Decide on a subject that interests you or that you know a lot about. (Marshall McLuhan, Bjork, Hello Kitty, Xbox, rammed earth dwellings).
Look at the entry for it on wikipedia. Edit this entry to add to the knowledge that is reflected there, improve on the entry, or correct facts that are presented there.
Take a screen grab of the entry prior to you making your changes. Take another screen grab afterwards. Use photoshop or some other method to highlight your addition in the latter. Hand in both as .jpgs.
