<p>Or can I just turn in my essay without writing my own question?</p>
<p>Hopefully your thesis statement makes it clear what your essay is about. I don’t see anywhere that it says you have to ask yourself a question to answer.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks! Sorry for the frantic title :)</p>
<p>You can just turn in your essay without writing out any question of your own. Depending on the style of your essay, a thesis statement may or may not be necessary.</p>
