You should be starting to think about a term-paper topic.  Pick a section of the book not on the syllabus to explore, or a section on the syllabus to explore more deeply than does the text.  Although the paper will not be due until May 3 I will ask you to tell me your topic by March 15 and to submit an outline by April 12.  I will hold you to that topic and that outline unless you give me a very good reason to switch.
