Procedure (34-44 minutes)
Teacher will show two quotes and asks students to guess the person. Then the teacher draws students attention into the sentences and asks the students to find similarities in grammar in the sentences.
When the students mention "passive", the teacher gives them a gap-filling HO and asks Ss to do it alone. Ss check in pairs. Teacher writes correct answers on the board.
The teacher gives a HO and asks students to work in pairs and choose the best answer for each sentence. Then the teacher gets feedback and asks some CCQs. "Which one is more important action or doer? Do we always know by whom the action is done? Do we use the past form of the verbs?" Then the teacher asks students to work in pairs and write the passive forms. For feedback, the teacher writes the forms on the board.
The teacher will give the HO and asks students to rewrite the sentences in passive form. T gets feedback .( T asks Ss to write the answers on the board.)
T will give the HO to Ss and asks them to choose 3 or 4 questions and discuss in pairs. Then with new partners (maybe in groups of three), Ss should talk about their previous partners' ideas.
