💬 Summit: He Said That…
The Reported module opens with the two moves every reporter needs: choosing between say and tell, and stepping each verb one step back into the past. Sam’s voice-note report of the crew call Priya missed models the grammar in a real story — with one secret hiding between the lines. Learners finish by writing a 50–80-word report of their own.
