How to get over my nerves?

Practice what you're going to say. Practice until you can't get it wrong. It's ok to feel nervous, it's actually better to feel nervous because that means you want to do well. Just take a deep breath, if it's really bad let the teacher know, it would help with shaking in your voice. As long as you follow requirements, it shouldn't matter if you're nervous or not anyway! Good luck :)

i guess just try not to look at the class. just focus on the teacher as if you are talking to her one on one about your book report. also, be confident. don't let anyone know your nervous or scared of giving your book talk. just speak clearly, be confident and im sure you'll be fine:))

Stand straight, practise and pretend that your talking to your friend.
