1) ISO
2)Shutter Speed
3) Aperture
4) Rule of Thirds
ISO is the sensitivity of the camera for the lights present. The higher the ISO, the brighter the picture would be. Great for taking pictures at low light environments like concerts or maybe bars. The only trade-of here is the higher the ISO, the more noise present in the pictures. If your taking black and white pictures, the more grains present. The lower the ISO is the opposite - darker pictures, but generally you get very very low or no noise present. great for taking pictures at a sunny day or if you want to achieve a motion blur effect. (more on that on following lessons) Here is a sample of pictures where in you could see the difference. the first one is taken with ISO 400. The second is taken with ISO 6400
Shutter Speed is the speed of the sensor to be exposed to the environment. On this amount of time, it starts to accept light and process the light. Thus meaning that if the shutter speed is 1000, it means the sensor has only 1000th of a second to be exposed to the light of the environment to process the image. The slower the shutter speed, the more time it has to accept the light and process the image. There's no pros or cons on this aspect when taking a picture. It just basically tries to manipulate the desired effect. This can be observed more evidently on water. The quicker the shutter speed, the more solid the water looks. The slower the shutter speed, the more it would look like its flowing. Samples will be uploaded once i get to shoot some water.

Aperture is the wideness of the entrance of light. The higher the number of the aperture means the narrower the entrance is and less light can enter. This also means there's lesser blur between the foreground and background.. Thus this also means that the lower the number, the wider the entrance is and more light can enter. And also means the foreground and background are much more blurred.
Lastly, rule of thirds. When taking most pictures, there's a subject (the one you want to take a picture of) and the place where the subject is at. It tries to convey a story. The point here is that you dont center the subject to give room to the scene. Place the subject near any of the four corners of the picture.
Assiggnment: Take pictures of flowers applying any of the above mentioned. Lets your creativity flourish. take as much pictures as you can then choose at least 5. Dont forget to put a watermark and place the EXIF data on them.
