That spring, not only did all of my students write a 10-page research paper but their papers were very good. Years later, I still have students contact me and tell me how they continue to use that process in college and graduate school. By demystifying the process for students, I was able to help them tackle something they thought was impossible and develop systems not just for the work in my class, but for the work they faced in other courses and other contexts.

In the movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and her friends were terrified of the wizard until Toto pulled back the cloth and revealed that the wizard was nothing more than a machine operated by a tiny little man. Suddenly, the wizard didn't seem so scary. In the same way, many students are intimidated by high standards because they haven't a clue how they will ever reach them. It is our job to pull back the veil and show them the steps to reaching the standard. When we do, our high standards suddenly seem achievable.
