alice-teacher can you combine 2 different worlds into one?

[Mr. Matthews]

I have a student that wants to have a shipwreck(water world) and have the survivors transported to a desert (dirt world)?

Prem, 
   
The definition I use for a variable is: 
            A storage area used in a computer program that contains a value. 
   
I have attached my lecture notes that I use when I introduce variables in Alice.  I use the Dann, Cooper, Pausch textbook but I introduce variables earlier than is shown in that book.  I start using variables in Chapter 3 with functions
 and add it as a 5th piece of program code.
