Week 21
Práctica combinada: pasiva y reported speech.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Combines passive voice and reported speech to write a summary of a press conference or interview.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Reporting events: Combining tenses (e.g., 'The journalist reported that a new road was built by the town').
• Verbs for reporting: claimed, stated, reported, announced, confirmed.
• Objectivity: Maintaining a neutral reporting voice in writing.

Practical Challenge: The Press Release

Read a short script of an interview with a school principal and write a 6-line summary using both passive voice and reported speech.

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Identify which sentence uses reported speech and which uses passive: 'He said he lived here' / 'The book was read by all.'
