More students gave speeches today, demonstrating to the class good gesturing techniques. The Eyes Have It, And They're All On You...and Your Gestures, is a descriptive and useful web article about the importance of gesturing. Ultimately, our goal is make gesturing natural, poignant, and powerful. Lest any of my students think they are alone in their frustration while practicing, watch this clip from the 1998 movie Elizabeth. Here Queen Elizabeth addresses rival clergy on a unified Church of England.
(Caution in viewing entire movie, Elizabeth's rise to the throne and fight to keep it was surrounded with intrigue, which the producers took no restraint in portraying.)

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
