Good Luck with your very interesting speech tonight James!Smile
I read it when you posted it on here, and as I said then, it is a subject I have no knowledge about, so everything you tell, makes me just more interested, being a curious history buff person!!!! (No, I did not write that, but same-ish, but it is what I feel)

Do not be nervous James.

When I went through my Preschool Teacher course (3 years long) I had very good "Method" teachers. I was very nervous about talking, even to my fellow students, but then one of them teachers gave me a few good tips, to handle the "stagefright":

*Your audience do not know what it is you are about to tell them, they do not have the knowledge, so even if YOU know, that perhaps you said something wrong, THEY DO NOT!  So just go on with it.
* If the first tip fails, Imagine your whole audience as a bunch of very cute yellow bathtub rubber ducks with orange little peckers, and that they have no clue what is going on, as yellow rubber ducks never does, and you are the one to fill them with information, for which they will be very happy about!!!!! (Well, it worked for me anywaySmile Especially imagining them as cute rubberducks made ME smile, so them watching me smile, they thought of me as a very positive person)

Tell us all about it when you get back home, please James!
