Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Answer short-answer comprehension questions using specific details from a biographical passage.
Argue a true-or-false claim using textual evidence from the passage.
Compose an extended piece of writing (essay or diary entry) that draws on and extends ideas from the reading.
Teaching tips
Have students complete the vocabulary task (synonyms for 'extraordinary,' defining 'humble') before the comprehension questions, since several answers rely on understanding those two words as the passage uses them.
Use the two true-or-false questions as a quick check for careful reading, since both require students to cite the passage rather than guess.
Assign the diary-entry prompt as a lower-stakes creative option and the comparative-athlete essay as the more structured writing task, since the two prompts differ in formality.
Skills covered
Reading comprehension — students answer short-answer questions drawn directly from the biographical passage.
Vocabulary in context — students generate synonyms for 'extraordinary' and explain 'humble' as used in the passage.
Extended writing — students compose either a comparative essay or a first-person diary entry building on the reading.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do both writing prompts ask for the same type of writing?
No. The first asks for a structured essay comparing Messi to another extraordinary athlete, while the second is a first-person diary entry imagining a day spent with him.
