The document outlines an historical photography project for students in Kawerau, New Zealand. It details that students will be divided into two teams to visit historical places in Kawerau and take contemporary photographs that recreate historical photos from the early 1900s. Students will research the historical photos in the library and at their locations. They will compare how the places have changed by presenting new and historical photos alongside written information. The goal is for students to learn how the natural and man-made environments in their community have changed over time through historical photography.

Pre-production:
o In groups, identify and research 1-4 historical photographs.
o If you can, make photocopies or scan the photographs so that you can
refer to then when creating your new images.
o Visit these locations to see if they are preserved enough to recognise in a
re-creation photograph.
o If necessary, ask for permission to photograph these locations.
o Practice framing the photo with a number of test shots.
o Determine the approximate day and time the photographs were taken.
Production:
o Scan or photograph the original photos so that you can present them
alongside your new photo and information.
Post-production:
o Include written information about the historical places.
o Whaea Jeanette will upload your information to www.onedayonearth.org
o Visit others who have completed the historical photographs project.
Compare and contrast how their historical places relate to yours.
