keep eye contact - very important
use gestures and open body language rather than having your hands at your sides
act as if whatever your talking about is the most interesting thing you have ever heard of and be really enthusiastic

is it on a specific thing or can you pick what it's on, if you can pick, choose something very unique that your teacher or no-one else in your class would know anything about and it doesn't matter if you have your facts straight or not, just act like you do and they will be bewildered
, i did it last year in english class

Thanks alot! This might come in very usefull... But don't you think that over waveing with my hands might give the impression that i am running out of words?

Lol, it shouldn't unless you're doing something crazy like waving your hands over your head the entire time.

Just open your mouth and let the feeling come to you..
Words will flow like heavenly nectar from your lips, and every gesture you make with your hands will make your audience startle. If you get caught empty handed, swallow, take a deep breath, and start on the next subject or continue where you left off, if there was still something to share.
That's how I do it, and I have yet to receive less than a B. Jay (my teacher 2 years ago) told me I was very good at it.

quick word from me, need bed soon.
just speak naturally, just look past ppl if you cant look them in the eyes. try and speak loud enough so everyone can hear, you'd lose points or w/e if youre only a murmor. generally when doing an oral presentation, i always had topics to talk on that interested me somewhat.
ill say some more tomorro. tired... bed... now... *collapses*
