What is Foreshadowing? Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author drops subtle hints about plot developments to come later in the story.
You can think of foreshadowing as a way of giving the reader a chance to make a predication about what might happen next in the story.<br>
07
What is Foreshadowing? Writers use a variety of techniques to give the reader/watcher hints as to what is to come:
Movies and TV Shows: music
Stories: words that give away emotions (anxious, nervous, excited, etc…)
Be on the look out for subtle hints of foreshadowing.<br>

Example of Foreshadowing "NOW, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, "you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor."
~ Beatrix Potter from The Tale of Peter Rabbit ~ What do you think might happen next?<br>

Power Question 1 1. Sarah closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was exactly a year ago today that she stood in this very same spot, trying to do the very same thing. “How could I be doing this?” Sarah thought to herself. She took a deep breath and recalled that embarrassing and humiliating time.
She had sung on stage a million times, but, for some reason, that night was different. As she gazed out in the into the crowd, she saw them. They never came, yet there they were. Sarah’s breath had quickened and her heart began to beat a mile a minute. “I can’t do this,” she mumbled as she fled the stage.
And now, exactly a year later, Sarah stood, ready to head out on stage. She hoped she was ready. A. Foreshadowing

Power Question 2 2. Robinson Crusoe (paraphrased excerpt)
Daniel Defoe
Being the third son of the family, and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as house education a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law, but I would be satisfied with nothing but going out to sea. My inclination to this led me so strongly against the will, nay, the commands, of my father, and against all the entreaties and persuasions of my mother and other friends, that there seemed to be something fatal in that propension of nature tending directly to the life of misery which was to befall me.
The author uses the reaction of Robinson Crusoe’s family and friends to give the reader hints of what may happen in the story.

Power Question 3 3. The dark storm clouds rolled across the lake and Rebecca couldn’t help but shiver. The ominous feeling the black clouds gave her made her pull her wool coat closely around her. She started walking faster and faster, hoping that whatever was coming would pass quickly and wouldn’t hurt too badly.

What is a FLASHBACK? Flashback is an interruption in the present action of a story to tell about something that happened in the past—a jump back in time.
Example:
I couldn’t believe I had been tricked! All of a sudden I remembered back to a summer long ago when My brother and I had gone to stay with our grandparents in the country . . .<br>
17
What about a FLASH FORWARD? Flash-forward is a jump in time. After a flashback, the author often flashes forward returning to the present time or a time in the future.
Example: Margaret angrily threw the toy locomotive, and although it missed her brother Samuel, a tiny piece of mama’s precious mantle clock disappeared. One dainty leg was gone. Margaret tenderly touched the rough place where the missing leg had been. Carefully rewrapping the clock in its tissue, she laid it back into the old trunk as her grandchildren slammed the kitchen door. Someday she would share her memories with them.<br>
