Your syntax is correct except for the quotation marks being used. It looks like you are using 2 single quotes? You can use either single quotes (') or double quotes ("). Double quotes, however, are an actual character. They are not 2 single quotes together. On a US keyboard, the double quotes are Shift + '.
Just fix that up and the rest looks good.
Nice job! :)
