- Some of the headlines below are in the active voice and some are in the passive voice.

- First, rewrite the headlines so that they are grammatically correct. This means inserting articles (a/an/the), punctuation (.,!), and the be verb if the sentence is passive.

·         Toronto named ‘most youthful’ city in world

·         Taylor Swift wins top prize at American Music Awards

·         World’s Biggest Bookstore sold to developer

·         Two baby baboons on display at Brooklyn zoo

·         Scottish government reveals independence plan

·         World's first electric helicopter takes flight in Germany

·         Obama elected president for second term

·         Mothers asked nearly 300 questions a day

·         2000 workers laid off by Ford motor company last month   

- Then, choose one of the headlines and using your imagination make up the story of that news. Remember to use present and past passive voice.

- Next, write a comment about a story of one of your friend’s.
