Lucy Wu is a sixth grade Chinese-American but doesn't really care much about the Chinese aspect of her life. She doesn't like Chinese food, barely speaks Chinese and loves basketball when she is expected to excel in some subject in school. She thinks she is going to have the perfect year but then she finds out her great-aunt from china is coming to stay. In the story Lucy is discovering how she fits into her Chinese culture and basketball.This story is a great story to learn a bit about the Chinese culture. It explains some of their idioms and Lucy applies them to her life. It also explains some of the impact of the Chinese cultural revolution of 1966. While reading this story I could feel the main characters struggle to figure out where she belonged. This book would be a great book to debunk some of the cultural stereo types that is placed on every culture. 1. Describe a memorable scene or turning point in Lucy's school experience.2. Give examples or quotes of how Lucy thought "the best year of her life" was turning for the worst.3. In real life, how would you help prepare students like Lucy to overcome bullying and cultural issues?4. Identify the different characters in The Great Wall of Lucy Wu and how they are affected by Lucy's growth as a sixth grader.5. Write and develop a plan giving advice which can help you solve situations with bullying for yourself or others to follow by.6. Compare and contrast the different views about Lucy's ambitions of becoming a basketball star and designer. Did some of her family understand or did they not?
