Perhaps next time you need to specify 'no persons referenced in folk tales'. Most folk tales do originate from actual events.
The disney film Mulan was actually based on a true story! Looks like 5 of your students know more about Chinese history than you do (;
I'm proud of those five students
Sounds like something that would happen in Crawford's apwh class. We see where the future is heading.
I've read way too many posts from ignorant people proclaiming "Mulan is real!!!" Mulan is a LEGENDARY person. She's like Robin Hood, Achilles, Odysseus, King Arthur, or Jesus; they were probably based on real people, and some of the folklore surrounding them are probably true, but there's little to no reliable historical information about them.
As long as they didn't base it on the Disney crap, so what? Mulan was a historical figure and downright cool. If you ask me YDI for assigning an essay at the start of class rather than halfway through the course when you had studied some other historical figures. Next time make a list of historical figures for students to choose from or make them run the historical figures by you for approval first. You're welcome.
My second choice is General Tso. How did he cook all that delicious chicken while leading his troops in battle? I guess the peanuts and spicy peppers gave his troops the energy and the heat to fight and win.
Love that general Tao chicken.

I bet a lot of them were about Jackie Chan as well
See, I would have been more creative... Mine would have been about Mushu.
