Let's meet the paragraph hand (hand up)
Let's meet the paragraph hand
We all want to know how a paragraph goes
Let's meet the paragraph hand
We start with a topic sentence (thumb up)
We start with a topic sentence
We want to find out what the paragraph's about
We start with a topic sentence
We write three detail sentences (next 3 fingers up one-at-a-time)
We write three detail sentences
We only describe what the topic guides
We write three detail sentences
We end with a closing sentence (pinky up)
We end with a closing sentence
We restate the start, or our feelings impart
We end with a closing sentence
We give ourselves all a high five (slap!)
We give ourselves all a high five (slap!)
Our fingers can rest 'cause we've done our best (hand down)
We give ourselves all a high five (slap!)
Ending:
Our fingers can rest 'cause we've done our best (hand down)
We give ourselves all a high five (slap!)
