Scholars analyze the use of active and passive voice in The Montgomery Bus Boycott speech and refer to an Active and Passive Sentences handout while viewing the text. Pairs of learners then work together to identify passive and active sentences. Afterward, they listen to the speech on an audio recording as they complete organizers and use Turn and Talk strategies to discuss the audio.
