Teacher Guide
Explain that the students need to use the word provided, unchanged, within a phrase that completes the sentence in a way that it has the same meaning as the first sentence. The phrase they write must have between 2 and 5 words.
10mins - Conversation: How does social media impact our lives? What is FOMO? Do you think social media is good or bad? What ways can it help people? What ways can it hurt them? Do you use social media?
10mins - Revision: Passive speaking: The passive verb is formed by using the verb 'to be' followed by the past participle. Ex: Active: The police officer saw the robber at the airport. Passive: The robber was seen at the airport. The passive is used when:
- we don't know who or what did something: My phone has been stolen.
- the action is more important than the person who did it: Income tax was introduced in England in 1798.
- It is obvious who or what did something: The thief has been arrested.
Use the help card to review the rules of passive speaking with the student.
10mins - Activity: Memory with items: Have students practice using the passive voice in a memory game.
10mins - Worksheet: 04 passive speaking
15mins - Test: 04 reading practice - part 4
05mins - Warm down: Goodbye, see you next time!
00mins - Homework: Have the students research and choose a famous invention. They must write a paragraph describing the history of the invention, using passive speech.
1) Think about the voice - can you switch between active and passive voice?
2) Look at the words directly before and after the gap. If a past participle follows the gap, you know you'll need the auxiliary verb 'have/had' in your response.
3) Do not use fewer than two or more than five words.
4) Do not modify the key word in any way.
