Presentation Preparation

For this week's homework you should be doing your "heavy" research. Going to the library, checking the Internet, interviewing people, doing polls, etc...

Everybody gets nervous speaking in front of a group. Next class we will do some exercises that will help build confidence and lessen the fear of speaking.

Watch the exercises this acting class does HERE. We will try both activities in our class too!

Also, please choose one question below and answer in the comments.

1. Why do you get nervous speaking in front of people?

2. Have you given a speech in front of a large crowd before? What was it like?

3. Do you have any ideas about how to prepare yourself before a speech so that you are not so nervous?

And remember - you should be informing yourself and talking to people about your topic this week!!!! Write me if you need help~
