Main Aims

  • To provide clarification of passive voice in the context of inventions

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide accuracy speaking practice in a conversation in the context of environmental issues.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (1-2 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will ask students to name some famous inventions. Then guess which of the inventions are invented by women.

Exposure (6-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

I will show them a 6-minute video about those inventions and after that we see if they guessed them right.

Highlighting (2-3 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will write some active sentences from the the video on the board and then write the passive form of them under them. Then asked them about the part of the speech.

Clarification (7-8 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

First I will ask them if they can tell me which part we are focusing on in active sentences(the doer). Then I will explain when to use passive voice. They will be told that in passive voice, we focus on the action or the object receiving the action rather than the doer. Then I will explain the structure of the passive voice and finally, I will tell them about the negative form.

Controlled Practice (2-3 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

I will ask them to do the given task in pairs and in two minutes. The answers will be checked with the whole class after that.

Free Practice (0-0 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

I will ask students to work in pairs to write 3 sentences about environmental issues, using both the present and past passive voice. I will give them an example before they start working. The example: "Plastic waste is recycled in many countries."
