Each PPT is a lesson itself, and follows the same format:
Listen to a chapter from the book on BBC Sounds, then:
Answer comprehension questions.
Complete a vocabulary challenge using words from that chapter of the text.
Activity designed around that chapter, for example, in The Wind in the Willows, Grahame uses lots of literary devices to describe the river, pupils have to copy his style and produce their own piece of writing.

The Wind in the Willows
