Mark,

Wonderful!  I like it.

Quick feedback:

---------------------------
...
"Do not enter that text."

There is no immediate instruction to get results.

Perhaps add transition/setup like:
"Before we show how to evaluate the expressions and print the results, 
let's talk about what you see here."

---------------------------
The expression `cityToTeam := Dictionary new` sends the message `new`

Needs better distinction between code and general text. (Color and/or 
e.g. typewriter font).
---------------------------
"We can examine the implementation of the average method. To do so, open 
a Browser."

Perhaps .."use the World Menu to Open a Browser." ?
---------------------------

Very nice intro!
