The role of a teacher. 💁💁💁

Teachers play a crucial role in promoting digital citizenship among their students. They serve as guides, educators, and role models, helping students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to navigate the digital world responsibly. Firstly, teachers can integrate digital citizenship education into their curriculum, teaching students about topics such as online safety, privacy, critical thinking, and respectful online behavior. They can design lessons and activities that encourage students to reflect on their digital practices and consider the ethical implications of their online actions.

Furthermore, teachers can model good digital citizenship themselves, demonstrating responsible use of technology and fostering a positive online environment within the classroom. They can lead by example by practicing respectful communication online, respecting the privacy of students and colleagues, and adhering to ethical standards when using digital resources. Additionally, teachers can provide support and guidance to students who encounter challenges or issues in the digital world, helping them develop strategies for dealing with cyberbullying, navigating online conflicts, and protecting their digital well-being.

Lesson no: 1 Teacher name: sabina monger Subject: english Topic: active and passive voice Class: VI Time: 45 minutes Teaching learning materials: pictures, google drawing, powerpoint, video links, images. Digital tools and text books ICT model: TPACK Model Previous knowledge: Learners have studied verbs in classes IV and V. Lesson objectives: at the end of the lesson, students will be able to; 1. Students will identify active and passive voices in sentences. 2. Students will comprehend the differences between active and passive voice and analyze sentence structures. 3. students will improve their ability to transform sentences between active and passive voice with increasing complexity

Lesson Introduction

The teacher will Introduce the lesson by asking learners to Identify nouns, verbs, articles, adjectives…and then identify the subject and object).

A boy kicked the yellow ball.

Learners will discuss with their friends the definition of subject and object. 

Subject: one who does or performs an action/performer of action

Object: one who is affected by the action of the subject/receiver of the action. The most common order of words in a sentence is subject, verb, and object.

Information development /content presentation

Information input:

• A transitive verb has two voices-active and passive. 

• Discuss how to identify active and passive voices, the differences, and how to change by showing the following examples.

• Active sentence: The subject is the performer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action. The subject comes first in the sentence and this position indicates that it is the most important.

• Passive sentence: The subject is the receiver of the action so it takes first place in the sentence. The performer of the action is not as important and it is most often indicated with the preposition ‘by’. 

• The decision to use either active or passive voice is in the control of the speaker.

• Language Arts Active and Passive Voice Education Presentation in Colorful Illustrative Style .pptx 

Active sentence Passive sentence

• I gave her Nu. 100,000/-. She was given Nu.100,000/- by me

• The dog bit the man. The man was bitten by the dog.

• Sonam took the snap of the most beautiful flower in the garden. The picture of the most beautiful flower was taken by Sonam.

• You have not paid your bill. Your bill has not been paid.

• Active and passive sentences have essentially the same meaning but differ in the way the relationships between the participants are presented.

• Active sentences have the advantage of being clear and direct.

• Using passive enables you to place certain materials towards the end of the clause where it may receive the emphasis of the final position and concentrate upon the issue or process.

• The students will watch the video.

Activity 1: sentence identification

• Provide students with a set of sentences, both in active and passive voice, on flashcards or on a worksheet.

• Divide the class into small groups.

• Ask each group to sort the sentences into two categories: active voice and passive voice.

• After they have completed the sorting, have each group share their categorization with the class, discussing any disagreements and the reasons behind their choices.

Activity 2: Sentence Transformation:

• Divide the class into pairs.

• Provide each pair with index cards containing sentences in either active or passive voice.

• Instruct students to transform the sentences from active to passive or passive to active, depending on the original voice.

• Encourage students to discuss their reasoning with their partners.

• Randomly call on pairs to share their transformed sentences with the class.

Follow-Up Activities:

• Assign students to write five sentences in active voice and five sentences in passive voice.

• Encourage them to identify the subject, verb, and object in each sentence.

• Review the homework in the next class and provide feedback.

Closure:

• Summarize the key points of the lesson, emphasizing the importance of understanding when and how to use active and passive voice effectively.
