 Your classmates will be called to describe what the actors portrayed. In describing, you must
state first the name of their classmate.

For example: Ryan wrote the chalk on the board.

The actors will once again act in front using the same objects. Afterwards, you will also describe
what they did. However, you must start your sentences using the name of the objects.

For example: The chalk was used by Ryan on the board.

C. Lesson Presentation
Introduction: Most of every sentence has a "voice." This term refers to how a subject, object,
and verb interact within a sentence. Their order will determine if a sentence is in active or
passive voice. The tone and focus of your writing can change completely depending on which
construction you use.

Active vs. Passive Voice

The relationship of the subject to the verb in a sentence is called the voice. A sentence is written
in the active voice if the subject is doing the action of the verb.

Example: Mr. Reyes donated the X-ray machine.

The active voice is straightforward and clear. It focuses on the subject doing the action. A
sentence is written in the passive voice if the subject receives the action.

Example: The X-ray machine was donated by Mr. Reyes.

The passive voice is only effective if the person or thing doing the action is unspecified or
unknown. It is also effective if the receiver of the action is to be emphasized.

Example:
 The hospital was built in the 1950s. (The person behind construction of the
hospital is unknown.)
 A donation worth ₱1M was received by the organization. (The receiver of the
action is emphasized.)

D. Abstraction
Task 2: I Remember!
Directions: Using the Venn diagram, differentiate how statements are formed for both active
and passive voice.
