Something that catches your audience's attention in a fun, creative way.
Addendum:Having taught public speaking to eighth graders, let me offer some suggestions:- Know your subject, be the expert. Be as familiar as you can with the topic on which you are doing your speech.
- Let the audience know you will have time at the end for questions. Ask yourself as many questions as you can about your topic--most others will ask the same questions.
- Remember to breathe. The people in your audience are your friends, and besides, as long as you are at the lectern, you own them.
- Check the related question linked below ("What are the symptoms of nervousness when public speaking?", and work through those issues. Remember you control your nervousness, not the other way around.
- Practice your speech, read it to a mirror. Read it to a tape recorder. Read it to your parents or siblings. Get feed back. Give them a list of those nervous ticks from #4 above and have them watch for them. When you have practiced it twenty or so times, you will know it.
- Now, just give your speech.
- Most importantly, have fun. If you are having fun, your audience will.
Comedian Louis Black used to do this bit when he started his show. He would walk out on stage with a cup of coffee. He pulled sugar and creamer packets from his pocket, and doctored the coffee. He pulled a stirrer from his pocket and stirred the coffee. As he was stirring, he looked up as if he had just noticed the audience, and asked, "What? Like you go right to work when you get to the office?" That is what you want to communicate, that sense of relaxed.
Be the one in control, not the one controlled.

What is a good fifth grade speech?
Do you mean ur a student and u hav to do a speech at the end of the school year? If you mean it like that then I think a good fifth grade speech should be hilarious, but serious at the same time. Because kids like me (I'm in fifth grade) love it when u can really understand us & not be the uptight teacher's pet or anything so if u mean it like this then u should just have some fun with it & a splash of seriousness OR... do you mean it like ur a student running for class president? If u mean it like this then it's pretty much like the 1st one. U should let the class know what u would improve and how u would help but u should also crack some jokes because when I was in 3rd grade we ran for class governor & my BFF won by being funny the whole way, but also saying tht she'd bring in candy :) Hope this helps ;)
