This paper outlines the details of a series of lessons for teaching the passive voice to speakers of other languages. A specific plan entitled "From Repetition to Meaningful Use: A Suggested Progression" includes a series of yes/no questions and progresses both from teacher-directed conversation to student-student conversation and from the reality of the teacher to that of the student. Also included is a series of pictures which give students an opportunity to develop a slot manipulation facility in a conversational solicit. (TS)
