Starter: Be active, not passive!
Display PowerPoint. Go through slides 1-3. Explain to students the difference between active and passive voice. Teach students the idea of bringing the subject to the front of the sentence in order to transmit meaning more clearly, directly and succinctly.
In this lesson students are going to put together a whole article individually or in pairs (depending on your group’s ability). Ideally, this should be done on laptops, but it’s possible to do on paper. You are going to feed students pieces of information via the PPT. Students will use the information to put their article together. Laptops are better for this activity as they are able to edit previously written paragraphs more efficiently.
For lower ability students, it’s probably best to print off the slides.
Explain task using slide 4. Show students slide 5-11, leaving about 5 minutes between each slide. For slide 10, you’ll need to print copies of the Article for pairs.
In the last five minutes, instruct students to check through their work using slide 12.
Students to swap their laptop with another pair and compare articles.
Show students Original Article. This is the actual article based on the same information published in 2008.
