		+	'''Additional String Features:'''
		+	* Python strings actually have methods/functions built into them. You can read them at [http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods Python String Methods]. Pay close attention to the string.split() and string.lower() functions/methods
		+	* Try out the following code:
		+
		+	<syntaxhighlight lang="Python">
		+	s = "Here is a string with several words in it"
		+	wordList = s.split()
		+	print wordList
		+
		+	#What do you see in wordList?
		+	#Try out the same code, but using s.lower() this time...what is the difference?
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	'''Complete the Pig Latin Translator:'''
		+	# Create a function called '''translateSentence(s)''' that takes one string parameter (it'll be a whole sentence)
		+	# First, split the string into a list of words
		+	# Traverse the list of words and call '''translateWord()''' on each word
		+	# If you do it properly, you'll be able to translate an entire sentence into Pig Latin!
