      3 pts What did you accomplish in CS Discoveries this week?
      3 pts What did you learn in CS Discoveries this week?
    3. NOTE: If you do not describe WHAT you did, saying you worked on it is not enough information to earn credit.
      1. Bad Example: "I completed Unit 2 Lesson 1" says nothing about what you did or learned. Describe what you did and what you learned as if to someone who does not have access to the course materials.
