Active vs. Passive Voice Review Exercise

✨ Writing Prompt

Choose a recent news article that interests you. Write a brief review (about 300 words) summarizing its main points. As you write, include at least five sentences in active voice and five sentences in passive voice. After completing your review, underline the active voice sentences and highlight the passive voice sentences. Then, select one sentence of each type and rewrite it by transforming it into the other voice. For example, if your active voice sentence is 'The journalist reported the findings,' rewrite it as 'The findings were reported by the journalist.' Your final submission should include your original review and the transformed sentences.
