Well, this morning, I just got a call from the high school that is near my home... what they wanted? The Scholar Commission (I don't know if that's how it called in english but it's the basically the Mangement Departement of a region schools) had my resume and asked me to do a teacher replacement this afternoon... I said yes... I'm 23, got a Undergrad in urban Planning and never ever like to speak in public... got any advice...??? LOL!
I'd advise you to stay calm... ;) , Well I've no idea what class you're supposed to do. But I'd try to research the subject first. Then I'd give a powerpoint presentation with possibly some media material (by which I mean some kind of video clip that will explain the subject matter), while trying to have as much interaction with the students as is possible.
Well that's how I'd go at it,
Good luck, hope you manage!! :)
Act like you know what you're doing. Those kids don't know anything and you're the smart one. The worst thing you can do is walk in acting nervous; kids can smell your fear, and all hell will break loose. Walk in confident and/or like a despot and you'll be fine.
Kids are pretty much like dogs, if they sense you're uncomfortable, they're gonna pounce. Just try play it cool, easier then it sounds, I know -_-
Regardless, good luck!
This is more of a topic for your blog. However, I will point you int he direction of a site that deals with public speaking and tips on it.
