Since it's Friday, I'm only expecting you to read the journal entries I listed on Friday (all the journal entries from Cecile on p56-60 ). Be sure you are well aware of the content (look up words that may be challenging on wordreference.com, and attempt to summarize the events and information you've read as well,you could also complete the comprehension questions on p.60 for practice).

Please mention this to classmates that were absent. They will be expected to complete the task as well.
