Buried Onions Final Project

The final project for Buried Onions was a prompt choice. Five prompts were offered, and students were directed to choose three.

If you were not able to get this assignment in prior to exams, you can download a copy HERE.

Making Prediction Trees

At the end of chapter two in Buried Onions by Gary Soto, Eddie's aunt comes to visit to him to ask for his help in person. Eddie thought she was bringing tortillas as her way of enlisting his help, but this time she brought him a gun.

Make a "Prediction Tree" on your own paper that you will use to consider the possibilities for what could happen next. The trunk of your tree will read: "Eddie's aunt gives him gun." You will fill in the branches with all of the options that you can think of.

Class Novel

We have been reading a class novel, Buried Onions by Gary Soto. This novel must be read - in its entirety - by Monday morning.

Most students have not been able to keep up just by reading at school. If you have not had the opportunity to purchase a hard copy of the book, you can download a digital version HERE for free.

They can also be checked out from the library, or I have a few to check out in the room.

The first novel-linked assignment is a graphic novel. Instructions for this can be viewed here: Graphic Novel In-Class Project.
