Apropos of Doing and Making Things

For the first blessed time ever, I'm getting my students to make things with words and paper in my poetry analysis class. A (little) bit of what Ian Bogost calls carpentry. It's been on my mind for a while to get them to do this but now I have the grading apparatus in place to make it work.

So for this week's first homework, you have to put two words on a single sheet of paper in three different ways, and discuss the effects of doing so.
