This PowerPoint is additional material for the Passages unit on Storytelling. In this case the story is about Dan and an unfortunate incident on the way to work last year. There are worksheets to accompany the story and as a special surprise, some pronunciation exercises with audio. The story also lends itself to the ‘grammar focus’ on page 59, as several of the adverbs are included in the slides and on the worksheets.
