Today, the first thing that you will do is practice the passive voice. The passive voice will help you paraphrase and summarize better. We will continue with this same grammar point in class for the next week or two.

1. Click on the Tense Busters icon. Click on Advanced and then on Passive Voice. Start from the introduction and practice all the way until the end.

2. If you have time, go to AceReade and do the highlighted activities for today; if you don't get to this, it is for homework. Don't forget that you should be going on AceReader at least twice a week.

Click on the AceReader link that is under the Reading Websites heading on the right hand side of the blog page.
