Explain the students that you will be teaching that about the passive voice.
Development:
 Let the students make sentences from the "starter" section on page 78. explain why and how those senteces are passive. Explain the students that we use the passive voice when we are interested in the object of an active sentence. (ie. we don't care who makes the Nikon Cameras-we are simply interested in where they are made) Explain the students how to identify a passive sentence (to be-past participle). Tell the students to read the text "A photograph that changed the world" - make them follow you while read the passage out loud. While reading check with the students if they are familiar with all the vocabulary. If you come across with words unknown by any student, describe or mime the unknown word so the student guesses the Turkish meaning of the unknown word - if you can't, simply tell the Turkish meaning of the word.
Practice:
 1- Make the students to underline the passive sentences in the reading text. When they are done, let them tell the sentences they underlined so that you make sure all the passive sentences in the text are underlined by all students. 2- Exercise 1 (true or false) 3- Grammar spot (explain how the related tenses are used in passive sentences by the examples given in the grammar reference 10.1 page 139)
