The teacher summarizes the previous lesson
Last meeting we talked about the meaning of active and passive voice. Active
voice: is the subject of a sentence is followed by the verb and then the object
of the verb. While, Passive voice it is the object of the verb is followed by the
verb. Both the active and the passive voice are useful for language
construction. However, writers often overuse the passive voice.
Today we will learn new things. I hope you will enjoy it. We need to plan for
idea that can fix the problem by using our goals with the
Essential question and plan to our problem. Essential question: Why do we
need to learn passive and active voice in our grammar for language
constructions.
Goals for the problems:

voice in the right situation. Choose the right verb passive or active voice.

a. Understand what is active voice

To learn more about this topic we have 10 minutes to discuss or discover.
3. B. Motivation or activating prior knowledge
Are you prepared? Before doing that let us virtual meet. Here is a google meet
code – cjh-thv-dcj for
You to join. I will give the context and you choose an answer.
1. Passive voice
Five hamburgers must have been eaten by the man.
The letter was mailed by Marilyn.
2. Active voice
The man must have eaten five hamburgers.
Marilyn mailed the letter.
Colorful parrots live in the rainforest.
After the virtual meeting, I will ask the students to identify verbs in a variety of
context based on the example statements mentioned in the google meet.
C. (Activity/acquiring new knowledge)
Based on the previous activity, you have understood the meaning and used of
passive and active voice attitudes, but let me add and confirm to analyze of
verb construction of the context.
1. Passive voice
a. Five hamburgers must have been eaten by the man.
Hamburgers (subject) are being eaten (verb)
b. The letter was mailed by Marilyn.
The letter (subject) was being mailed (verb)
Because the subject is being “acted upon” (or is passive), such sentences are
said to be in the passive voice.
4. 2.Active voice
a. The man must have eaten five hamburgers.
The man (subject) is doing the eating (verb).
b. Marilyn mailed the letter.
Marilyn (subject) is doing the mailing (verb).
c. Colorful parrots live in the rainforest.
Parrots (subject) are doing the living (verb)
It is active voice because the subject does or “ acts upon” the verb in such
sentences, the sentences are said to be in that active voice.
Now, to check your understanding, open your google docs account and draw
conclusions about how to match active and passive voice to their writing
situation. Two context must describe in a passive voice and two context in an
active voice. Then tell what the context meant: Passiveice. Make sure you give
one example for each.
1. Passive voice
a. The ballots have been counted.
b. Sometimes our efforts are not fully appreciated.
2. Active Voice
a. At each concert the soprano sang at least one tune from a well-known opera.
b. Asbestos Abatement teams will remove large chunks of asbestos-laden
material from the hallways on the second and third floors.
To enhance your understanding, ask a volunteer to share

situation.
2. Ask the following:
a. What is the verb in the context?
5. b. Which context is a passive ?
c. What context draws appreciate for the writing?
D. Application
Work by pair, Identify and analyze the passive and active voice in the context.
(provide basis).
Then, decide which is worth emulating/following? Present your reasons.
E. Generalization
What are passive voice, active voice in the context attitudes, and values?
Active voice: the subject is “doing” the verb
The man must have eaten five hamburgers.
The man (subject) is doing the eating (verb).
Passive voice: “to be” verb, the subject is acted upon, “by” prepositional phrase
with an object that could be the subject
Five hamburgers must have been eaten by the man.
Hamburgers (subject) are being eaten (verb)
