This is my real family crest and coat of arms. I am of Scottish descent and this is the Cahoon, or the old spelling is Colquhoun, family of my father's side of my family. In the crest, the deer or stag is red, and it is in both the crest and coat of arms. The color red means warrior or martyr and military strength and the stag means one who will not fight unless provoked, peace, and harmony. On the shield, the white means peace and sincerity and the black means constancy or grief. The shape of the line on the shield is an engrailed line and it means Earth or land. The motto on both the crest and coat of arms "Si je puis" is old French for "If I can".
This is a place to brainstorm, share group work, pose questions, comment before/during/after discussions, post drafts--and anything else we decide to blog about on our education odyssey.
