Before the lesson starts, we will have covered the following basic parts of speech: a) subject b) conjugated verb c) infinitive verb d) present participles e) positive commands f) negative commands e) direct objects The lesson will then be given on what an INDIRECT OBJECT is and how to locate it in the sentence. Then, we will discuss what the indirect object pronouns are and where they will need to be placed in the sentence. Once the students have identified indirect objects in some sentences and have chosen the correct pronoun to replace them, the rules of placement will be discussed. They are: (a) before the conjugated verb (b) attached to the end of an infinitive (c) attached to the end of a present participle (d) attached to the end of a positive command (e) before a negative command and after the NO The students will view a Power Point presentation as a reference for notes on the subject. Worksheets with sample sentences will be used to label and rewrite sentences. Students will learn what to do if they have both and indirect and direct object in the same sentence in another lesson.
Students reinforce and further their knowledge of other disciplines through the foreign language. Students understand and interpret written and spoken language on a variety of topics. Students present information, concepts, and ideas to an audience of listeners or readers on a variety of topics. Students demonstrate understanding of the nature of language through comparisons of the language studied and their own.
Students must be able to identify a subject and a verb in any given sentence before beginning this lesson. The types of verbs to be identified are: (a) conjugated verbs (b) infinitive verbs (c) present participles (d) positive commands (e) negative commands
The lesson will begin with the discussion of what an indirect object is and how to find it in an English sentence. Give the following example and ask the students to locate the indirect object in the sentence. I gave the letter to Maria. In order to find the indirect object in the sentence, the students must ask To whom or For whom? The indirect object in the above sentence is to Maria. Ask the students what the indirect object pronoun would be in English. Hopefully, they will tell you "to HER". Then, discuss the other indirect object pronoun options in English first. Once you have done this, the Power Point presentaiton will help you explain how to do the same in Spanish. The website below will also be helpful in another explanation of indirect objects. It will also offer the opportunity to do some examples.
A test and/or quiz can be used as one method of assessment.The student activity outlined in the lesson on direct object pronouns can also be used for this lesson.
Students can participate in the same activity that they did in the direct object pronoun section. There is a worksheet provided for students to practice with as well.
A computer that has Power Point installed is necessary as well as an LCD panel or other projection device so that the students can see the notes.
