Remember that you are to turn in your paper proposal this week.
I'm still getting questions about what types of topics are acceptable. Remember that you are to draw a topic from your assigned book and dig deeply into it. Develop a critical essay analyzing the topic. Be sure that the topic hits one of the major topics that we cover in class.
I need to repeat a key point: This is not a book report. I don't want to see you paper start of with something like: "insert title" is a book about really great things that happened in Texas."
Find some nuance with the book's content that's worthy of a 1000 word - at least - report. I'll help you fine tune it once you turn it in. I imagine that week 6's report will ask for a revision - then you can start getting the writing out of the way.
I hope this helps.
Remember to write at least 150 words.
