Concrete Foreshadowing!  OBJECTS, PEOPLE, PLACES, COLORS, and EVENTS  These clues are not obvious until you look back!  Can you think of an example in a movie you have seen?

Abstract Foreshadowing  SENSES!  Thoughts/feelings a character has or the way a character acts  A certain kind of music playing that hints at an upcoming event!  LISTEN! When you hear this kind of music in a movie, what might happen next?

Prominent Foreshadowing!  The story starts out at the end and then goes back to the beginning, so you already know what is going to happen.  Has anyone read Twilight? How is the beginning an example of prominent foreshadowing?

Evocative Foreshadowing  This kind of foreshadowing leads the reader on:  “Little did I know…”  “It all would not have happened if…”  Can you think of another way an author might phrase this?
