Today, I am going to have to give a 6 minute speech in front of my class, using only 2 note cards, front side only. If it was in front of my English teacher only it wouldn't be a big deal, but the fact that it is in front of a whole class makes me a bit nervous. Anyway, do you guys have to give Speeches in school ever?

well, we had to present our work in front of the whole class sometimes.

once, i had to give a 3 minute presentation on anything of out choice in business studies. i brought no notes, only some pics of my holiday and then just bluffed my way through, i didn't even plan it or anything >< but it went ok. people asked me questions as well, but i managed, phew

I did, last year in Year 7. The guy I voted for School Council Rep ended up in a tie with me, so we had to write speeches.

I forgot :P

thing is, you may be really nervous on the inside, but you can hide it without realizing.

which is what i did, i kept moving my hands around and didn't stand still. people said i didn't look nervous, but realized i was when they noticed that i kept moving.

you could use the same method, only make it less obvious ^^
