Grammar Lesson Plan
Topic: Passive Voice
Instructor: Julia					Level: Upper Intermediate	Students: 5			Length: 30 Minutes
Materials: *A picture of a department store (Eliciting) *Board and marker *Passive voice wall chart(Pre Activity - Deductive) *Worksheet ( 2 copies ) *Passive Voice Formula wall chart *Different pictures ( 2 types, 3 copies ) *'Be' verb wall chart *Word cards ( of 6 people each ) *Timer
Aims: * Main Aim ->Students are going to understand passive voice by comparing with active voice (Object + am/is/are+past participle(-ed) + by subject, closed style) * Secondary Aim ->Students are going to use it in their speech by describing different two pictures. * Personal Aim -> I want to improve my instructions, use board properly, have error corrections and use time properly.
Language Skills: * Listening : Listening to short comparison * Reading : Active and Passive voice forms * Speaking : Comparing two different pictures * Writing : Active and Passive voice sentences
Language Systems: * Phonology : /-ed/ * Lexis : be verbs and past participles * Grammar : Object + am/is/are+past participle(-ed) + by subject formation * Function : Asking, Answering * Discourse : Asking and answering
Assumptions: Students already know : *how the class is set up and run and teacher's style of teaching and the pace of the course. *students have working knowledge of passive expressions such as "The win- dow is broken. The room is cleaned." *most students are good enough to share their ideas in English.
Anticipated Problems and Solutions: * Students may not be able to pronounce some words ->Use repetition and drills. *Students may not be able to understand instructions -> Chunk instructions and ask more ICQs. *If students may not be able to fine out passive formula -> Tell them 'Object + am/is/are+past participle(-ed) + by subject' *Students may need more time to work ->Give 3 more minutes.

Time	Set Up		Student Activity				Teacher Talk
1min 2min	Whole Class Whole Class		Answer teacher's questions. Answer the elicited questions.				"Hi everyone. Our weekend started!!^^ Did you have good sleep last night? And do you feel good now?" Eliciting The word " Passive " -Show a picture of department store. -Ask "What do you do there?" "Yes, You buy some clothes, eat some food, repair some clothes. (Put the picture on the board.) (WRITE 'buy, eat and repair' on board.) -Ask "What is done in the department store? "Yes. Clothes are bought by you, foods are eaten by you and clothes are repaired." (WRITE 'are eaten, are bought and are repaired' on board.) When the action is focused rather than a person and when objects such as clothes and food are promoted to a subject, What do you name it? It rhymes with 'tensive, tussive and erosive' and it starts with "P". What is this? Yes. It is PASSIVE. CCQ -"Do you use passive voice when a person is focused?" -"When I say " My car is broken.", is it passive?

3 min 5min 4min		Whole Class Groups Whole Class		Student listen and understand. Students do the work sheet. Write the formula on board. Students examine the formula together.				1. Passive Voice ( Deductive Explanation ) (Show the wall chart.) "Here is a sentence. [ Steve loves Jayme.] In Grammar, we call Steve subject, loves verb, Jayme object. But In other words, Doer, Action and Receiver or The target of the action. When the subject is doing the action , we say "It is active." But look at this sentence. [Jayme is loved by Steve.] a) The target of action, Jayme gets promoted to subject position. b) So the subject of sentence becomes Jayme. But she is doing nothing. Rather she still receives Steve's love. c) The focus is changed from Steve to Jayme. At this time, we say "It is passive." And we use passive form when we don't know who did the action such as [The window is broken. My car is damaged.]." CCQ -Does a passive sentence start with the target of action? -Then do they do something? No. they just receive the action. 2. Grouping Instructions "In this paper, there are two different types of sentences, active and passive. And they are mixed. First, write proper sentences in a proper box. Second, find out the formula of the passive sentences. If you are done, come out and write the formula on the board. You have 5 minutes and work in two groups." Demonstration " For example, I write the sentence [My mother cleans my room everyday.] in active box. And I write the sentence [My room is cleaned by my mom everyday.] in passive box. And find out the formula of the passive and write them on the board." ICQ -How many things do you do? (2) -What are those? -When you find out the formula, what do you do? -How many minutes do you have? -Are you working individually? (DEVIDE IN TO 2 GROUPS!!) (Distribute the work sheet.) "Start" Monitoring Monitor discreetly. Answer students if they ask questions. Give time warning : 3 minutes left. 2 minutes left. 2 minutes left. 30 seconds left Be flexible with time. Give 1 more minute if students need it. "Time's up." Presentation "Let us see the formulas together."

5min 4min		Pairs Whole Class		Students describe the differences. Students share the differences.		1. Describing changes. Instructions (Put 2 wall chart on board.) "And here are my formula for the passive and helping be verbs. You are working in pairs. Pairs have 2 sets of different pictures. (Make pairs and hand out pictures.) In pairs. you describe the differences. You don't care the time. You think only about the fact, the changes. And you don't start the sentences with you or other person. You only start the sentences only with the name of the things in the pictures. You can get some help from the charts. You have 5 minutes." ICQ -Are you working individually? -How many minutes do you have? -Do you think about the time? -Do you start with person? "Start" Monitoring Monitor discreetly. Answer students if they ask questions. Give time warning : 3 minutes left. 2 minutes left. 2 minutes left. 30 seconds left Be flexible with time. Give 1 more minute if students need it. "Time's up."

Instructions "Now you are going to make a sentence together. You are 5. So the sentence is made up with 5 words. You should find out the right order. you can be a subject or a verb. When your discussion is done, line up from the air conditioner to the computer. Demonstration " For example, I have a card [is]. The find out who is the subject(doer) and who is the [-ed]. Then I stand up between them. Let's try several times for 4 minutes. You should make up a sentence for 20 seconds." (Hand out word cards to 5 students.) ICQ -How many words does a sentence have? 5 -How many seconds do you have to make a sentence? 20 -Are you working individually? "Start" Monitoring Monitor discreetly.
