I'm generally not a shy person, but when you put me up in front of my whole entire class...things change. I either turn really red, forget everything, start shaking, etc. I was absent, so I couldn't help my partner with a project and the day I went back, the teacher told me that I had to do it by myself. Now, I have to go up in front of my class and present an African Fable with a moral that I made up. It sounds so stupid and plus we have to MEMORIZE it! She won't even let us use our paper, which is going to make me even more nervous since I have nothing to hold. We also have to draw a picture and I'm not the best drawer, so that's just going to make it even more embaressing. Everyone else in my class had a partner, but since I'm by myself...blah. I don't know what to do. I don't want to be so nervous about this tomorrow morning. Is there any way that I can calm down before the presentation and not act and feel so nervous? (link)
Oh, I have the same exact problem. I have to present a Macbeth soliloquy tomorrow in front of the whole class because I didn't do it on Friday because I totally lost it and froze up.

This is how I'm going to try and overcome it:

I've been trying to focus on the material rather than 'HOLY SHIT LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE!'... I hope that works for me tomorrow.
