digital photography project

i was wondering if anyone could help me by giving me examples of the following:

Balance-elements in the photograph have the same visual weight

Leading lines- lines in the photograph create a road map for the eye

center of interest- the object in the photo that attracts the most attention

repetition- shapes or ideas are repeated within the photo

rule of thirds- subject is not placed in the middle, but along the third's

movement- photo seems to have life, elements such as lines create the sensation of movement

backround- should be non-distracting to focus attention on the subject

perspective- the direction from which the photo is shot. different angles have different effects

filling the frame- leave no unnecessary space, tight cropping

selective focus- using depth of field to highlight center of interest

framing subject- shooting the subject surrounded by a frame within the photo

cropping-cutting out unnecessary items in the photo, focusing on one element

shape- the objects shape is used to tell something about the object. shape can tell something about mass, proportion and relation

texture-photo tells how the object feels

for our assignment we have to take a picture of each of those elements....and I sort of get some of those, but I want to take really good pictures, can anyone give me examples of those? I would really appreciate it
