How to use the lesson
1. Ask your students who the main sports heroes in their country are, and why. Then ask what they know about Maradona’s life and career.
2. Divide the class into two groups, A and B. Give one copy of Worksheet A to each student in Group A along with the corresponding part of Worksheet C, and one copy of Worksheet B to each student in Group B with the corresponding part of Worksheet C.
3. Tell your students they have the same text on Maradona, but that different information is missing from each worksheet. Explain that they are going to ask a member of the other group some questions to help them complete the text, but first they need to prepare the questions.
4. Give the students at least ten minutes to read through the text and check any new vocabulary, then give them at least another ten minutes to work together in their groups to prepare and write down the questions they need to ask in order to complete the text. Monitor this activity to make sure that the students are formulating the questions correctly (see suggestions below) and provide prompts if necessary.
5. When all the students have prepared their questions, divide them into pairs so that each student from Group A is working with a student from Group B. They should take turns asking and answering the questions they have prepared and write the answers in the spaces in the text. Tell students not to look at their partner’s text.
6. When both students have finished asking and answering, allow them to compare worksheets. Then check answers in open class.
7. Keeping the students in their pairs, ask them to turn over their copies of Worksheet A, or to hand them back to you temporarily. Then ask them to attempt Exercise 2 on Worksheet D, which contains the text from Worksheet A with twenty incorrect words that they have to identify and correct. The words containing the mistakes are all in bold, as are five other words that are correct. Point out that the mistakes are all grammatical or lexical, and that no correction requires them to write more than one additional word.
