Sooo...
Today is Camel Day, November 9, 2011. Yesterday after all of you lovely students left most of your teachers had meetings to attend over at the Randall Campus. I joined the Literacy Leadership Team for my meeting, but happened to agitate the Community Leadership Team which I was once a part of. Mr. Tomsett proceded to call me a TURNCOAT.
Now, the name that I was called stopped me in my tracks. It made me start to wonder. What is a turncoat? Where would a weird word like that come from? What is it's entymology? Does the word have a historical context? Did the word originate during a certain era in history: the Revolution perhaps? So my next step was to find the definition. I did and sent it via text message to this blog THINK SPOT. The definition is below for your enjoyment.
Turncoat:1.
a person who changes to the opposite party or faction, reverses principles, etc.; renegade.
There are additional resources I added to Blackboard 9 that will help you download video and/or audio. Ask me to show you!
Yours Truly,

P.S. I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.
Do your best and forget the rest!!
