While studying Macbeth, students learned about the foreshadowing device used in Shakespeare as the harbinger of bad things to come. To upset the natural order of things (i.e. "kill a king") meant that unnatural things would occur. As in Macbeth, the slaughter of King Duncan brought about a "rough night": chimneys blown down, screams of death in the night, horses breaking out of their stalls and biting each other, etc. The students used The News-Journal to create an "unnatural things collage." Clipping headlines, pictures, and pieced together bylines, the students created a collage of unusual or bizarre things that occur daily around the world. Students enjoy seeing how many truly unusual or unexpected events actually do occur.
