You can only use append one element at a time. So you can either write two append statements or use the += operator to add both elements at once. Use square brackets for the += and normal parentheses for the append method.

Hope that helps!

todo += ["Debug App", "Fix Bugs"]

or 

todo.append("Debug App")
todo.append("Fix Bugs")

Do not place the period at the end of your append method. ("Fix Bugs" . <--- ) I believe that should help.
