Learn English - Passive Voice Exercises on Passive Use of Passive Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action. Example: My bike was stolen. In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen.

Stödstrukturer och bildstöd - mallar att sätta upp i klassrummet För elever som har svårt för att skriva och uttrycka sig begripligt på engelska använder jag mig ofta av stödstrukturer och bildstöd. Det går inte att bara säga till eleverna att de ska skriva utan jag måste undervisa dem om hur texten ska se ut och hur de skriver den på engelska. Jag utgår från genrepedagogik och cirkelmodellen när det gäller att träna eleverna i tal och i skrift. Jag tycker att det bästa är om du kan samarbeta med svenskläraren så att du på engelsklektionerna skriver samma texttyp som de arbetar med i svenskan. Mina elever som har svårt för att skriva börjar väldigt enkelt. När eleverna har kommit längre i sin skrivutveckling använder jag en mer utvecklad mall som de också tar del av hemma och iförväg. Nedan har jag bifogat några stödstrukturer som du kan använda när eleverna ska skriva olika texter. Frågorna i bilden ovan är ursprungligen från Annikas blogg och finns där på svenska. / Sara
