A LESSON PLAN IN GRAMMAR FOR GRADE 8 ENGLISH

I. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:


a. engage in an interactive activity through writing active or passive voice sentences;
b. appreciate writing active and passive sentences through interactive activity;
c. Write sentences in active to passive and passive to active.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Active and Passive Voice


Reference: BBC Compacta

III. PROCEDURE

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer
2. Checking of Attendance

B. Motivation
1. Let the students see the pictures on the board & then ask them these questions:
a. What do you prefer? A Player? or An Audience?
b. What you is the difference between the two?

C. Presentation

1. Video Presentation
2. Show more examples and then analyze the sentences with the students.

Active (Present) Passive


She collects stamps. Stamps are collected by her.
Dora explores the city. The city is explored by Dora.

Active (Past) Passive


Batman saved Robin. Robin was saved by Batman.
The manager rejected the proposal. The proposal was rejected by the manager.

Active (Future) Passive


Frank shall buy the tickets. The tickets shall be bought by Frank.
Barbie will use the room below. The room below will be used by Barbie.

2. Voice is the quality of a verb that shows whether the subject is the doer or receiver of the action. The
Active Voice is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action while the Passive Voice
indicates that the subject is the receiver of the action. Why use the passive voice? (If the doer is unknown, if the
doer is not as important as the action carried out and for the element of surprise.)

3. Ask the students


a. What are the subjects in each sentence?
(These subjects were the ones doing the action in the sentence.)
b. What verbs were used?
(Those verbs are transitive verbs with direct objects, thus when the subject of the sentence does
the action and the verb has a direct object, we say that the verb is in the active voice.)

4. To change the sentences from active to passive we just make the direct object the subject of the
sentence. Show S-V-O pattern change. (The pronoun I is not used.) Notice how the verbs were written. (Be verb + past
participle of the main verb) Do you see the difference from the previous verbs? In changing a sentence from active to
passive, the direct object becomes the subject and/or the doer is placed with the “by-phrase”/ “by-agent”.

D. Activity: PICTURE IT OUT, WRITE IT OUT!


1. The teacher will divide the class into five (5) groups.
2. The game will be played by group. It will be in the context of writing a sentence based from the picture
displayed in the monitor. However, each picture requires either an active/ passive voice or the time is
only limited for ten (10) seconds per display.
3. The group who earns most of the correct sentence wins the game.
E. Application

1. Let the students orally identify the voice of the verb in each sentence then change the form.

Items: Answer:
They will watch a movie. Active – A movie will be watched by them.
Houses were destroyed by the earthquake. Passive – The earthquake destroyed houses.
The telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey. Passive – Hans Lippershey invented the telescope.
The fans carried a big banner. Active – A big banner was carried by the fans.
Jim uploads videos every week on YouTube. Active – Videos are uploaded by Jim every week on
YouTube.

E. Generalization

1. Therefore when can you say that a sentence is in the active or in passive voice?
A verb that has direct objects is in the active voice. If the subject is acted upon, the verb is in the passive voice.

2. How will you change the passive from active to passive voice?
In changing a sentence from active to passive, the direct object becomes the subject and/or the doer is placed with the “by-
phrase”/ “by-agent”.

IV. EVALUATION:

(Ask the students to get a piece of one half crosswise sheet of paper.
Administer the quiz below for the students.)

A. Determine whether the sentence is Active or Passive voice. Rewrite the Active voice to passive and Passive to
Active.
