Benjamin McFadden and his parents live in outer space with robots. This particular night his parents were going out to a dance and Benjamin’s babysitter was a robot. The robot told Benjamin it was 8pm and time for bed. Benjamin did not want to go to bed, in fact he wanted to play games and make music and eat cookies. Benjamin opened up the panel on the babysitter’s back and reprogrammed him for fun.
Benjamin McFadden is a fun book for students to writing and respond creatively. I would have the students write activities they would do if they “re-programmed” their babysitters and/or how their lives would be if they lived in outer space. This can also be connected to a science lesson about the solar system and outer space.
