4/10: preparing

...a bestiary passage about hedgehogs for the Latin class.  I knew I wanted to translate it with them this semester, but I thought we'd do it later.  However, a student who is in both Etymology and Latin with me did a study of the word urchin for Etymology, which is related to the Latin word for hedgehog, so that brought it to the mental forefront.  And when I realized that the passage contains two result clauses (something we had just learned about), that was the clincher.
