Look Outside Sets an October30 Console Date

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 worksheet

A simple 15–20-minute lesson

  1. Before reading · 2 minutes

    Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  1. Which edition had been released before this announcement?

    Correct answer: C — The PC version

    Why: The second paragraph identifies the already-available PC edition.

    Clue in the story: The game previously launched on PC. The newly announced date concerns the console editions, whose release remains scheduled rather than completed.

  2. What does October30 describe?

    Correct answer: A — A planned console release, not a completed launch

    Why: The console launch is scheduled for a future date.

    Clue in the story: Devolver Digital has announced October30 for Look Outside on four PlayStation and Nintendo consoles. RPG Site reported the announcement on October23.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Explain why an announcement is not the same as a launch.

One possible answer: The PC game is available. The console editions are planned for October30.

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.
