The Passive Voice

We are coming to the end of our Information Text Unit for Literacy. We are researching information regarding our chosen dinosaur to create our class encyclopaedia all about dinosaurs. A key feature of Information Texts is that it is written in the passive voice. That is when the subject of the sentence is at the end. Can you take the sentences created from sentence builder and put it in the passive voice on the blog? Can you write a comment about today in the passive voice for the blog? Have a go and we can reply to peer assess if somebody has made a little mistake.

    This is a passive voice sentence.
    Crumpets were dreamed about by the postman.
    And here's another.
    The queen was peered at nervously by the mice.
    The subject of the sentence goes to the end and the object at the start.

      Hey JJ. In your second sentence who is doing the sitting? So who is the subject? So is it definitely a passive voice sentence? I wonder what our class mates think?
