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).

I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based model, I cannot physically create or submit documents. However, I can assist you in crafting a clear, effective thesis statement.
To create a thesis statement that proves a point about something, you should have a specific argument or claim in mind. Consider the following steps to formulate your thesis statement:
1. Identify your main topic: What is the subject matter or concept that your essay will focus on?
2. Generate a question: Formulate a question related to your topic that can be answered with a specific point or argument. For example, if your topic is climate change, your question could be "How does climate change impact global agriculture?"
3. Answer the question with a point: Develop a clear, concise response to your question, which takes a position or states an argument. This will be your thesis statement. For example, "Climate change significantly threatens global agriculture by disrupting weather patterns, leading to crop failures, and reducing food security."
Once you have your thesis statement, review it to ensure it meets the requirements stated in the prompt. It should be clear, effective, and focused on the main focus of your essay. Additionally, Double-check for appropriate punctuation and capitalization.
Remember, it is essential to create your own thesis statement and essay plan as per the guidelines provided by your instructor or assignment.
