  1. Independent Note taking: ELA Spiral, under Class Notes section foreshadowing Unit 1: Mini Lesson

  2. Definition • Foreshadowing is when an author provides clues or hints to suggest events that will occur later in the plot. • Foreshadowing helps to create suspense, which is the uncertainty or anxiety that a reader feels about what will happen next in a story.

  3. Practice • Almost all stories use foreshadowing in some way. Try to match the following passages with the plot development that the passage foreshadows. 1. From: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “ ‘I shouldn’t like to loose any of you children at this stage of the proceedings.’ ” 2. From: A Day No Pigs Would Die “ ‘The sky’s a good place to look’ he said, ‘and I got a notion it’s a good place to go.’ ” 3. From: Johnny Tremain “ ‘Each shall give according to his abilities, and some –’ he turned to Rab – ‘some will give their lives.’ ” 4. From: The Cay “ ‘Well, you can rest easy, Phillip. The Germans would never torpedo this old tub.’ Yet I saw him looking over the lifeboats.” A. The narrator’s father will die. B. One of the characters will later be lost. C. An enemy will attack the ship. D. Rab will die later in the story.

  4. Practice • Read the following story. I spent all day yesterday looking for my wallet, which I knew I had lost in the morning on the way to school. Since I arrived at school early, I had time to retrace my steps all the way back to my house, but I could not find it. The only other idea I had is that David might know. I had run into him on the way to school. David and I are not really friends – in fact, I think he dislikes me. But for some reason he walked the last two blocks to school with me. After I retraced my steps and had no luck, I decided to ask him if he might have seen it. When I did, he was very friendly and said he was sorry, but he had not seen my wallet at all. As I walked away, I heard him laughing at his locker with Brett, who I also think dislikes me. When I got home, I double-checked my book bag and my binder, but still I had no luck. I walked to school one more time, following the same path, and still I could not find it. Make a predication: • 1. What do you think happened to the narrators wallet? 2. What hints or clues does the narrator give us that might foreshadow the end of the story??

  5. Practice- Then, when I got to school this morning, I learned from the principal that David had stolen my wallet. He might have been laughing yesterday, but I’ll be laughing for the next month every time I pass the detention room on .
