Chicken Big is one of my most favourite books. Its funny and entertaining about a very big chicken and how size has its advantages.
Here are two project ideas:
Project One:
Materials

Practice drawing chickens. We discuss proportions and and after that its up to the student to choose their favourite part of the story and recreate it as a painting.
Project Two:

- Oil pastels
- 8×11 paper
Guided drawing lesson of a chicken. Here is a quick stylized chicken video. Cover the entire page with colour.
