Task #1 Foreshadowing


 * Foreshadowing** gives readers clues about what might happen later in a story. Authors use foreshadowing to build suspense, tempt readers to predict what might happen, and persuade them to read on to find out if they were right. Think about it. Even as a little kid, no one had to tell you that when Mrs. Rabbit told Peter, "Don't go into Mr. MacGregor's garden," he'd go – and get into trouble! The author's words foreshadowed danger.

**Example**
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! 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!

Complete the worksheet below about foreshadowing.



Find two examples of foreshadowing in the first two chapter of The Golden Goblet. After each example make a prediction of what you think is going to happen.

For example: In the book Ranofer describes how Gebu will not let him become an apprentice. On page 9 Gebu comments "Why can I not be apprenticed? Ranofer asked himself for the hundredth time. Because Gebu does not wish it." I think that this will cause Ranofer to runaway from home or do something crazy to try and find a better life.

Task #2

Write down two questions you have from chapter 1 and 2.

For example: I don't understand why Gebu has to live with Ranofer.

Task #3

You need to comment on one other students answers to task 1 and 2. You can answer one of their questions, agree with what they predict, or say why you disagree with what they predict.

Below your response to their post write your name.

For example: I like how you...

Mr. Sheets

Task #4

Complete the character scrapbook for Gebu.
