4. Find a source text and manually perform one of the mashup techniques below (or one of your own invention.) Create a webpage with the results using some combination of HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript. Host the page on github pages (or your own server).

However, you may choose to include animated or interactive elements if you like. Think about creative ways for the page to be "self-documenting", i.e. instructions for the text mashup, references, etc.
