This resource is a structured teaching and revision PowerPoint on performance skills in theatre, designed to help students understand, apply, and write about vocalisation and physicalisation clearly and accurately. It begins by defining performance skills and explaining why they are effective in theatre, emphasising their role in communication, storytelling, audience engagement, and theatrical style. The resource then breaks performance skills into two main areas: vocalisation (including pitch, tone, volume, pace, pause, accent, and clarity) and physicalisation (including posture, gesture, movement, facial expression, body language, eye contact, proxemics, levels, and stillness). Each skill is clearly explained with practical examples to show how actors use these choices to convey character and emotion. A key strength of the resource is its use of full sentence models, which demonstrate how to name the skill, describe the choice, and explain its effect on the audience—a structure that is especially useful for written drama responses and exams. The resource also includes exam-style responses, with annotated examples that highlight effective use of terminology and detailed analysis, helping students see what high-quality answers look like in practice. Overall, this resource is a student-friendly, exam-focused guide that supports both practical performance work and written evaluation, making it particularly suitable for KS3, GCSE, or BTEC drama students who need clear language, examples, and structured practice.

This PowerPoint presentation is designed for secondary school and college students with ADHD, with the aim of building understanding, self-awareness, and confidence. It explains ADHD in a clear and relatable way, helping students make sense of their diagnosis while recognising their strengths. The presentation introduces practical tools, methods, and evidence-based strategies to support independent study, organisation, and focus, while also encouraging positive self-belief and resilience. By the end, students will be better equipped to work with their ADHD, rather than against it, and to approach learning with greater confidence and control.

I created a 7 week SOW in preparation for lockdown but can be very easily adapted for classroom based work. Radio plays includes a lot of individual work, easy to keep social distanced and can be taught in a classroom as apposed to a drama studio (but can be taught in a studio). I hope you enjoy and it comes in handy!
