Pauses - Pauses are temporary stops or breaks in something.
Gestures - Gestures are physical movements made with the hands, arms and other body parts.

Common misconception
Pupils speak too fast.
Pupils can use note cards to remind them when to pause for emphasis and to control speed.
Adding a speaking and listening game at the start of this lesson where you can analyse how the pupils are speaking to an audience would be a good way to begin to get the class to think about what makes an effectively delivered speech.
