This is a true story:

The blob on the bridge

Look at the word cloud on the next slide and:

guess what this story is about and what happens in it.

guess what the hidden word is.

Next, you’ll see the story in pictures.

As before, the protagonist has been covered by a black blob.

Who or what is the protagonist?

Could it be a bungee jumper, an eagle, a cow?

Give it a name (X).

This is what happened to X :

One day, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, California, X was walking over a bridge, minding his

own business.

When a car passed, X got scared and jumped over the side of the

bridge. Somehow, he managed to catch a ledge and pull himself to

safety.

News of X reached the authorities and when they arrived at the

scene, they found him fast asleep on the ledge.

It was getting late so they decided that nothing could be done that

night.

They returned the next morning with a net, which they positioned

under the bridge. They shot X with a tranquilizer dart and waited for

him to fall asleep.

They used a pole to push groggy X off the ledge and into the net. X

was lowered to the ground and set free.

“My friends are never going to believe this”, X thought to himself,

as he went on his way.

Now get into pairs and write the story in your own words.
