I Organizational moment
Greeting the class.
Create the classroom environment and divide the class into two groups.

ІІ Warm up Play the game “Jeopardy”.

III Evocation
Show the students a picture. Then ask them a question about the picture, which elicits an active - voice response. Write down the answer on the board, and tell them that there is another way to answer the question with the passive voice.
There are two sentences. What can you tell about these two sentences?
- Where is the sentence in Active Voice and Passive Voice?
- What tenses are used in these sentences?

IV Understanding Active vs. Passive Voice
Active voice is the voice used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is performing the action or causing the action. Passive voice is the voice used when the subject is the recipient of the action. Strong writing uses active voice. Passive voice should only be used in the following instances:
- When intentionally hiding the subject of the sentence. For example, a politician might say, "Mistakes were made."
- When intentionally truing to minimize the guilt of the subject. For example, a cheating husband might respond, "Adultery was committed by me."
- When passive voice better emphasizes the main point of the passage. For example, Children were harmed by unlicensed bus drivers.

V Work in pairs Give students cards and tell them to complete the sentences in the passive voice.

VI Race Game Divide the class into two teams. Once the game is over, look at a few sentences on the board to ensure that the class understands the passive voice.
