🕵️ Summit: The Misquote Mystery
The school newsletter prints words Sam never said, and the crew follows the evidence to find out how a quote went wrong. Students run three misquote checks — verb backshift, people and time shifts, and the whole meaning — while reading a mystery for an implied idea. They finish by writing the 50–80-word correction that sets the record straight.
