The document discusses a quote from the class: "You do not need to understand everything that you read in this class in order to achieve the curricular goals of this course." The teacher asks the class what the significance of this quote is, but there is silence. The curricular goals are then listed as improving as a reader, writer, and understanding British literature. The teacher explains that fears can hinder success, but that they can help students overcome fears. Students are challenged to explain the significance of the quote by working together, taking risks, exploring ideas, and consulting resources like textbooks and each other.
