Hi Nayeli,
Gibber has a lot of examples if you click browse > tutorials, so probably that's a good place to start to get the hang of what you can do with gibber.
You can also learn a lot from watching other people perform and seeing how they're using the language in performance, so I would look up some videos and try to understand the different ways they're interacting with the code, what they pre-code vs perform live, etc.
live coding has a huge spectrum of practices and styles, so try to draw on whatever practice you already have and rethink it in code. or if you don't already have a performance/composition practice, maybe it's good to start from some music you really like and think about how you would write it's structures and sounds in code.
hope that helps a little bit - good luck with the assignment!
best,
Shelly

Dear Nayeli,
There is a sizeable chunk of us on this mailing list which are the
people at universities who set assignments like this. I am not sure what
you hope to get from us other than the advice that you make sure you
understand how Gibber works and then read the assignment carefully.
I suppose there is one more piece of advice I would give. Always make
sure that what you do draws on your sense of musicality as a
(presumably) accomplished musician.
All the best,
Kelcey
