Instructional Ideas
  • Add to a reading unit or language arts assessment
  • Have learners find another article that interests them, and work on writing questions about vocabulary words
  • Because the article was written in 2015, consider supplementing it with an updated list of opening weekend earnings 
Classroom Considerations
  • Several of the vocabulary words and phrases are written in British vernacular, which may be confusing for English learners in another country
  • Answer keys are available at the bottom of the second page, so you may want to remove them before distributing the assignment
  • Star Wars enthusiasts may be disappointed at the lack of Star Wars-related information in the article
