How It Works
First, the student picks a broad subject area that interests them, for example, Forestry. The student decides on a thesis related to the subject and writes a paper on it (How clear-cut logging affects salmon spawning in the Fraser River). The student then does a project related to his or her thesis (logging a family forest in a responsible manner and milling the lumber for a local carpenter). The process of writing the paper and doing the project is kept track of in a portfolio. At the end of the school year the student presents what he or she has learned and done to a panel of judges, who evaluate the student on the presentation.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.”
—Bible: New Testament, Galatians 2:15-16.
