Ø Option: To make it a bit more challenging: (Discovering Grammar)
Students work in pairs or trios. They are given a set of cards with broken sentences, so that they have to match them and complete them with the appropriate verbs in past participle. Then answers are checked after a time limit (5-10 minutes) depending on the group (and groups size)

Teacher might want to model a sentence to let students know what they are expected to do. It can be an example with something they are familiar with, like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton which is relatively recent information: We can elicit a sentence saying: Why was Paris Hilton in jail? Do you know? The expected answer should be:
Paris Hilton was arrested for driving drunk/ while she was drunk.¨
Then they find the rules to make sentences in Passive Voice and they might find more uses of it.
These shoes were made in Leon. /My watch was made in China, etc

Hello Kary and Octavio:
I liked your "teacher model the situation" since I considere we cannot expect SS produce something without having a model to follow.

It`s an easy way to practice and introduce passive, but I think that students might have a little problem in coming out with a formula.
