I'm giving my first ever lecture on Monday - does anyone have any advice?

I've just recently finished my PhD and I'm giving my first lecture to 3rd year Psych students on Monday. I'm really nervous because I'm not a great public speaker! It's a 2 hour lecture and I've only ever given 10 minute presentations at conferences. Does anyone have any advice, dos or don'ts?

Here's a tip:

Arrive early and engage in some small talk with the first few students that pops in. If you manage to establish some kind of connection with any of them, the whole lecture will feel more intimate as a result - thus making it more relaxed and natural.
