How do I write the introduction for my speech for 5th Grade Gradation?

A good speech will start with a meaningful and catchy introduction. Many people like to begin graduation speeches with meaningful quotations.  You can choose an inspirational quote that you think will inspire your classmates.  There are many of these on the internet.  I have included a link.  Choose something that relates to your class, and that your classmates will appreciate.  Then, explain how it is relevant in your speech.  

It is also a good idea to introduce yourself, in case some of the audience members do not know you.  If you are giving the speech because you are the class president or something like that, you should also state your role.  A graduation speech should be humorous but direct.  You might want to tell a tasteful (appropriate) joke that will mean something to your audience.  Starting off strong with a hook (catchy beginning) will make people more interested in listening to you.

Your introduction should be related to the rest of your speech.  People will be very emotional and you do not want to talk too long, but your audience will like it if you are funny and interesting.  You will want to talk about the past and the future.  Share some important milestones that your class has accomplished and what they meant to you.  You might want to consider field trips and projects.  You can also talk about what is ahead, and where your classmates are going.
