"Piles" homework

Just a reminder, for tonight's HW,7th and 8th graders are to generate 4 piles (or subtopics/categories) from your brainstorm list we worked on in class yesterday.  For each pile add 7-10 details; you will have to add on ideas that weren't necessarily on your original brainstorm list.   Bullets are fine; do not worry about paragraphs or sentences yet.  The goal here is to take a step towards organizing all those wonderful ideas you poured out - or EXPOUNDED - on the page yesterday.  At least fifteen minutes of in-class time was given to work on the HW so some of you might have finished.

6th Graders for Wednesday -- you will generate 4 piles (or subtopics/categories) from your brainstorm list we worked on in class Tuesday.  If you do not finish your piles in class, Wednesday's HW is to create 4 piles each with 7-10 details added to each; you will have to add on ideas that weren't necessarily on your original brainstorm list.  Bullets are fine; do not worry about paragraphs or sentences yet.  The goal here is to take a step towards organizing all those wonderful ideas you poured out - or EXPOUNDED - on the page yesterday.
