1.2 Drill
Sentence Scramble!
The teacher will divide the class into 5 groups and give each group an envelope
or bag with one set of word strips. Instruct the groups to work together to
arrange the strips into a correct sentence. Once the groups have arranged their
sentences, ask a representative from each group to read their sentence aloud.

A bird built a nest on the tree.
The students played soccer at the park.
She found a beautiful shell on the beach.
The artist painted a vibrant picture.
1.3 Motivation
Carry out an action!
Stand in front of your class. Drop a pen on the floor. Ask your students to tell
you what has just happened and ask them to begin the sentence with your
name. Someone should be able to say: “Ms. Rodriguez dropped a pen on the
floor.” Write this sentence on the board. Ask students to identify the subject
and the verb in this sentence; they should say the subject is “Ms. Rodriguez”
and that the verb is “dropped”.
Repeat the action - Introduce the passive voice
Drop your pen on the floor one more time. Tell your students that you’ll tell
them what has just happened, but this time your sentence will begin with, “The
pen…” Go to the board and write, “The pen was dropped on the floor.” Ask your
students to identify the subject; they should say it is the “pen”. Ask them to
identify the verb; they should say it is “was dropped”.
A. Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions to the students:
1. What are the subjects and verbs in each sentence?
2. What differences do you notice in the structure and focus of the two
sentences?
3. How can identifying the subject and verb help you understand the
construction of a sentence?

3. 1. Abstraction
Voice - is the quality of verb that shows whether the subject is the doer or
receiver of the action.
Type of Voice of the Verb;
Active voice- is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the doer of
the action.
Example: The boy kicked the ball.
S V O
In this sentence, the subject is The boy who does the action kicked since the
subject is the doer of the action and the verb kicked has a direct object, we
can say that the verb is in the active.
More examples :
A student wrote the winning essay.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the.
The Chef prepared a delicious meal.
Passive Voice - the subjects becomes the receiver instead of being the doer of
the action.
 the subject of the sentence receives the action.
Example: The ball was kicked by the boy.
S V DO
More examples: The winning essay was written by a student.
The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.
A delicious meal was prepared by the chef.
2. Application
Sentence Switcheroo!
The teacher will divide the class into 10 groups. Give each group a set of
sentence cards. Instruct each group to take turns picking a card and reading
the sentence aloud. The group must then rewrite the sentence in the opposite
voice (active to passive or passive to active).
