In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is easy to feel nervous when you only began thinking about your subject the night before it's due. Begin preparing yourself as soon as you find out you will be speaking in front of your class. Start to think about what points you want to include in your speech, and how you want to structure your time. You don't need to have your speech memorized weeks before the due date. Simply start thinking about your timeline. Set aside a little time every day to work on your presentation. Depending upon the type of speech, you may not need to memorize it at all, or you may be allowed to use note cards to help you keep your place. Try to have a subject and a general outline of what points you want to cover developed a day or two after you get the assignment. Then, take 20 or 30 minutes each day to do a little research and write out part of your speech. It may seem counter-intuitive, but you don't want to read off a script when you speak. Instead, make notes that outline your main points, and provide one or two pieces of data for each point. If you can, print this on an outline that will fit on a single sheet of paper. That way, you don't have to worry about out-of-order pages or notecards. If you are talking about historical events, for example, have an outline where the headings give the name and date of each event. Then, have one point under that with the major players, and one point briefly summarizing what happened. Don't read directly from the outline. Just use it as a guideline to help you remember key points and keep your structure. It's there to help you if you get lost, but it shouldn't be a script. Once you have your points researched and a script or outline prepared, start rehearsing your speech. Begin by rehearsing to your reflection while you memorize your information. Once you have your points memorized enough that you don't need a script, ask some friends or a teacher if you can practice delivering your points to them. Practice at least 2-3 times each day. The better you know what you want to say, the more comfortable you will feel the day you have to say it. When you practice for others, use their feedback as a learning opportunity. Remember that they are not trying to make you feel bad. They are just helping you find places where you can improve your facts or presentation. Whether you are speaking in your classroom or in your school's theater, try to look at the room at least once before you make your points. Think about where you will be relative to your audience. Find out if you will have access to tools like a podium, and start planning where you want them. This is especially important if you are speaking in a room other than your classroom. Unfamiliar environments can make nerves worse. You can lessen this by becoming familiar with the environment before you have to speak there. Even if you don't think looking at the room will help, do it anyway. It is easier to relax in a place that is at least a little familiar.
Summary: Start planning your speech well in advance. Make notes regarding your primary points. Rehearse your speech until you have your points memorized. Look at the room in advance.
