๐ŸŽค Summit: The Interview Reporter

Aylin spends a day interviewing people in her grandmother's town, and the crew learns to report every answer accurately. Students revise the backshift map, master say versus tell, and follow the four-move Reporter's Method. They finish by interviewing a partner and writing a 50โ€“80-word interview report.
