Clearing, sifting and sorting...that's the garage activity this week. In the research classroom, we talk about active voice which is a style of writing researchers do that is direct and to the point. There is little to no elaboration when using active voice.
Examples of active voice would be
I organized items from the seasonal area of the garage into plastic bins.
The same sentence put into passive voice would be
The plastic bins were filled with items from the seasonal area of the garage by me.
Phew!! What a long way to say the direct message that I put stuff into bins!
Active voice does not use 'you' and rarely uses the word 'that'. Direct and to the point, that is the whole idea behind active voice.
