The crew publishes issue one of The Summit Times, and now your class opens its own news desk. Students recap the backshift cheat sheet, run the quote-to-report pipeline in a live press conference, and judge every report as accurate or misquoted. The task ends with a published 50โ80-word news report containing at least three reported statements.
