Procedure Outline<br />
I. (8:30-8:35) Ask the class the difference between active and passive<br />
voice verbs.<br />
A. How can they be identified quickly?
Katelynn Sutton<br />
B. Which one normally has a direct object?<br />
C. Both are usually transitive verbs<br />
II.<br />
(8:35-8:40) Explain the difference between the two<br />
A. <strong>Active</strong>: subject is doing the action / subject is something<br />
1. More direct / emphasizes doer of the action<br />
2. More effective and desirable<br />
B. <strong>Passive</strong>: action is being done to subject / “be” verb plus<br />
second principal part<br />
1. Can be useful for special emphasis<br />
2. More effective and desirable<br />
III.<br />
(8:40-8:55) Revising active/passive sentences<br />
A. To switch from active to passive:<br />
1. Make DO the subject<br />
2. Add “be” verb<br />
3. Tack subject to the end if necessary<br />
B. To switch from active to passive:<br />
1. Take subject from prep. phrase or supply subject<br />
2. Make subject DO<br />
3. Take out “be” verb<br />
4. Make TrV active in form<br />
C. When the active sentence has an IO, the DO becomes a<br />
retained object in the passive sentence. (It could also be put<br />
into a prep. phrase to avoid confusion.)<br />
D. When the active voice sentence has an OC, the OC becomes a<br />
subjective complement in the passive sentence.

Key Questions<br />
A. Identify passive voice verbs, retained objects, and subjective<br />
complements in the paragraph<br />
B. Rewrite sentences containing any of the above in active voice<br />
C. Check answers together as a class<br />
(1) What sentences show the subject doing the action?<br />
(2) In which sentences is the action being done to the subject?<br />
(3) Which type of voice is more powerful in your writing?<br />
(4) Which type of voice is more useful for special emphasis in your writing?<br />
Activities<br />
‣ Lecture on active and passive voice and revising each type<br />
‣ Practice exercises<br />
‣ Practice worksheet<br />
Summary or Conclusion<br />
Review active and passive voice. Remind students that active voice is much<br />
more effective in writing. <strong>Passive</strong> voice should be used for special emphasis.
