Look Outside Is Coming to Consoles
How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
How can “available” and “coming soon” both apply?
Correct answer: B — They can refer to different platforms
Why: Different editions can have different dates.
Clue in the story: A game can already exist on one platform while another version is still planned. Imagine a player who owns a PC and another who owns a console. The same game title does not give both players the same release date.
What should a console owner check?
Correct answer: C — The release date for their platform
Why: The relevant platform determines availability.
Clue in the story: A game can already exist on one platform while another version is still planned. Imagine a player who owns a PC and another who owns a console. The same game title does not give both players the same release date.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Explain the release timeline to a hypothetical console owner.
One possible answer: The PC version already exists, while the console edition is scheduled for October 30. Check the edition for the console you own.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
