Important

Pick an object: a person, place, or thing, and tell about its important attributes. Write a paragraph in which you describe the object's attributes and conclude with its most important one.
For example: a pen. Pens come in all colors. Some pens have erasers and some don't. You can use a pen to write letters to your friends in other cities, states, and countries. You could even use a pen to write your Paragraph a Week draft paragraph. The important thing, then, about a pen is that you write with it.
