ok just like you when it comes to public speaking, it is not my thing either. Well last year i had a science project and i did great, i got the highest grade in the whole grade and i didnt slur my speech or anything. I wish i could say the same this year...i blew it infront of everyone and got really nervous I ended up getting a much lower grade then last year & i was dissapointed--- i would of done better but the thing that blow it was my persontaion. Why did i do so good last year but not this year? Because i practiced alot. ALOT. Myself and infront of family [like 2 people only] I am a singer and i think i would of did better if i could of sang like you are. Well whatever you are doing practice in front of family and by yourself --- this will make it much easier to sing infront of your class.
RELAX, TAKE IT EASY, and most of all have FUN when you are singing/presenting and make sure you KNOW what you're talking about. No worry......good luck!

Did you ever see the video of Elton John doing an improvised song based on the words of an oven manual?

on YouTube
there are two videos....right now my flash player is down, so I can't run them to tell which video is better but the long version comes under two titles

Elton John Oven Manual Song
or
Elton John sings about microwave ovens

I don't think you should worry how "silly" you sound.... it might be hilarious to hear what you have written...

so....relax and enjoy yourself !!
