I need to memorize a story for my AP English class to tell in front of my classmates and judges. My problem is I’m not good in public speaking and I don’t have a story. I need help finding a good story that is entertaining and not too long for me to memorize it, but at the same time it has to be good beacuse it is an AP class.
I would also appreciate it if you gave me tips of how to overcome my "stage fright" thanks you!!
First, find something to talk about that you are passionate about. Find a story that means something to you. We all have stories that we love for one reason or another. Green Eggs and Ham is about someone who never gives up. Horton Hatches and Egg is about responsibility. Find something that you really like and read it over and over and over. Type it in 24 font and double space and read it until you know it like the back of your hand. Then, make the story come to life by giving each character their own voice. Don’t just tell the story, live the story while you are telling it. One way to lessen your stage fright is by knowing the story my heart. Remember, you are entertaining the rest of the class. If you mess something up, so what ?? The world is not coming to an end and you are human. Ham it up and enjoy it!

I really can’t think of a story. but, to help you with your stage fright, don’t look the class in the eyes. Look out the window now and then. And remember they can’t hurt you. And if they are talking about you they are leaving others alone. And the more they talk about you the more popular you will be come. How about a story on a tv or news item you have read. It is hard to think of one, don’t know the age group. Little ones do Little Red Riding Hood. Or the Three Little Pigs. Good Luck!
