Grammar Girl #11.46
GG#11.46: “Active voice versus Passive Voice”
Write a summary (use your own words).
Write two examples - use sentences from your own writing (either from our class or from another class) that demonstrate the rule or break it (and then you'll fix the sentence).
Also, when you respond to your classmates don't just put you like their post. Make sure to have a meaningful response. Note - if someone already corrected a person, then don't do the same thing. Read a different response and offer a new correction. Also, if you say there is an error, suggest how to fix it.
One last thing - watch your own examples and grammar.
