Description
This active and passive voice activity will allow you to teach or review the concepts of active and passive voice in a hands-on format that will engage your high school students while allowing the grammar concept to sink in deeper.
HOW THIS LESSON WORKS:
- You will prep this lesson by cutting out the cards and placing them in small bags for your students
- Hand out a set of cards to individual students or to pairs
- Each card has a mentor sentence printed on it (a sentence taken from a published work)
- Students will work individually or in pairs to separate the cards into 2 stacks: one stack for sentences written in active voice and one stack for sentences written in passive voice
- Walk around and guide students as they work, or wait until the end and see who has separated all the cards correctly
- Give students the optional handout included in the lesson for further discussion and reflection on the sentences
HOW THIS LESSON ENGAGES YOUR STUDENTS:
- High school students rarely get to do hands-on work with grammar, but they LOVE it (trust me on this).
- Moving the cards around engages their hands which engages their minds
- By separating the sentences, they will naturally compare the sentences, thus bringing further understanding of the differences between active and passive voice
WHAT YOU GET:
- 12 pre-printed cards with a separate mentor sentence on each
- 6 cards are written in active voice
- 6 cards are written in passive voice
- A customizable sheet so you can add your own mentor sentences from books your students are reading
- Handout for further reflection and discussion after the activity
- Detailed lesson plan with optional discussion questions
By engaging your students in each part of the lesson, the concept of active and passive voice will stick!
