Object:
A grade-school or junior-high diploma
When I graduated from grade school, I received this piece of
paper. Does anybody know what this piece of paper is called? (Let
them answer.) It is called a "diploma." How do you suppose the
school decided to give me one of these? (Let them answer.) Why?
(Let them answer.) A diploma is a mark of authority. It shows
that I have learned a certain amount of material and gives me the
authority to go on to the next level. You will also get a diploma
because of your learning. When you have a diploma from your
school, then you can go on to more schooling.
