Usted Commands and recommendations D.I.
Spanish 3
Goals for the students--The students should be able to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Write recommendations in the usted form of the verb.
Give positive commands in the usted form of the verb.
Give negative commands in the usted form of the verb.
Correctly write recommendations with pronouns.
Correctly write both positive and negative usted commands with pronouns.
On day 1, all students received the formative evaluation on which they had to write
10 commands in the usted form and 10 recommendations in the usted form. At least
some of the commands had to be negative.
Based on how well they did on this formative assessment, students were placed in one of
three groups--struggling with commands, struggling with recommendations, and not
struggling with either commands or recommendations. Those students who struggled
with both commands and recommendations got the work for both groups.
Those struggling with commands got the explanation of how to make commands and the
command pages. Those struggling with recommendations got the explanation of
recommendations and commands and the recommendation pages. Those who were not
struggling with either concept got the two pages where they had to write their own
sentences and give commands/recommendations to someone, then write a recipe using
positive and negative commands, recommendations, and pronouns.

Reinforcement for recommendations
________________
Me llamo
When writing recommendations, you need a recommendation part and the verb part.
Remember that "usted" recommendations use "le" as the pronoun.
Examples:
le recomiendo que
le sugiero que
le aconsejo a que
Many recommendations do not use "le" because they don't need a pronoun.
Examples:
es mejor que
es posible que
es necesario que
es importante que
Either way, the "usted" form is the same.
Practice writing the following sentences as recommendations. Use a differeent
recommendation word each time.

Read the following information about the dietary patterns of the family you are trying to
help.
Carmen es la hermanastra de Xuxu. A Carmen no le gustan las frutas ni las verduras.
Por eso, casi nunca las come, con la excepción de las papas. Necesita comer papas todos
los días en alguna forma u otra. Sin embargo, sí bebe el jugo de varias frutas. A ella le
encanta la carne, pero rechaza por completo toda la comida sabrosa. Le gusta que todo
sea soso y sin sabor, ni sal, ni hierbas. Además, no quiere comer nada en combinación.
Quiere que todos los alimentos se sirvan separados. Para ella, un plato complicado sería
una hamburguesa con mostaza. Los productos lácteos y los granos son aceptables, pero
en cantidades limitadas. A causa de la dieta y la falta de ejercicio, ella es bien gorda.
Pesa 150 libras.
Xuxu es la hermanastra de Carmen. Xuxu ama las frutas y las verduras, y las come
frecuentemente. Come la carne en moderación. En realidad, le gusta cualquier tipo de
alimento--los granos, los productos lácteos, y especialmente los dulces. Lo que no puede
aceptar es la comida sosa. La rechaza por completo. Si algo no tiene un sabor fuerte, no
lo come. Su lema (motto) es <<Cuanto más sabor, mejor.>> En particular, le gustan los
chiles más picantes. Pero también ama la Coca Cola, los Cheetos, y la salsa de tomate, y
los toma en cantidades enormes.
Rafael es el padre de Xuxu y el padrastro de Carmen. A Rafael le gusta comer la
comida del MedioOeste--el biftec, las papas, y el pan. Puede tolerar varias verduras, tales
como las judías verdes, los pepinos, y el maíz. Y le gustan las frutas tales como las peras
y las manzanas. Pero Rafael tiene problemas médicos graves. No debe comer mucha
grasa, ni mucha proteína, ni muchos productos lácteos, ni muchas frutas acídicas y agrias.
Además, tiene que limitar la cantidad de agua que bebe y evitar la sal por completo.
Prefiere algo sabroso, pero le parece que tiene que evitar todos los alimentos con buen
sabor.

Sample
Xuxu, your diet seems to be well-balanced and healthful. However, the consumption of
items such as Cheetos and Coca-Cola destroys this balance. You should avoid all foods
that are high in fact and low in nutritional value such as potato chips and sweets. You
can eat these items without realizing the damage done to your body. It is probable that
you are overweight due to eating so many empty calories. I recommend that you avoid
all sugary and fat-laden foods. It is necessary that you fulfill your cravings with healthy
food. I want you to select more fruits and to find healthy foods to satisfy you.
Carmen, your diet seems to be completely unhealthy. Very little of what you eat has
nutritional value; for example, potatoes are a complete waste of calories. It is necessary
that you eliminate potatoes completely. The impact of this diet on your brain and body
has to be negative. I understand that your food has to be tasteless and textureless, but you
should ensure that you acheive balanced nutrition. I demand that you take vitamins. It is
possible that you could become ill without better nutrition. Maybe you should vary the
meats that you eat because too much beef can cause serious problems with your heart. At
a minimum, make sure you don’t fry your potatoes. It is bad that you lack exercise. It
would be better if you increased your exercise--not a large amount. Simply walking
more can burn calories and allow you to lose weight.
Section two--medical recommendations and commands--Read the problems the following
people are suffering from. Give one recommendation or command to help them (usted
