Foreshadowing and SuspenseReview

“Rikki-tikki-tavi”

Suspense

• When you feel growing tension and excitement as you reador watch a movie, that feeling is called suspense.

Writers may build suspense by using foreshadowing, clues or

hints about what will happen later.

Foreshadowing can come from the setting details or from a character’s unusual statement or strong warning.

Individual Work

Boys1) Record 5 clues that

suggest Rikki-tikki will lose his battle with the snakes
