This is a file upload question for which you will be creating supply/demand graphs. You can draw the graphs by hand, take a photo, and upload them OR you can draw the graphs using your computer, save as an image file, and upload that. Please upload one image with both graphs on it, making sure to number each graph clearly. Note that the next question asks you to identify scenarios and then explain what these graphs are depicting.  DEMAND AND SUPPLY FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT: For this and the following questions, instead of asking you to depict and explain scenarios that I have invented, you get to depict and explain scenarios that you invent! The first task, then, is to invent two scenarios that will change the market for public transport: one that will shift supply and one that will shift demand. Using supply and demand graphs, illustrate your supply shift in one graph and your demand shift in the next. Make sure to clearly label which is the original supply/demand, and which is the shifted supply/demand.

Compose a potential thesis statement for your essay.  The thesis must include your topic, your central point, and three map points.  Using the teacher example, a possible thesis is “My 7th grade science teacher is my favorite teacher because she is caring, creative, and upbeat.”

For example, if you choose to write that a teacher is your favorite, a general idea to support that point is that she is caring.
