I'm trying to write a Graduation speech...?
596620
Don't stress too much.  I've been to zillions of graduations and most of the speeches are copycat of each other.  They talk about how far they've come, what special memories they share, and how everything will be different in the future.\n\nIt's very difficult to write something new.  If you're trying to be creative, why not write a Top Ten List of some sort.  At least try to get a laugh so they won't zone out on you completely.\n\nEither way, make it short.  Don't rattle on forever.  They'll remember more of a one minute speech than a 10 minute speech.

1. Turn your speech into an outline\n2. Make it really short and to the point\n3. Turn each outline item into one 3x5 card, where your notes should be large and highly legible.\n4. Practice, practice, practice. In fact, practice at least 3 times.\n5. Time yourself. You will make more impact if you come up to the audience and said something like, "I am going to spend less than four minutes to tell you about..."

There are literallly thousands of resources on the web that have complete information about writing a thesis (including how to write the thesis statement). Here's one of MANY:\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_thesis.html\n\n(did you even try searching?)\n\nAlso, you are at least the FOUR HUNDREDTH person to ask this on Yahoo Answers. Here's a link.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=ArZr6Oh1ATWr9oUKlbWPc1cnzKIX?p=thesis+statement&scope=&mc=&fltr=_en&tab=0&asktime=&st=1\n\nWhat good is this database if people don't even take advantage of the questions already asked and answered hundreds of times?

Its always good to break the ice with a joke or witty remark. Dont worry about being nervous and shaky, if you are doing a speech for school everyone knows what you feel like. Be your natural self - dont try to be extremely proper or news anchorman like. Just be yourself, study what you wanna say, so you dont have to use to many notes. Use gestures and mimik where appropriate.

Well I would put the infor for the first date of graduation first.  skip a couple of lines and then put the other date next.\nIf you want to personalize it for each son put some kind of clip art that describes each son next to their info.

Try to get it done after you get home from school so it's done and out of the way. You should always use legible writing.

I think you should go with "Kings in Castles" by Michael Tolcher...the lyrics are phenomenally appropriate.\nhttp://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaeltolcher/kingsincastles.html\n\nHowever, this site has a great list of graduation songs:  http://www.teachers.net/gazette/JUL03/images/gradsongs.pdf#search='graduation%20songs'

Write your own speech!  If your teacher cares even the slightest bit, he or she will be able to tell you are plagerizing!!!\n\nI'm deeply sorry for my rash answer.  I aparently had no idea that someone could use a free speech to give them ideas for their own original speech.  I suppose my mind IS limited in this manner because I am an English major and have never taken a formal speech class.  Just please be very careful, because colleges are cracking down on plagerism.  Many of my classmates are very scared of getting caught even for things they don't do on purpose.  It's a very tricky line that is easy to cross, so be careful.\n\nAgain, I am sorry for assuming you were going to turn in the free speech.  I may have been taking out opinions on you that I have of other people who use those free paper web sites.  I don't know of any good sites for that purpose, but I'm sure typing in "free speech" in google would do the trick for you.  I'm sorry for offending you.  Thank you for your advice about biting open the possibly cancerous lump in my lip.  I hope you don't mind if I don't take that advice.\n\nGood luck on your speech.

Be unique and let your writing speak for itself. Write a paper giving your opinion on a controversial matter or a hot topic in your school or community. Then either hang it up or pass it out at your school - campaigning with something like "Vote for me - School Journalist" or something similar to that.  Good Luck.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! \n\nI would recommend that you start off by a quote or saying that you have followed/led your life by. Then follow it up by citing examples, anecdotes, and situations in which that saying helped get you to where you are today.\n\nDo not make your speech a "Thank You" note to your family and other loved ones. Yes, do thank them, but do not make them your primary focus. Remember that you are a representative of your class, so try to include everyone in your speech in some way. Does that make sense?\n\nAlso, do not talk solely about yourself and your achievements. Talk about the different successes that the class has experienced as a whole. Mention things such as different events that were held at the school, obstacles that the school has had to overcome during your 4 years there, and victories you all have experienced (including scholastic achievements, such as test scores).\n\nWell, that will give you a start. I helped my students with their speeches while I taught high school, so good luck and be very proud of your accomplishments! Way to go!

Before or after your presentation, you could distribute some simple (but yes, make it attractive as well) flyers / pamphlets to your audience.. It helps them know that you've put in a lot of effort to your presentation and that you're really interested for them to know what you've got to present to them.. That was what my groupmates and I did for our final year project's presentation and we got an A for it! The panel of lecturers liked it a lot! The other students did not have such flyers for their presentation, so that was advantageous to us as well..\n\nPresent your points and speak with the fullest confidence you can(but not arrogantly, as though you know everything - it's a turn off).. That's the most important - confidence.. Also, give the right body language (hand gestures, etc) and do not speak in mono-tones.. Speak clearly and loud enough for your audience to hear you as well.. Maintain good eye contact to your audience too, so that you can keep their attention focused on your presentation.. Rehearse a bit of all your important lines the day before, so that you will be fully prepared on what you want to say for the presentation.. Use proper English (I assume your presentation is going to be in English) with the correct wordings and grammar (I'm sure you've got all these taken care of).. \n\nOh yeah, since you've got killer presentation slides, try your best not to read "everything" from the slides - or it will kinda defeat the purpose of having killer presentation slides anyway.. \n\nTowards the end of your presentation, perhaps you could also present a demo (if relevant) to your audience - it helps them see the practical side of what you've been trying to convey to them earlier.. Make the demo interesting and do it creatively.. =) Your audience will like it.. \n\nFinally, do dress well for your big day and all the best for your presentation!

Here's an outline...add your own phrasing and word choices:\n--Gratitude for the opportunity to learn\n--Anticipation and the hope for positive chances in the future\n--Appreciation of the friends and associations made during the time in college\n--Request for guidance and maintaining open eyes and hearts for opportunity in the future\n\nYou want to make the opening and closing VERY generic... Start with a simple, "L-rd..." and go straight into the above. At the end, make it a simple "Amen."
