Thinking Within the Text
Thinking Beyond the Text
Thinking About the Text
• Jim Thorpe became a star athlete
at college.
• Speaking out against racial
prejudice takes courage and
commitment.
• Photos from long ago help
readers to visualize events in the
past.
• Never giving up on your dreams
can be a life goal.
• Captions tell more information
about photos.
• Jim Thorpe was an Olympic
champion.
• Jim Thorpe became a
professional baseball and
football player.
• Section headings are good
section summaries.
• Jim Thorpe spoke out on behalf
of Native American rights.
• The author’s purpose is to
inform readers about the life and
career of Jim Thorpe.

Choices for Further Support
• Fluency Invite students to choose a passage from the text to read aloud. Remind
them to pause slightly after commas and periods.
• Comprehension Based on your observations of the students’ reading and discussion,
revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind students to go
back to the text to support their ideas.
• Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using
examples from the text. Remind students that some words have more that one
meaning. For example, pasado on page 2 may mean “que ocurrió tiempo atrás” or
“forma del verbo pasar (ir)”. Have students think of all the meanings they know for
these words: dejó, estrella (page 3), and vencía (page 7).

Writing about Reading
Vocabulary Practice
Have students complete the Vocabulario questions on Hoja reproducible 11.1.
Responding
Have students complete the vocabulary activities on page 11. Remind them to answer the
Word Teaser on p. 12. (Answer: profesional)
Reading Nonfiction
Nonfiction Features: Captions and Photos
Remind students that nonfiction has many features to help readers find and understand
important information. Captions and photos are two of these features. Explain that
captions can be longer sentences, as in this book, or short phrases. Captions tell readers
what a photo, map, or diagram is about. Sometimes captions give readers information
that is not found in the selection. By reading the captions in a nonfiction book, readers can
preview the book before reading the main text.
Photos are another important source of information. They often add information that is
not in the text and help readers see what the author is writing about. Have students look
again at the photo on page 5. Ask what information they learn from the photo (cómo
era el aspecto de Jim Thorpe; la ropa que llevaban los jugadores de fútbol americano en
1912; cómo jugaba al fútbol americano Jim Thorpe). Then have volunteers read aloud the
caption. Then ask students to choose another photo in the book and write another caption
for it, based on what they see in the photo.
Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text
Have students write a response to the prompt on page 6.
Assessment Prompts
• Which words on page 2 help the reader understand the meaning of the word atleta.
• On page 6, find the word that means almost the same as “capacidad física.”
• The author most likely wrote this book to

Jim Thorpe tal vez fue el atleta más importante del siglo
pasado. Fue una estrella del fútbol americano, del béisbol, del
atletismo y también de otros deportes.
3
Jim Thorpe nació en 1887 en Oklahoma. Tuvo una vida
difícil y dejó la escuela varias veces. Finalmente, su padre lo
envió a la Escuela Carlisle Indian. Era una de las pocas
escuelas en las que un indio americano podía obtener una
educación universitaria en esa época.
4
Jim nunca había competido en deportes antes de llegar a
Carlisle. Ya en esa escuela, un día vio a varios estudiantes
intentando el salto de altura.
