#THUNDERDOME Part II
Or, Letting sport invade your classroom.
A certain radio personality invaded local sports talk 10 years ago. Life has never been the same. What started out as an afternoon gig, then moved into a remote show from Wisconsin and Victoria, is now an early morning staple for those seeking escape from the mundane.
Said radio guy introduced a certain lexicon onto the airwaves, and my classroom was transformed.
You see, the defenders of the Alamo weren't just murdered. They got 'dead'. I don't teach just Texas; I teach 'any and all things Texas'. And, it's not just the History of Texas; it's the 'History of the Greatest State in the History of the Greatest Country in the History of the World'.
I don't know if this is the proper way to bring real world stuff into the classroom, but it definitely livens up the proceedings.
