Today as you read, you need to
look for something really special that
authors include in stories sometimes.
This special thing is called
foreshadowing. Foreshadowing
is when an author gives readers a
hint of something that is going to
happen before it happens. We can
remember what foreshadowing
means because part of this word
(fore) comes from the word
before. So when an author gives us
a clue that something is going to
happen before it happens, we know it
is foreshadowing. Why do you think
authors might include foreshadowing
in their stories? Lets practice finding
a foreshadow. As you read, think
about what is happening, and if
anything you read sounds like the
author is giving you a clue about
Teacher will
*Confer individually with students as
they read and take anecdotal notes.
*Coach students around objective
and/or decoding & context clues.
Teacher will
Remember readers, today we
practiced reading and looking for
foreshadowing from the author.
Authors might sometimes use
foreshadowing to give us clues and
make us really curious about what is
about to happen. From now on in
your reading, try to see if any of the
books you read include
foreshadowing.

Discussion Questions:
1. Did the author include any foreshadowing in this part of the book? How do you know?
2. What do you think the author meant by saying, ...the reporter held the phone to his ear
for a long time? What is this foreshadowing?
3. What do you infer the phrase level with me means? What are your clues?
