For tonight's homework we would like you to come up with a thesis statement. For now, use this model thesis statement:

I believe that  ­­­_________ is the most important challenge facing my community. _______ is a significant challenge because _________. To solve this challenge, I propose ____________. 

Fill it in, make it your own, but realize this is not the final version that might appear in your speech. After you've completed the model, post your thesis on the blog. Feel free to comment on your peers' posts.
