<p>This is an activities sheet with an answer key that you can give to students who are more advanced in understanding the passive (perhaps used as a summative assessment). The sheets can be done in person or remotely. It has 15 questions which require the student to convert the active sentences to passive ones (keeping the tense the same). 2 of the questions cannot be converted as they have intransitive verbs - so it’s a good way to introduce transitive and non-transitive verbs.</p>

<p>This handout can be used as homework or for a lesson. It is a reading comprehension exercise that tests the understanding of the text, as well as briefly testing understanding in areas of grammar:</p> <p>Synonyms</p> <p>Antonyms</p> <p>Passive voice</p> <p>Word classes</p> <p>The difference between ‘affect’ and ‘effect’</p> <p>Moreover, it also gives students a summarising task; again, this can be given as homework or done in the class to fill the lesson into a whole hour.</p> <p>Answers are included.</p>

<p>This handout is a nice activity to give any students from 8th Grade and above to work on their spelling. It consists of two extracts from the same story, with 10 spelling mistakes in each extract.</p> <p>The students are required to find and underline the spelling mistakes, and complete a table whereby they enter the incorrect spelling, and then the correct spelling next to it. Some of the answers are already given.</p> <p>For differentiation you may want to give more answers for the first extract (Part One), and then let the stronger students go onto the second extract (Part Two) with fewer given answers.</p> <p>Finally, there is an opportunity for students to test each other on the spelling mistakes and giving the correct answers (with clear instructions to turn over the handout to avoid cheating!)</p> <p>It comes with an answer key and is an ideal handout during a busy period whereby it’s just print and go. It could also be given as homework, or divided into two. Part One in class and Part two for homework.</p> <p>it is up to you if you want to allow dictionaries etc. One option is to give the students the work to do without any help from a dictionary, and then get them to mark each other’s work afterwards, using dictionaries to check.</p>
