Just make sure to keep looking around the room when you talk. You don't have to look anyone in the eye, just make it seem like you're looking at people. For example, while you're talking, look at the clock for ten seconds, then look at a poster for another ten, then look at the top of someone's head, etc. As long as you look at random objects, it will take the focus off of the fact that everyone is listening. Plus, remember that you're not the only one in that class that gets nervous. They know how you feel and they're not going to judge you if you slip up a few words. The key is to practice practice practice your speech until it's completely memorized and then you can focus more on staying calm.

look over everyones heads, like not up up up, but just right over their heads, so it looks like your looking at them, but your really not.. or just look at the teacher, i have to give speeches in teen leadership, and i just look over everyone, and im fine!.. good luck, hope i helped<3
