Question or Problem for Students:
Your new neighbors have offered you an opportunity to earn a bit of
money. They would like you to babysit their two-year-old visiting nephew next
Friday night. The only hitch is that their nephew only speaks and understands
Spanish. Fortunately, you have taken this Spanish class and have a few days
to prepare for the experience.
With your partner, you need to compile a list of words and phrases
likely to be needed to care for this Spanish-speaking two-year-old for an
evening. Consider all the activities involved in a child’s evening, and try
to anticipate potential problems. Your list of words and phrases should be
neatly typed, so that it can be a resource for other babysitters in your
situation, as well.
You will use your phrases in a one- to two-minute role-playing
activity. In your skit, one of you will be the child, and the other will play
the babysitter. Plan your situation ahead of time; Will you depict dinner
time, play time, or bed time? Try to
work in at least ten phrases. Both your phrase list and your skit will be
graded.
