Today you will submit two items: your thesis statement and your essay plan. You do NOT need to submit a completed essay. Your plan might take the form of an outline, a concept map, or the provided graphic organizer (see Lesson Intro page resources). This outline/plan should be created on a separate document. Be sure to include all requirements (below). Type your thesis statement here. (You will upload your outline/plan in item 2. ) When you are done writing, ask yourself: Did I include a clear, effective thesis statement? (2 points) Does my thesis statement share the main focus of my essay? (2 points) Did I use appropriate punctuation and capitalization? (2 points) (6 points)
