Style Academy #4

             I chose to take a look at the active vs. passive voice video and exercises on the style academy website for this style academy assignment.  Overall, I found it very helpful.  The video was helpful in providing examples both visually and audibly.  It was helpful to hear examples of passive sentences turned into active sentences even within the video instruction itself.

            I took a look at the two exercises during and after I watched the video.  It was definitely helpful to take a look at multiple sentences and combine them in multiple active ways.  I also took the same sentences and combined them in multiple passive ways.  Looking  at the difference between the two types, it was interesting to see when certain types work better than others in certain situations.  I should be able to more actively recognize the two different types of sentences throughout my daily reading after participating in this exercise.
