I am not sure if you are asking for tips of fear of speaking or just tips on what to present. Speak about the newness of your first year. Tell about what you thought it would be like and what it was like. Give a few funny anecdotes.
I am including a response to a person who was afraid to speak in public. If this is not applicable, please disregard, sorry.
Check this out. You are afraid because you feel that you will be out of control and that you will be judged. No one likes to be judged.
Think this. First you are presenting. So you are IN control of the situation. Your audience is at your beck and whim. Set it up so that you control the whole time. Be very methodical when you present. I used to be scared like you. I got up and thought, this isn't so bad. Take a deep breathe, smile to yourself and think, you know what, these people are here and they will do as I ask. Think boring. when you stand there, listen to the audience, smile, look around, be silent, feel how good it is to be able to compart a little of yourself to others. Think, well here I am and this is gonna blow their minds ( and it will). Be dynamic, be confident because that is what you really are, you are yourself.
Prepare, prepare, practice before a mirror, before your pet, before anyone that will listen to you. Smpathize with your audience, it makes for better listeners. Remember that they really appreciate what you've got to say. Remember that what you have to say is important or you wouldn't be wasting their time. So again prepare.
We tend to want to contol the whole presentation. What about letting the audience help you out with the presentation. Let them know that you will be asking them to assist you with the presentation. Pass out the necessary material beforehand. This sets them up.
If you mess up, guess what, no one will know and really you can't mess up because you have set it up so that you will succeed. If you feel that you are going to "lose it" stop, look around and think, No way, I set this up and I am in control. They appreciate what I am doing.
Put a piece of non-sugary candy in your mouth to cause saliva to flow. Have a glass of water to drink, take your time, pace yourself, breathe, relax those shoulders, scan, be silent as necessary, be in control.
No for this fear, it can't happen now because you set it up, you control it and you will succeed!!
I had to present my dissertation in a conference with my audience being doctoral students and doctors being there just to judge and challenge my dissertation. With what I told you, no sweat. I did it and I did it well. So can you!! Move forward and let your audience know that you appreciate them for letting you be yourself and sharing something that is important to you. I look forward to hearing how it went... You do not need luck, cuz you're in complete control.See you have already won!!

Hi,
PowerPoint presentations are well-suited for graphs, pie charts and images. Using too many graphics in one slide can be confusing and unclear, however. For a more professional and cohesive slide show, use either photographs only or cartoons only, because using a mixture of drawn and photographed images can make your presentation feel cluttered and unprofessional. Graphics should always relate to and enhance the main objective of each slide. Avoid using noise effects or flashy entrances unless they are integral to the slide.
Always practice your speech to coordinate with the PowerPoint presentation. If possible, run through the entire slide show in the room of the presentation before your speech. You can check for graphics, colors and text issues before you are in front of an audience. Do not read from the PowerPoint slide show; it should function as a guide and as a speech enhancer.

It would help to know whom it is you are presenting to...your principal? Other teachers? University professors?
