Paglin, Catherine
Northwest Education, v7 n3 p36-41 Spr 2002
An alternative school in southern Oregon that allows students to make up missing credits offers project-based thematic classes that take students outside the school. One course studied the Klamath Basin's water crisis and involved exploring the area and the perspectives of farmers, biologists, park rangers, and Native Americans. Courses culminate in student presentations to the public. (TD)
