1 What kind of player was Paul Find evidence from the story to support your view.
I think Paul was a dedicated player because he spent hours practising even though he was never chosen by the coach.
2 Why did the coach call Paul “big guy” What do you think the coach might have learnt from his experiences with Paul
The coach learnt to be supportive of Paul when he was the one who saved the game and helped the team win. He may have learnt that he should never judge a person by his physical appearance but according to his ability.
Write a short summary about Paul. Use the questions as cues.
1 Who was Paul
2 What was his favourite sport
3 What did he do for making the team
4 What happened to him during the match between his team and The Bears
Paul was a basketball player on the team, The Lions. He loved basketball so much. Paul was shorter than most basketball players; in fact he was only 1.6 metres. One of his NBA favourite players was Tyrone Bogues who was also the same height.
Paul had to practice much harder than others because of his height. He was always very determined and focused but unfortunately the coach never picked him for the team. Recently, Paul finally got his chance.
During a game against The Lions’ biggest competitor, The Bears, a player on the team was injured and Paul pleaded with the coach for a chance. The coach was unsure but allowed him to play. Paul proved that he was skilled and talented by scoring shot after shot. When the game ended, the coach told Paul that he had earned his place on the team.
