Marksman Bryan Wrote:I had a 40 minute presentation on Moby D'ick (lolcensored) in 10th grade. I made the powerpoint/speech the weekend before (I presented on a Monday).
I had next to no public speaking skills, but my father taught me ^ that stuff and more since he gives presentations all the time.
You'll do fine as long as you practice what you will say and how to transition between topics.
I didn't have "spectacular" information, but I rocked the transitions/tying it in with the powerpoint. I feel like you could be speaking jibberish, but since most of the class doesn't pay attention anyway, as long as you're confident, no one will notice.
Just don't stress over it! Remember that most of your classmates probably aren't even paying attention.
40 minutes o-o' thats long...
I feel lucky considering my class is the only class to have a speech for 5 to 7 minutes, whereas all the other teachers are doing 9-11 minutes, 8-10 minutes, etc. Yeah I don't feel nervous because I'm in front of everyone, I know nearly everyone in the class personally and have known them for years now, I couldn't care less what they think... but yeah I have to follow an "outline" which is going to be a challenge, and I'm still trying to think of a clincher and an attention getter o-o'
Everyone knows Lamborghini is the best. Buy one. The End.
Heres my crappily done outline if anyone wants to take a look at it.
