iii. Foreshadow: A writer’s use of hints or clues to suggest
events that will occur later in the story. The hints can

may be included in details of description.
Foreshadowing creates suspense and makes readers
eager to find out what will happen next.
iv. Suspense: is the excitement or tension that readers feel
as they wait to find out how a story ends or a conflict is
resolved. Writers create suspense by raising questions
in readers’ minds about what might happen next. The
use of foreshadow can be used to create suspense.

your timeline, create a bulleted brainstorm of that event
including at least 6 details about the event. The last bullet
