The class will be started by a talk about my favorite book, which I bring it to the class to show to the students. It will be followed by asking students to tell the class about their favorite book.
I will choose some of my students sentences to write in the correct passive voice on the board to show them visually the proper use of passive
I review active voice ,then I aske some CCQs(meaning) about the passive voice: Is the focus on the doer or the object? (object).Can we use passive if we don’t know who did it?(Yes).Does a passive sentence mean the same as the active sentence?(Yes).I will elicit the structure from the students by asking them about the role of the words as well as CCQs(form):What do we put before the past participle? be (is/was/are/were).Which form of the verb do we use in passive? past participle (V3),and negative and question forms of the passive will also be taught. I will let them know about past passive and present passive and how to use by when we want to say who did the action. Students will be reminded about the past participle, and will be given the list of important V3 verbs to read and memorize. They will be informed about the correct stress of passive sentences ,which usually falls on the new subject
