Constructing a BIG text

This tree-story involves a teacher (Jason Olsen) and some students at Western Michigan University. The following newspaper article from the Western Herald (the WMU student newspaper) describes the class in this way:

"Over the course of this semester, a class of 33 students has been divided into two groups to devise writing projects based on the exploration of innovative forms of publication, Olsen said.

Instead of writing on traditional 8-1/2-inch-by-11-inch sheets of paper, he said students are encouraged to write on other various objects.

'The class is designed to let the students explore the relationship between art and writing, and between innovation and writing,' said Olsen, who is also a doctoral student in the creative writing program."
