First, ask yourself if you believe you truly deserve it. Have you always turned in your homework, stayed attentive in class, asked meaningful questions, respected the teacher, participated in activities/labs, etc.? If you think so, then what you should do is either send your teacher an email or ask in person. I doubt either is more preferable over the other, but in person always helps with the sincerity.

Don’t come off as desperate/begging, but don’t be too demanding/forceful either. Tell him the problem with your grade, and how you believe you have been a good enough student for him to consider raising the grade. It’s important that you ask for a special extra credit assignment - anything - that would raise your grade up to an A, or any other requirement that the teacher can think of. Convincing him that you would do anything to deserve the grade, rather than receive it for free, will help him reconsider.
