Lazy Student asks for help
Four vignettes: In the first drawing,  one person asks “Dame el periódico, por favor.” A second person answers: “Aquí lo tienes.” In the second drawing, the same person asks; “Dame las palomitas, por favor.” The giving person answers: “Aquí las tienes.” In the third vignette, the receiving person asks: “Dame el lápiz y la goma.” The giving person says: “Aquí los tienes.” Finally, the receiving person states: “Un sinónimo de frijol.” The giving person answers: “Gandul como tú.”

 

Explain in Spanish by writing one or two sentences about each vignette. Read the comic strip.

¿Qué  pasa primero?   ¿Qué pasa después?  ¿Qué pasa luego?  ¿Qué pasa finalmente?

C. Co-Construction: 

What do these pronouns mean?   Which nouns do they replace?   Can you fill in the table?   Ask the verb “What?”   The Direct object pronouns answer this question.

Ask the verb “To Whom? The Indirect object pronouns answer this question.

What is the verb?  “Da” the informal command of the verb “dar” =  to give.

To give what? To Whom?

A table of direct and indirect objects meant to be examined for translation, noun replacement, and the pronoun plus the verb.

D. Extension:

Now,   you are asking your classmate for items that are on the desk.

Give me the eraser, please.  Give me the notebook, please.  Give me the pens, please.  Give me the backpack, please. Give me the papers, please.

Then,   can your classmate answer: “I give it to you”, “I give them to you”

What does the expression “Dame” remind you of?  Do you remember the poem by Gabriela Mistral?  What does the person ask for in the poem?
