In this class you will study some vocabulary as it's used to describe the movie. Seeing vocabulary should help you remember and understand how to use these words. Then you will study active and passive sentences as they're used to describe the movie. Understanding which situations call for active verbs and which situations call for passive verbs is extremely difficult for English learners. This class makes it as easy as possible by showing which situations in the movie are best described actively and which are best described passively. Then you'll examine the grammatical form of these sentences and be encouraged to use your new knowledge of active and passive on the ESLgo.com forums.
The Raiders class consists of:
| Class part | Activity | Time |
| Intro | General information about the class. | 5 minutes plus however long it takes you to get the video. |
| Part A | Introduction to some vocabulary (5 nouns). | 5 minutes |
| Part B | Introduction to some more vocabulary (5 verbs). | 5 minutes |
| Part C | Watch the first part of the movie and order sentences based on the vocabulary from parts A and B. | 15 minutes |
| Part D | Examine the active and passive verbs found in the sentences from part C. | 5-10 minutes |
| Part E | Convert present tense sentences from parts C and D to past tense sentences. | 5-10 minutes |
| Part F | Review the rules for active and passive verbs in the present and past tense. Use your knowledge on one of the message boards. | 5 minutes for the review, then spend as much (or as little) time on the message board as you like. |
