This makes all sorts of sense.

This past Friday in my period 4 environmental science class I decided on an activity where, with a partner, students are to develop a parcel of land adjacent to a river. The idea is to see what types of pollutants end up in the water and how it will affect the environment as a whole.

The following is an exchange between a member of one group and myself regarding the agricultural parcel he was developing.

Me: “Where is your farm house?”
Student: “They live in a castle.”

Me: “Ok. Well…I think this lollypop factory has been improperly zoned and why is there a goomba (think Super Mario Brothers) outside of it?”
Student: “He’s guarding the lollypop factory from the goat.”

Me: “Oh. Of course.”

Seems reasonable enough.
