The skill of looking at a task and tending to think of it in terms of its sub-tasks, which I think is a form of reductionism, is one I am working on.
A while back, I thought up a short children's story I thought was good, but stumbled on translating the plot into words. Not everyone has to be able to complete every step for the task to be possible.
Here is a story for older children by Eliezer.
Yeah, I like that story. Didn't realise he'd pitched it at older kids. Of course older kids can read adult stuff just fine anyways :)
I'm more interested in what we can pitch at younger kids.
I was thinking aesops-fable-wise, to at least provide a kind of environment of thinking/rationality/curiosity and all that good stuff...
I'll keep thinking about it myself, but I'd love to hear from anybody else that actually has skill/experience.
EG I'm sure we have teachers and/or psychologists in the audience somewhere who can weigh in on this ?
Or even just people that have got through all the sequences (or wrote them... :) ) who can point out some the most fundamental points in a list... ?
