Foreshadowing is a powerful literary technique many authors use to engage readers, create suspense, and add layers of meaning in a text. Students will use this worksheet to develop a better understanding of foreshadowing by becoming foreshadowing “detectives” for the novella Of Mice and Men. They will locate specific passages, identify examples of foreshadowing, and then predict what event is being foreshadowed. You can have students answer the follow-up questions in small groups, as a class, or individually in writing. Pass out this worksheet when students reach the pages cited for each passage or when students finish reading the entire text.
