Every Reviewer Read a Report: One Report or Several?
By the end: I can make quantifier relationships explicit without inventing sameness or difference.

Choose a short recording.
A possible shared object
Every reviewer read a report can describe a situation with one report read by everyone. To assert that shared report clearly, say so.
There was one report that all three reviewers read.
All three read the same report.
A reviewer-by-reviewer requirement
The sentence can also leave each reviewer’s report unspecified. This does not require different reports; some or all could coincide.
Each reviewer read at least one report.
The reports may have been the same or different.
Do not add a contrast
Different, the same and a different one each add information. Use them only when the source establishes that information. A clear rewrite should preserve what remains open.
Each read a report, but we do not know which ones.
Each read a different report from the other two.
A partially shared set is a third possibility
Maya and Lee share a report, while Noor has a different one.
No common report for all three is supplied by these assignments.
Guided practice
Say or write your answer first. Compare form and meaning with the model.
1. Does Each reviewer read a report require three distinct reports?
Compare a model and explanation
No.
The reports may coincide.
2. Does Everyone read the same report mean nobody read any other report?
Compare a model and explanation
No.
The common report does not exclude additional reading.
3. Make the shared report explicit: A, B and C all read Report X.
Compare a model and explanation
All three reviewers read Report X.
A named object removes the relevant scope uncertainty.
4. Preserve uncertainty: Each reviewer read at least one report, titles unknown.
Compare a model and explanation
Every reviewer read a report, but the source does not identify the reports.
Equivalent wording must leave sameness and difference open.
5. Repair: A read X; B read X; C read Y. Summary: Everyone read the same report.
Compare a model and explanation
A and B read X; C read Y.
The provided assignments do not establish a report shared by all.
6. State an established one-to-one allocation: three readers, three separate reports, one per reader.
Compare a model and explanation
Each reader read a different report from the other two.
The added distinctness is licensed by these facts.
7. Identify the extra claim in Everyone read a different report compared with Everyone read a report.
Compare a model and explanation
Different rules out everyone sharing the same report in the intended distinctness reading.
The original alone does not rule that out.
8. Can one report read by all satisfy Each reviewer read at least one report?
Compare a model and explanation
Yes.
Each reviewer has met the minimum reading requirement.
A short conversation
Listen first, then open the transcript when useful.
Open the conversation transcript
A: Your summary says they read different reports.
B: The source only says every reviewer read a report.
A: Then we don’t know whether the reports overlapped?
B: Right. We should leave that open unless we get the titles.
Listening checks
Listen to each extract or open its transcript. These three questions have a separate score.
Mastery quiz
Choose the best answer for each situation. The score is out of eight.
Use it in your own words
Speaking 1
Describe one shared-object situation and one established different-object situation.
Reveal a possible response
All three watched the same clip. In a different task, each watched a different clip from the other two.
Success check: Mark the situations separately and make sameness or difference explicit.
Speaking 2
Explain why each chose a book does not automatically mean different books.
Reveal a possible response
The wording allows their choices to overlap. We need more information before saying the books were different.
Success check: Do not replace one unsupported certainty with another.
Put it all together
Three fictional students each read an article, but titles were not recorded. Give a faithful summary, two possible compatible scenarios and one claim you must not add.
Reveal a possible response
Each student read an article. They may all have read the same one, or they may have read different ones. We cannot claim either arrangement actually occurred from this record alone.
Success check: Separate compatibility from established fact.
