Welcome back to Dancoland. If you missed part one last week, read that first. Teacher: Ok, let’s examine some of those things you told me about your village. I’d love to see what assumptions are behind them. Student: Okay, so like I said. When I look at all of these building blocks of what I know - how fast we walk, how we farm our food, and how big our village is - I see some pretty clear cause-and-effect relationships. A) this is how fast we walk, leads to B) how far out we can reach each day, leads to C) how large a harvest we can collect, leads to D) how large a village we can support. If it gets any bigger, we go hungry. Pretty clear to me.
