The document summarizes a lesson plan for a secondary level English class. The lesson focuses on revising the present perfect tense and introducing the present passive voice. The lesson plan includes: 1. Warm-up activities like a movie genre jeopardy game to review movies and genres. 2. Presenting examples of current and past movies to distinguish between present and past passive voice. Sentences with "is" indicate present passive while sentences with "was" are past passive. 3. Putting students into groups to practice changing sentences between active and passive voice in both present and past tenses. 4. Showing a video song about passive voice to reinforce the grammar point in a fun way

Teaching Approach: Communicative approach
Integration of Skills: in this lesson plan, students’ listening and speaking skills are integrated
through students’ interaction with the teacher and among them. Also, a video about passive
voice (song) will be used to expose students’ to the L2. As regards reading and writing skills,
students have to read a reading activity related with the topic and they have to complete taking
it into account. At the same time different sub – skills are developed through the activities,
such as relate, complete, associate, make, in which students are actively involved. Moreover,
students will develop their critical thinking.
Pedagogical Use of ICT in class: In this lesson, a video will be used to support the
presentation and exposure of the students to the teaching point. Activities organised through
the combination of audio and video (audio-visual material) enhances language learning and
acquisition.
Materials: Afiche, Cards, images, board, audio CD, and flashcards related with the topic. Also
a computer, audio player will be necessary to watch the video. Pupil’s book (Heading
Forward – Pre Intermediate – Richmond) page 90. Dice.

Seating arrangement: the students will be sitting as usual to work with their partner. I will
check that all the students could watch the video to complete the activity and be comfortable
to work in pairs.
Cooperative work: learners will work with their partners to discuss the video, exchange ideas
and retrieve previous knowledge. A socio – constructivist perspective is based on the premise
that human beings learn through building their knowledge and experiencing while
communicating and cooperating with others.
Possible problems / difficulties and possible solutions: the activities may take longer than
expected. That is why it is necessary to check the time spent during each activity so as not to
run out of time for the production stage.
Students will surely use their mother tongue to refer to some unknown vocabulary. In this
case, I will provide them with the equivalent in English.
Potential problems students may have with the language: if students do not remember new
items, I will use different techniques to help them such as repeating, giving them the first part
of the sentences so they can complete it and giving students a positive feedback to encourage
them to participate.
The activities proposed will also help them consolidate concepts as well as help them correct
some mispronunciation difficulties as regards the movies’ name or genres. I will explain as
many times as they need the new topic (passive voice).
Assessment: what will be assessed and how: pronunciation, identification of new items and
understanding of questions will be assessed by asking questions individually for example; can
you tell me an example? What did you watch? What did you like?...etc and observing
students’ development during different instances of the class. Echoing will be a method for
checking listening comprehension. Through this technique I will avoid giving students the
correct answer and I will encourage them to correct themselves.
Routine (5’)
Hello everybody! How are you today?
Students will answer.
Transition: ‘Ok, today we are going to work hard! But now it’s time to play! Do you want play a
game? Great! Do you know Jeopardy game?
Warm – up (25’)
The teacher will stick different cards turning down with four categories: (the teacher will mix the
passive and the movies’ genre).
Active to Passive - True or False - Correct or Incorrect – Active or Passive
So, she will put the students in groups about 5/6 people. Every group will have a number: 1, 2, 3…so
she will start with group number 1 and she will show (previously she has sticked all the cards in every
category) the options, every option has points. Thus, they will have to choose one and answer

correctly, if it is ok they will win the points that correspond, if it wrong the group who answer it
correctly, is the next and they will win the points.
The game looks like this:
The examples in every stage will be:
Active to passive:
Amy mails a letter. // they will have to answer: The letter is mailed by Amy.
True or false:
Timothy kicked a ball. This is in Passive voice. True or false?
Correct or incorrect:
The film that makes listen and dance is a musical.
Active or Passive:
We are invited by our neighbours to attend to their party.
The group that will havehas more points will win the game.
Game adapted from: https://jeopardylabs.com/play/active-passive-voice-jeopardy
Transition: ‘Excellent jobs kids! Now let’s keep working hard! Let’s see if you know those movies…
Presentation (15’)
Comentado [A1]: Language!!!!
Comentado [A2]: I wonder if you could adapt the
sentences so that they match the context.

