bigger picture. Each of the students are encouraged to document in the journals, drawings, stories, a play, role play and music. Some of the students show outstanding ability in reportage. It is all about the art of journaling, from digital, persoanl and traditional forms of storytelling between the pages of a book to a virtual blog - an ideal space to write 'freehand', to celebrate the spirit of individual involvement, without worry about getting things right. I tell the lads noone can tell you what to put in your very own journal. "Who's written about the french word for rabbit?" is asked, and "who is reading our blog from a Blackberry?" Well, I say, the blog is offering people a chance to go on the journey as well, it is an exciting collective digital journal...who knows where it will lead? It is planned to publish this blog and the books to have something in the hand to show others and enjoy.
