1. Speaking and listening

Attentive listening · Speaking in front of others · Conversation and communication models · Drama methods for interpreting texts

• Presentation Skills: Speaking to an Audience – A good presentation is planned for its audience and purpose, has a clear opening, body and closing, uses simple slides that support (not replace) the speaker, and is delivered with a clear voice, eye contact and good timing. Practice turns nerves into confidence.
• Drama: Elements, Stagecraft and Performance – Drama is a story told by actors who become characters and act it out in front of an audience. Every drama has characters who want something, a conflict when those wants clash, a plot that builds tension to a climax and then resolves, dialogue, a setting and a theme. On stage, actors use voice and body, and the production adds lighting, set, costume and sound.

• Media Literacy – Media literacy is the skill of reading, questioning and creating media: news, ads, videos, posts, films and games. Every media text is made by someone, for a purpose, for an audience, using forms, conventions and techniques that shape how we feel. A media-literate person checks the source, evidence, other coverage and the original before believing or sharing, notices bias and filter bubbles, and makes their own media responsibly.
