Conquering Stage Fright

Dear students,

We hope you are doing well.

This week our goal is to combat stage fright (at least start doing it). This is why we are asking you to do the following activities:

1) Challenge yourself
Make a list of 10 social things that for some reason you find challenging to do. For example, “Go to a social event with a friend and initiate a conversation with one person you don’t know,” or “When riding a bus, sit down next to a passenger and say ‘What a DAY!’” It is challenging, but it is definitely worth it. And after all, it is fun too.

Then complete one of them and post a report in your blog. You may want to share some evidences as well, such as photos or videos, for example.

2) Feel your body
Read p.115 in your course book and think about your physiological reactions while feeling stage fright. Choose one and describe it in your blog.

3) Choose the strategy
Read p.118 in your course book and pick three recommendations how to overcome stage fright. Describe these strategies in your blog and tell how you are going to use them.

Have a good rest of the week.

This task is due October, 15th.
