<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>So I’m absolutely terrified of public speaking, and the fact that I have social anxiety doesn’t help at all. School starts in two days for me. Just how much public speaking is involved in this class? What were some of your public speaking projects?</p>
<p>Also, what did you think about the class in general?</p>
<p>AP English for me wasn’t a lot of actual individual public speaking, aside from a poetry competition we had and our class discussions. It isn’t too bad if you prepared the night before and know exactly what points you’re going to bring up. If your Lang class happens to have a lot of class presentations, just make your presentation really conversational and informal - whenever I made presentations in whatever class, I basically “presented” it to one person in class that I knew and was friends with. For instance, a good friend of mine sat in the front row in AP World, and whenever I had presentations, I would periodically just look at him while I was talking and it made the whole ordeal a bit more bearable.</p>
<p>Honestly, in AP English, you dont really learn how to write well, you just learn how to criticize other people’s writing in a 5 paragraph essay</p>
<p>^ Accurate.</p>
