1. Concepts
1. Objects
2. Data retrieval/searching
3. Advanced I/O
2. Background/Overview
1. Basic understanding of objects,I/O, and loops/conditionals.
3. Lesson Plan

class Car:
    def __init__(self, color, make, model, speed, owner):
        self.color = color
        self.make = make
        self.model = model
        self.speed = speed
        self.owner = owner

    def accelerate(self):
        self.speed = self.speed + 5

    def stop(self):
        self.speed = 0

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.owner + ' owns a ' + self.color + ' ' + self.make + ' ' + \
               self.model + ' traveling at ' + self.speed.__str__() + ' mph'
