Don't see what the problem is. I did ones on books before. But my last one was on a self-report. Was pretty long like 40 minutes of reading. Its the lecturer thats assessing you at the end of the day. Just think that the rest of people in the class are going to have to do the exact same thing as you standing infront of the class so at the end of the day everyones in the same boat.

cue cards, don't waffle, don't rush, know your subject - if you blank don't panic! take a sip of water and a deep breath.

Take 3 laxatives and a sleeping pill. You'll relax then.

If you know the topic well - don't panic - chill - it'll come...

And be yourself - forget that it's an oral presentation - pretend like your just really pasionate about the subject and your just telling your mates how absolutely awesome it all is (though of course don't go as far as being all like "listen-up homies, 'dis book is da schiznitz now, init...")

Get straight into your first sentence asap and the panic will subside within 20 seconds when you realise the class aren't going to pelt you with rotten tomatoes. The first 20 seconds are key - fluff them and you could end up with a full on panic attack. Use visual aids like a laptop presentation on a projector or whatever to help the audience AND yourself through the details: it's like your giant cue card.

If you're real nervous, although it's unprofessional, focus your presentation on one member of the audience who doesn't freak you out.

Bring a drink. If you suddenly can't remember what the hell your supposed to stay, stop and have a drink. Gives you 20 seconds to think and is much better than standing there going 'er, umm, well, I can't remember, gimmie a sec.'

Practice constantly talking out loud about your subject. Growing up my dad was in medical school, and I would hear him at night reciting/practicing, and would think he was pretty silly. He kept a better than 4.0 through 10 years of med school. It worked wonders for myself later when I had to give instruction in the Army, just take about 20 minutes and practice talking out loud as if you were not having a conversation, but actually teaching the subject. It may seem silly, but most people have never done it...usually when you talk everyday people are having a conversation and giving you feedback.

If you want to really see this method in action, watch drill sergeant trainees yelling at trees for hours on end.

Public speaking is like any other motor-memory skill, the more you practice, the more comfortable and natural you'll be when it comes "game time." When you practice, you'll see its not much different whether the audience is actual people or just the crap sitting around your bedroom.

If you do use "powerpoint" (where's the power? what's the point?) for goodness sakes don't just repeat what is written on the screen, instead us it to reinforce what you are saying!

Consider yourself lucky, I had to make my own oral presentation in which I chose to do a creative subject involving a 15 min long monologue.. I never get nervous though, I was doing it infront of my friends so I got all the support I needed.

What he said. Also, is this high school? If so, chances are most people are zoned out and not even paying attention
