Victory Press' Web site also features a lesson plan written by
home-school teacher Terrie Bittner. The plan includes links to
history lessons about China, Disney, Mu Lan and other famous women
in history.
"I think history provides a good basis for any subject you want
to teach," says Bittner, who has her own education Web site for
home-school teachers.
Hu encourages teachers to take advantage of the Chinese New Year
to introduce their students to Chinese culture, whether with the
story of Mu Lan or through arts and crafts and other activities.

Magnolia Junior High School seventh-grader Marcia McGuire proved
last week that the spirit of Mulan is alive and well in the
Chino Valley.
Marcia, a Chino resident, was named the grand prize winner in
Victory Press's national essay contest March 22nd for her essay
on her grandmother. The paper compared her grandmother's spirit
to the 2,000 year-old legend of Mulan.
