Since you're a native French speaker, its not like your professors or anyone else expects you to be fluent in English. And I wouldn't worry about your accent--I'd imagine that there will be plenty of people who like it!
Basically, since its part of the grade you just have to make the effort. Even if you don't express yourself as articulately as you'd like just keep in mind that you speak English better than 99% of your classmates speak French!
Good luck!!
