Teacher: "Good morning! Let's start with a 3-minute 'Sentence Detective' challenge. On the board, you see two sentences: 1. 'Someone has built a new bridge.' 2. 'A new bridge has been built.' Your mission: In your notebooks, write down two differences you notice between them. Timer starts now!"
After 3 minutes: "Time's up! Who can share one difference?" (Listens to answers, e.g., "The subject changed," "The second sentence uses 'been'."). "Excellent detective work! Today, we're focusing on the second type: the Present Perfect Passive. It helps us focus on the action and its result, not who did it—very useful for talking about changes in travel!" |
Students observe the sentences on the board. They think individually and write down differences in structure and meaning. They volunteer answers. |
Descriptors:

Whiteboard/marker, timer (phone/online), student notebooks.
