Introduction to Passive and Active Voice

Our goals today are: A. to understand the difference between passive and active voice B. to understand the role of audience in determining which to use C. to understand the role of purpose in their use Related outcomes: Rhetorical awareness Critical Thinking More information about these outcomes can be found on the course outcomes statement

Leading questions: What, in your view, is “passive voice”? What, in your view, is “active voice”? How are they different?

Audience Awareness—what does it mean to be aware of audience in writing? Purpose Awareness—what does it mean to be aware of purpose in writing? Knowing who our audience is and what they need is crucial in determining whether we should use active or passive voice. Clearly knowing our purpose will help us make that decision.

Passive voice example: 500mg of drug A-2 were administered to patient Fox-1 at 20:00 today. No immediate response to the drug was noted in patient Fox-1, and patient Fox-1 continues to be monitored by interns. Questions: What parts of this example use passive voice? What indicates the use of passive voice? What does the use of passive voice here tell us about the audience(s)? Does the use of passive voice tell us anything about purpose? How might we change this to active voice?

Active voice example: Mr. Smith wrote to us with a complaint about the kind of concrete we proposed for the sidewalk outside the main plaza. He feels our current choice will not look good against the tiling we agreed on for the plaza. How is this example different from the previous? What does it tell us about the intended audience and the purpose? How might we change it to passive voice?

Are the following examples active or passive voice? A. Remission was defined according to the symptom–severity component of the consensus criteria... as a rating of three or less. B. In an effort to explore this discrepancy, we first summarize our current knowledge about pharmacological, psychological, social, and other emerging treatments for schizophrenia. C. Weather forecasters in Washington State have ideal jobs because they will always be right half the time. D. Despite the presence of the sun this morning, it has been determined that the rest of the day will be lousy.
