+This project will require large circles of varying sizes, and dots/filled in circles for the electrons. Once an initial model has been created, I hope to animate the dots (electrons) to move around the rings in a circular path. Another goal I have would be to enter an input about the symbol of the atom and the animation creates the appropriate atom. I think the initial model and the animation are definitely manageable, and while I have some ideas for making the animation work for atoms with different numbers of electrons, based on user input, I think that may be too involved for this particular project. Here is an image of what I intend to make with the electrons in the rings then moving around the circular path.

 ## Planning
 
-(Include your planning here, including your project milestone.)
+I think my project could be best divided into 3 milestones. 
+
+The first would be to create the image of a Bohr model for carbon. This would be a still drawing and would resemble the still image submitted above. I imagine this would include various functions including a function for drawing a ring, a function for drawing the electrons, and a function for drawing the nucleus. Iteration can be included because the image will have multiple electrons, which are the same small filled in circle (dot) appearing over and over again. I may need some assistance here in how to draw a filled in circle, but I will check the turtle library first.
+
+The second milestone will be to try to move the electrons using superturtle. I think this may be a bit trickier, but the drawing would still show the Bohr model even if the animation does not work. I plan to use some of the code used on the superturtle information page on the Making with Code website for this part.
+
+The last milestone (which may be more of a long term goal) would be to add an option to input the name of the element and draw the appropriate drawing based on that. I think this would add quite a bit of complexity, so it may be something I would add later if I end up liking the animation. I think this would involve some if/elif/else statements based on user input, which I have a little bit of familiarity with. I would consider the project successful even if I don't reach this milestone becuase I view it more as an extension of the drawing project.
