  1. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi Literary Elements

  2. Think about a story you read or a movie you saw that had you “on the edge of your seat” wondering what was going to happen next. What made you feel that way? SUSPENSE!

  3. S U S P E N S E • Suspense is a feeling of growing tension and excitement. • Suspense makes the reader curious about the outcome of the story. • Suspense is created by raising questions in the reader’s mind. • When is a time that you have felt suspense?

  4. Examples of Suspenseful Movies

  5. PREDICTION • A reasonable guess about what will happen in a story. • When you make predictions, you stay involved because you want to know if your predictions are correct.

  6. EXAMPLES OF PREDICTION • In the story, “Seventh Grade”… • What predictions did we make about Victor? • That he would become friends with Teresa • What did we think would happen after Victor “spoke” in French? • Mr. Bueller would tell Teresa the truth

  7. How to Make a Good Prediction • Review what you already know about the setting and the plot. • Guess what the characters might do next. What events might result? • Base your prediction on characters’ words, actions, and personalities.

  8. F O R E S H A D O W I N G • Foreshadowing occurs when a writer provides hints that suggest a future event in the story. • Foreshadowing creates suspense. • Foreshadowing is often accomplished through symbols and imagery. • “Gut feeling”

  9. An example of foreshadowing: ~Character is cleaning a gun in the opening scene. What could this foreshadow? • Merely the appearance of a deadly weapon, even though it is used for an innocuous purpose - such as being cleaned - suggests terrible consequences later on in the story.
