Procedure (28-40 minutes)
In this stage I will talk about a surprise birthday party I had using passive voice.
I will then ask my students about a birthday party they had. I will then ask them some questions about their birthday using passive questions.
In this stage I will write some of the sentences that my students have made in the correct form on the board to draw their attention to the TL.
I will clarify the meaning by asking some CCQs from thought experiments. One thought experiment will be regarding a stolen car where we are not aware who did the action, and for the second one it will be about burnt food. I will then elaborate that you can add "by x" if we want to mention the doer. Then I will elicit the structure of a passive sentnece for my students.
The students are going to do exercise 10c-a on page 145 in the grammar bank in 2 minutes then we will check the answers with the whole class.
The students will talk about their favorite inventions in groups of 2-3. They will talk about: 1. By whom was it invented 2. When was it invented 3. How has society changed because of it?
