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.
When does Netflix plan to release the show?
Correct answer: B — In 2028
Why: The opening paragraph gives 2028 as the planned release year; November 6 is the announcement date.
Clue in the story: Netflix announced a new Stranger Things show on November 6. It is called Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure. Netflix plans to release it in 2028.
What will be new in the show?
Correct answer: A — Its heroes, villains and setting
Why: The second paragraph lists new heroes, villains and a new setting.
Clue in the story: The story will take place in the 1950s. It will have new heroes, villains and a new setting.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Give the planned release year and explain when the story takes place.
One possible answer: Netflix plans to release the show in 2028. Its story takes place in the 1950s.
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.
Grammar to discuss
Will for a future story plan
The story will take place in the 1950s.
Will describes what the future show is planned to contain. The 1950s describe the fictional story’s setting, not its release date.
