This Lesson One is based on the South Carolina Department of Education ELA Standards and the Grammar and Conventions Matrix for eighth grade. It does have a video and handout from PBS LearningMedia which both give permission to be streamed, downloaded, shared, and modified for educational use, The full credit for both are listed within this lesson plan, and they should always be given full credit if used with this lesson. The video includes captions for the audio.This lesson focuses on understanding active and passive verb voice and how to avoid inappropriate shift of voice within clauses of a single sentence. There are group activities for Think-Pair-Share during classroom instruction, as well as individual worksheets that will be graded for completion, not accuracy. This is more for the teacher to determine if there are trends, additional scaffolding needed, or any reteaching before moving forward in the Grammar and Conventions unit.It concludes with a formal writing assessment that will allow the teacher to see how students mastered using active and passive verb voice, as wel as avoiding inappropriate shift of voice within a sentence.
