Please settle down, dear students.” (Students behaved)
“Our icebreaker for today is called ‘Place
Me Where I Belong’ this is all about
looking for a pair and guess where it “Oh, okay”
belong.” “Nice!”

“I'll divide you into two groups, with each

group receiving four sentences. Your task
is to analyze and compare the sentences
to identify which two are related. Once
you find the matching pairs, you need to
determine which table each pair belongs (Indistinct chatter)
to and then post your findings on the
board.”
“Yes, we are!”
“Are you all ready?”

(The teacher grouped the students)

“Now, let’s check your work. Everyone,

kindly go back to your seat.”

(The teacher checks the work of the

students)

have you observed?”
(Carlo raised his hand)
“Aside from that, what else?”
“The subject is the one doing the action,
“Yes, Carlo?” ma’am.”

“Okay, very good observation.”

“Because the verb is the one action over
“Let’s move on to the other table, why do the subject.”
you think they belong here and they are
the same to each other?” (Students’ clapping)

“Okay, good. The verb acts upon the

subject.”
 C. Presentation of the Lesson

“Now, what do we call if the subject is the

one performing the action denoted by the
verb?”

“Starts with letter A” “Is it Active, ma’am?”

“Yes, very good!”

(The teacher reveals the visual aid of the “Wow!”
lesson on the board)

“How about if the verb acts upon the (Silence)

subject?”

“The opposite of active voice and you had “Ahhhh! Me, ma’am!” (Jonathan raised his
this last academic year.” hand)

“Yes, Jonathan?” “Is it Passive Voice, ma’am?”

“Well done! Please give a round of

applause to everyone who participated.”

"I’m sure you already have an idea of “Active and Passive Voice, ma’am.”
what our lesson will be about this
morning."
“Okay, ma’am.”
“Yes, and to formally introduce to you our
lesson this morning, kindly face the screen
and please listen attentively to our
discussion.”

D. Development of the Lesson

(The teacher presents the power point

presentation)

Voice indicates the form of a transitive

verb that shows whether the subject is the
doer or the receiver of the action. The
active voice shows the subject as the
doer. The passive voice shows the subject
as the receiver.

The verb form in the passive construction

is composed of the auxiliary verb ‘be’ +
the past participle of the main verb.

Ex. 1. Rihanna showed the bow to Taylor.

2. The bow was shown to Taylor by
Rihanna.

From the shown examples, the first

sentence is in the active voice while the
second sentence is in the passive voice. “Ma’am can you give more examples?”

“Sure!”

“I want you to change this passive voice

to active voice.”
“Grandmother prepared the meal.”
“The meal was prepared by
Grandmother.” “Oh, now I get it!”

“Very good!”

“How about, Jennifer? Change this active

voice to passive voice.” “I don’t know the answer, ma’am.”

“The people celebrated the feast of the

patron saint last month.” “Uhm, Last month they celebrated the
feast of the patron saint.”
“You can at least try, come on. You can do
it!”
(Carlo raised his hand)

“Okay, nice try! Does anyone here wants

to help Jennifer?” “The feast of the patron saint was
celebrated last month.”
“Okay, Carlo.”

“Very good.”

“Class, always remember that in changing

from active voice to passive voice, you
should keep in mind that the first thing
you should do is identify the subject, the
verb, and the object. Then change the
object into subject. The active verb does
not have an object. Therefore, the passive
form should begin with you. Change the
verb into the past participle of the verb.
And lastly, change the subject into an “Yes, ma’am. Got it!”
object.
And vice versa. Do you get it dear
students?”
“Okay, ma’am.”

“To check if you really did understand our

lesson I will give you more sentences.”
“I’ll give you questions in passive form of
the verb which is inside the parentheses”

“For example, the question goes like this,

‘What happened to the naughty boy?
(scold)’
The answer would be, ‘He was scolded by
the teacher.’ “More examples, ma’am. Please!”

“Okay, sure!”

‘What happened to the bottles? (break)’ “Oh, okay.”

-The bottles were broken by the toddlers.

“Are my dear students ready?” “Ready, ma’am!”

“Okay, I want Criza to answer this one on

the board.”

1. What happened to the suspect? “The suspect was released by the

(release) policemen.”

“Well done!”

“Now, for our short quiz please get a “Augh.”

crosswise and answer this.”

“Don’t worry class, this is just short.”

E. Fixing Skills

Change the sentences from active voice to

passive voice.
1. He locked the door.
2. Someone stole my money.
3. He didn’t mention my name.
4. Two marshals led the procession.
5. The folk dancers entertained the
guests.

“Do it in 10 minutes in a crosswise paper.

Please begin answering now.”

“Time’s Up! Face your partners and

exchange papers. Be honest in checking
you classmate’s paper.”
 F. Wrap Up

“Now, can you tell the difference between “Yes, ma’am.”

the two?”

“Jonathan, what is active voice?” “Ma’am, it is an active voice if the subject

of the sentence is the doer of the action.”
“Very good!”

“Criza, what is passive voice?” “Passive voice shows the subject as the
receiver.”
“Well done, dear students!”

“Since you’ve mastered our lesson for “Yes, ma’am!’

today. I will dismiss you early, do you want
that?

G. Valuing

“Okay, but before that may I ask how (Rob raised his hand)
important it is to distinguish and learn the
active and passive voice?”

“Yes, Rob?” “Understanding this lesson is crucial

because it gives clarity and emphasis in
conveying a message. It also gives style in
writing and improving speaking skills.”

“Well said! Thank you so much for

participating my dear students! I
appreciate it!”

“Please also take note, that learning this (The whole class is attentively listening.)
can enhance your correct usage of
grammar which helps in producing well-
structured sentences.”

“Thank you for listening and for your last

assessment kindly listen carefully.”

IV. Learning Assessment

“On a single sheet of paper, write five

sentences in the active voice. Then, swap
papers with a classmate and convert their
active voice sentences into the passive
voice.”

“I’ll give you ten minutes to do that.” “What?”

“Okay.”

“Are you done?”

 “Not yet, ma’am.”

“Okay, pass your papers.”

“Have a great weekend, class!”

“Goodbye, grade 8 students!” “Goodbye and Thank you, Ma’am Jolly!”
