  2. What is foreshadowing? • Foreshadowing is when the author places words in their writing to leave hints of what will happen further in the story.

  3. Example: A weapon found in a drawer early in a story might foreshadow a future crime in the story.

  4. Why do authors use foreshadowing? • To build suspense • To increase interest • To make the reader create predictions • To persuade readers to continue to read the story

  5. How does an author include foreshadowing? • Dialogue • An object • An event

  6. From your pre-Test… • I looked at the speedometer… Paul was driving even faster. "Please slow down," I said. "We're coming to a really bad curve in the road!" But he didn't slow down and the snow was drifting higher and higher. I could hardly see the road.

  7. Foreshadowing also "sets up" future events so you're prepared for them and they make sense. You don't know why the author mentions snowdrifts until later in the story, when the car hits a snowdrift that stops the vehicle from going over a cliff!
