🏺 Horizon: Reading — The Discovery Report
The studio becomes a newsroom. Coach Deniz projects a shipwreck headline, the crew predicts the report before reading it, then mines its passive machinery: past, perfect and continuous passives plus the distancing patterns it is believed that… and is believed to have sunk. The lesson closes with the three-line summary discipline — the find, the belief, the future — practised until every word pays rent.
