What are the qualities of a good babysitter? was the warm-up question in preparation of reading a short story where the sitter makes questionable choices. I encouraged the students to think both as the one being cared for and the one who takes care of younger kids.
Responsible was the number one answer, along with fun and nice, but when one boy wrote brave, I had to ask. "Why does a babysitter have to be brave?"
He puffed out his chest. "They do if they want to take care of me," he explained.
