Look Outside’s Console Editions Are Due Before Halloween

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. What is the existing release distinguished from the new plan?

    Correct answer: A — The PC version

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

    Clue in the story: Its PC edition is already available. The forthcoming console release should therefore be distinguished from both the original launch and current console availability.

  2. Which interpretation preserves the timing?

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

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

    Clue in the story: Look Outside is scheduled to launch on PS5, PS4, Switch and Switch 2 on October30, according to Devolver Digital’s announcement reported by RPG Site.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Summarise the timing without implying that the consoles already have the game.

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.
