The instructions say, "Inside the jQuery each() method, use prepend() to add an '<input type="checkbox"/>' to the beginning of each list item. Use the this keyword, so the callback function doesn't need any arguments."

So you have some good hints right there, giving you the method to use and the argument to pass to it. So just apply that method to a jQuery object you construct using "this" and you should have it.
