    A mictoteaching fragment on grammar teaching

    PASSIVE VOICE. 8th grade


    1. Presentation on the grammar phenomenon with some exercises ( passive-
    voice.pptx)
    2. Practice
     mixed-active-passive-voice.doc
     What inventions do your students think are most necessary in their
    lives? As a class, brainstorm as many different inventions necessary to
    modern life as possible. Then use that list of inventions in this combination
    grammar and reading activity. Give students ten minutes to work with a
    partner on their smartphones or other technology devices (this works best if
    you have Wi-Fi in class or can take your students to a computer lab) and
    identify who masterminded each of their necessary inventions. For every
    inventor they find, they should write a sentence in the passive voice. “The
    telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.” Give your students
    only ten minutes to research as many inventions as possible. When you call
    time, award each pair one point for identifying the correct inventor and one
    point for writing a grammatical passive sentence. The pair with the most
    points wins the game.
     Remember this. Use either a tray or a desk not in use to set up an
    arrangement with familiar (or unfamiliar) words on flashcards. Give your
    students one minute to study the tray. Then hide it from their view (behind a
    large piece of cardboard works well) and make five changes to the tray.
    You might want to remove words, reposition flashcards, or add new objects.
    Then reveal the tray to your students. They will have to note the differences
    in the tray using sentence in the passive voice. (The pencil was moved to
    the other side of the tray. The coffee mug was removed.) Once students get
    all five changes, reset the tray and try the activity again with new changes.
    If you like, ask students to come up to the front of the class and make the
    changes for one round (vocabulary: go for a walk, make things, sew,
    exercise, bake, take pictures, carve things, lift weights, do word puzzles,
    collect things, practice darts, practice pool, make pottery, play cards, do
    magic tricks, talk on the phone, build things, do some gardening)

    3. Production
    Blame it on your brother role play. What kid hasn’t gotten into trouble
    and blamed a sibling for the damage? Take advantage of this universal
    blame game for a simple role play to practice the passive voice. Choose two
    students to play the parents and two students to play the siblings, who will
    be placing all the guilt on each other. With the four students in the front of
    the class, have the parents ask their children about various negative
    situations around the house using the passive voice. (E.g. How was the lamp
    broken? The cookies were stolen by whom?) The siblings both try to blame
    the activities on the other (I didn’t break the lamp. It was broken by Hyun.)
    or on a third party (The cookies were eaten by Big Foot.) using the passive
    voice. Parents and kids should try to stump one another with the outrageous
    damages or causes of those damages. If one pair is able to render the other
    pair speechless, they win the role play.
