C. Procedures
1) Before the Lesson
Recall!
The teacher would ask questions regarding the previous lesson, The Raisin in the
Sun. This activity would be a type of review.
2) During the Lesson
 Active voice - In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs
the action denoted by the verb. These examples show that the subject is doing the
verb's action.

Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be
in the active voice.

Passive voice - One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with
a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the
verb - or passive. Note in these examples how the subject-verb relationship has changed.

Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in
the passive voice.

A. To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:

1. Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot.

2. Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by
 3. Add a form of the auxiliary verb be to the main verb and change the main verb's form

Because passive voice sentences necessarily add words and change the normal doer-action-
receiver of action direction, they may make the reader work harder to understand the intended
meaning.

B. To change a passive voice sentence into an active voice sentence,

1. Move the passive sentence's subject into the active sentence's direct object slot

2. Remove the auxiliary verb be from the main verb and change main verb's form if
needed.

3. Place the passive sentence's object of the preposition by into the subject slot.

Because it is more direct, most writers prefer to use the active voice whenever possible.
 A video will also be shown to the students for better understanding.
