Remember A stranger is only a friend you haven't met.
Someone once told me when I started doing some public speaking to just imagine the
audience in their underwear. It doesn't work and can actually make it MORE scary!
Don't try that one!!!!
Depending on the space, you may set up a table and have everyone gather around the table
so that you can "teach" that way. Have samples of writing (ones that genuinely
need transcribing --kill two or three birds with one stone!!!) and everyone work
together.
