But wait there is more! We still have to use the D.O.P with Commands.

'Put it'  I wrote different examples on the board of what 'it' could mean.  Or if you made 'it' plural.

The Direct Object Pronoun can go at the end of a 'Tú' affirmative command.

Here I was putting 'lo' for a singular masculine object.  El coche= the car.  (Put it here).

I also went over how students can put the Direct Object Pronoun behind an infinitive, since the verb is not conjugated.

To watch me.

 Sorry, I should have cropped off the Direct Object Pronouns on either side of the dry erase board.

To watch you.

Present Progressive WITH Direct Object Pronouns for Spanish 2....Multi-Sensory Learning

NOW LETS PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER!

Present Progressive ('ING' VERB FORM) with the Direct Object Pronoun.

1.  Find your subject.
2.  Pick your 'Estar' card to match the subject.
3.  Write your Present Progressive verb on your 'dry erase board'.
4.  Pick your Direct Object Pronoun.  (Who/What is receiving the action)
5a.  Put Direct Object Pronoun at the end of the Present Progressive verb.
6a.  Count syllables to add accent.
5b.  Put the Direct Object Pronoun in front of the 'Estar' verb.

We had a blast!  I loved this lesson!

'I am watching her'.  ESTOY=I am, MIRANDO= watching, LA= her/it.

'She is watching me'.  ELLA= she, ESTÁ= is, MIRANDO= watching, ME=me.

Notice how I magnetized my sets so I could put them on the board for my visual learners.  Kids could also come up to the board and manipulate the cards, if you only wanted to make one set.

Me showing how to count the syllables so kids know where to put the accent.

Here the Direct Object Pronoun is put in front of the verb 'Estar' so there is no need for an accent.

 My example on the board means the same as the picture above; it is just written different.  Also, I've written down an example of what 'las' could represent.  (Las palabras= the words)  Está= he/she is, dieciendo= saying, las= them. 

My example on the board of the Direct Object Pronoun going at the end of the 'verb'.  I need an accent.  

I am saying it.

He/She is writing it.

They are learning me......High school kids coming up with their own sentences.

Notice on the board I have the 'Preterite Past' color coordinated, the 'Estar' color coordinated, and the 'Direct Object Pronouns' also color coordinated.  Then on the right I have the Rapid Word Chart so the kids can visually see the irregular 'ing' verbs.  Now this might be too much stimuli for some students.  But having the consistency with the colors really helps the learning different student.

When I was done a student said, "Señorita, when I get a job I hope I am just as happy as you are!"

For another class, a student all week was asking if he could use pen and paper to learn all these lessons.  I asked him to try my way first since it was kinesthetic (and I knew he was a kinesthetic learner).  After, I was done with all the lessons, I told him he could now practice on paper and write the examples down.  After ten minutes he was so frustrated with his mistakes that he asked if he could go back to manipulating the cards.

Present Progressive for Spanish 2....Multi-Sensory Learning

Once again I used my Spanish Verb cards.  The 'ing' verb form is printed on the back.

I made all the kids the conjugation of 'Estar' in the different colors.  (I am opening)

Made a Rapid Word Chart of the irregular 'ing' Spanish verbs.  ( I am reading.)

Ice cream cone cupcakes! Easy and Adorable!

Baked them like cupcakes...except I used a cone instead of a liner.

Piped canned frosting to look like ice cream.

Drizzled sprinkles on top!

Hard to eat....you want to lick the icing off like ice cream.  The cone was a bit hard/chewy.  And it was very hard to transport.  But so adorable!

Multi-Sensory Learning for Spanish- Direct Object Pronouns

'I visit you.'  Notice Direct Object Pronouns are color coordinated.

Spanish verb cards I bought this summer....LOVE them!

'I produce it.'  Verbs are easily erased on the dry erase boards.

'I speak it.'  Direct Object Pronouns are easily changed. (LA= it, HABLO= I speak)

You can verbally question kids so they pick up the correct Direct Object Pronouns.

'We speak it'.  LO= it, HABLAMOS= we speak.

And the famous saying....'You I want'.

I made a template of Direct Object Pronouns from a word document.  Then I printed out all the Direct Object Pronouns once I liked the size of the lettering and font.  Next, I used the copy machine to print the pages onto construction paper.  After I cut out each Direct Object Pronoun, I laminated and cut them out again.  I made 16 sets in case the laminator machine messed up any of the cards.

Spanish club went to dinner

They served black beans instead of chips.

Chicken tacos.

The Nachos.

Quesadillas.

Brisket Tacos.

So, I got there early in order to ask the waitress if she could speak Spanish to my group.  It was adorable having my students speak Spanish to her.  We had practiced what we were going to say earlier that day, so they were prepared.  Our waitress was very patient and understanding.  And I loved that everyone was speaking Spanish around our table.
We all loved our food, had some great laughs, and everyone made it home safe!  ¡Gracias a Dios!
