When I was trying to figuer out the

problem and how t slve it I started to plan like
I do lessons. First I needed to goal (which was given to us) then
I broke down the pieces of the goal and how they might be accomplished.

Overall the code itself took a few tries to figure out. But for the
most part the struggles I had were related to making the code I wrote
compatable with the process that is already in place. For example,
I struggled when importing some of the other equations, but once
I stepped back and looked at the pieces of the solution I needed, they
started to come together.

I also loved that the codes were poems. It made my English teacher brain
so excited. I started to look at the physical encryption and tried to guess
the poems or genres. It was a really fun process!
