Mentor Text Lesson: The Chicken Chasing Queen of Lamar County by Janice N. Harrington

Janice N. Harrington’s THE CHICKEN CHASING QUEEN OF LAMAR COUNTY first came to my attention in 2007 when I was on the Cybils Fiction Picture Book Committee.   Since 2008, I’ve been using THE CHICKEN CHASING QUEEN OF LAMAR COUNTY in my classroom.

Today, I’m adding a mentor text lesson plan of this book including ideas for teaching onomatopoeia, similes, and unique word choice.
