College Comp 2: Homework for Monday

Generate something creative (or ‘original’) to illustrate a point from Ch. 1-10 that you find most interesting or relevant to you.  I have included some sites that might inspire you. You don't need to use one of these sites.  Heck, you don’t even need to use tech for this, but if you do, maybe one of these sites will inspire you to do something creative.
