Metaprogramming is the writing of a program that writes other programs. Metaprogramming is not limited to o-o languages, but it seems that about half of the languages that support metaprogramming are object oriented. Consider how metaprogramming is done in the various languages, and give an example of writing a particular metaprogram in at least two of these languages to illustrate the differences. Since the Wikipedia article on metaprogramming is not very detailed, if you do a good job, you could submit this article to Wikipedia.
