Exploring the Art of Foreshadowing

Mrs. Mikey introduces foreshadowing, a literary device where authors hint at future events. She explains its meaning by breaking down the word and provides an example from Little Red Riding Hood. The video covers four main types of foreshadowing: explicit, prophecy, flashback, and symbolic. Each type is explained with examples, such as Anakin's dream in Star Wars for prophecy. Symbolic foreshadowing uses symbols like rain to convey emotions. The video concludes with a brief farewell.
