Presentation (10 minutes) •

Remind students that the focus of the sentence comes at the beginning of the sentence. In the first sentence, the focus is on what happened (X-rays are taken …). In the second sentence, the focus is on the person (Radiologists …)

•

Elicit that the sentence where the focus is on the person is an active sentence because radiologists are doing the action. The other type of sentence is a passive sentence.

•

Analyse the two different sentences on the board. 1 X-rays are taken in the X-ray department. SUBJECT

•

VERB OBJECT

2 Radiologists take X-rays in the X-ray department. Elicit the structure of the sentences: Simple present (active):

subject + verb + object

Simple present (passive):

subject (object of the active sentence) + (am/is/are) + past participle

Key: 4

a We should use the second sentence, Radiologists take X-rays in the X-ray department. b We should use the first sentence, X-rays are taken in the X-ray department. c This type of sentence is called a passive sentence. d It is made using the verb to be + the past participle of the verb. The object of the active sentence comes at the beginning of the passive sentence, e.g. Radiologists take X-rays

Author: Joanne Yanova r:©Katie Jones. Pearson

X-rays are taken.

At the Hospital Lesson Plan Practice (20 minutes) •

Elicit that the sentences in activity 5 will be passive sentences. Students work individually and check in pairs.

Key: Children are treated in the paediatric clinic.

5

Patients are examined and treated in the accident and emergency department. Meals are prepared in the large kitchen. Medicine is mixed, measured and handed out in the pharmacy. 6

No. The verb wait is intransitive (intransitive is a word we use to describe verbs that don’t have or don’t need objects. It is written as an ‘I ’ in your dictionary.) Wait has no object that could come at the beginning of a passive sentence.

•

Elicit that the sentence in activity 6 cannot be changed into a passive sentence because wait is intransitive and there is no object in the sentence.

•

Students make their own mind maps either individually or in small groups. Allow them to use dictionaries if necessary.

•

Students write sentences based on their mind maps using the passive wherever possible, e.g. Letters are posted at a post office. / Trains leave from the railway station.

•

Check the students’ sentences.

Closure (15 minutes) •

Students draw a grid which is 12 squares across and 12 squares down.

•

Students use their sentences to create crossword puzzles. For the clues, they should copy out their sentences leaving a blank for each answer. e.g.

Letters are posted at a _____________________ office. (4 letters) (Answer: post) Trains leave from the railway _____________________. (7 letters) (Answer: station)

•

Students exchange the puzzles.

•

Students find the missing words to complete the crossword puzzles.