The teacher will stick different images about actual and past movies such as:

6. Gieser Leticia – TPD – Secondary Level

The teacher will ask to students different questions such as did you watch this movie? Do you know
the protagonists? Did you like it? What was it about? What genre is it? And finally she will ask if
those movies are actual or not? Did you any other movie with those actors? Which one? Here the
students will realize that some movies are new and some others not.
So here the teacher will divide the board in two: PRESENT and PAST, and she will invite to some
students to pass and stick the images where correspond.
Transition: ‘well we identified the movies! But we have to go on working! Ready’?
Procedure (30’)
The teacher with the board divided in past and present, she will write two sentences below every
picture, such as:
PRESENT: the “Mummy” movie is played by Tom Cruise.
PAST: the “Rocky” movie was played by Sylvester Stallone.
Here, the teacher will ask to students ‘what difference can you see’? (probably they will say that one is
past and other is present), and here she will ask ‘how did they realize it?’ (in case they don’t
understand the difference, the teacher will explain it).
Comentado [A3]: Try not to overuse but.
Comentado [A4]: Will you write “Past” and “Present” on
the board?

When the students will realize that one has ‘IS’ and other has ‘WAS’ the teacher will explained it with
other examples:
- Mission impossible and Top Gun were played by Tom Cruise. (she will explain them that as
there are two movies, they have to use were)
- Avengers movie is created by Marvel.
- Robert Downey JR. was played in Sherlock Holmes.
Here the teacher will explain that a sentence in Passive Voice could be present (with is/are) or it could
be past (was/were). And it is really important that they could pay attention to the person, if it is Plural
or Singular to use the correct verb.
Then the teacher will put the students in small groups (about 5/6 people in each) and she will give
different sentences (they could be present and past sentences) so, here the students have to pass the
passive sentences to active and if the sentence is active, they will have to pass to Passive. When they
finish they will have to write in the right place on a big ‘afiche’ poster’ that the teacher will stick on
board, with a table:
Transition: ‘Great job! Now, let’s watch a video. This is a passive song to understand and refresh a
little what we learnt during this class and the previous’ ‘I hope you like it!’

Comentado [A5]: Attention to examples. When referring
to films, most of them could be in the past.
Comentado [A6]: was
Comentado [A7]: which??

Activity 1 (20’)
Here the teacher will write the title from the reading that they will work lately:
FILMS OF THE CENTURY
And she will ask students ‘what do they think about that title?’ (She will write their ideas on the board)
Then, she will ask that open their books on page 90 from Pupil’s book. Here they have a reading, so
the teacher will ask that pay attention to the pictures, ‘do you know the movies? Actors? Actresses?’
‘Did you watch any movie? Which one?’ ‘Did you like it?’ ‘What are their genres?’
Reading:
Next, the teacher will ask to students that pay attention to the names that appear at the top of the
page, she will ask if they know any movies, what genre they are, what they think about them, etc.
The titles:

To continue with that, she will ask that read silently and try to mark all the Passives (present or past)
that they find in it. When they finish, the teacher will ask what it is about, so here they will check
together if it was right what they have written previously on board. She will invite to them to say the
passives that they could find and they will check them if it is right or not. When they finish doing that,
she will inquire ask them to complete the spaces with the names that correspond (this activity is on the
reading). They will check them with a listening.
Transition: ‘Wow! You are hard workers!’ but now it is necessary copy a little, so take your folders
and copy that with me’ (the next activity is related with the reading).
Activity 2 (15’)
The teacher will write the next activity on the board:
True or False? Correct false the sentences.

Transition: ‘we worked hard! So now let’s close this awesome class.
Closure (10’)
The teacher will show a dice and she will invite to some students to choose a number and answer the
question that appears on it using Passive Voice and Active Voice. Comentado [A8]: Which questions? Will they be related to
the core topic of the lesson?
