Collecting memory of old classroom_idea about digital storytelling

I would like to instigate a project about collecting people's memories of high school classroom in my hometown. For students in China, especially in some small cities, the time in high school is the hardest, because they have to do their best to get a chance to go to University. My hometown is a small city, which means the score for getting access to University is much higher, and the competition is fiercer.

During those three years study, more than fifty students spent most their time in one classroom on lessons, doing exercises, and revising for endless exams. It is hard to image how so many people sit in such a crowd space to study from 7am to 9pm everyday when I look back. People who ever studied there have got unforgettable stories in the same classroom, maybe about a picture being drawn on the desk, a girl sitting next, a teacher’s old fashioned glasses, a tough exam or a broken window.

It is interesting to collect memories of that period from people who spend three years in one classroom together. If everyone takes their old pictures out and contributes a story happening in that classroom, the classroom will be a friendly gallery full of fun, not only gray exams.
