The phrase \u201cGiving a presentation in front of my class\u201d is a participial phrase to which the subject \u201cI\u201d in the main clause is referred. It gives extra details on how the subject got to develop stage fright, information that was not yielded by the other categories. This is another participial phrase with \u2018giving\u2019 in the -ing form since it is created by using the present participle of a verb, it is an adjective in the sentence modifying a noun or a pronoun.
