  • BEFORE YOU START Prepare a Group Journal to Help You Record Group Discussions and Responses to the Text As You Work Through the Book
    BEFORE YOU START Prepare a group journal to help you record group discussions and responses to the text as you work through the book. These notes refer to the edition illustrated by Chris Riddell but can also be used with Dave McKean’s original illustrations, with some minor adjustments. You could create a glossary of new vocabulary as you read the book – you may want to prepare a format for doing this. As you go through the book, ask the group to pick out words they are unfamiliar with or do not fully understand, such as velvet, muzzle, vermin, raggedy, embroidery, vivid, monstrous, anteroom, shovelled, commercials and rummaged. You could prepare photographs and video sources to bring these words to life and help the pupils use them in context. © Bloomsbury SESSION 1: CHAPTER 1 Focus: Predicting, Close Reading, Thinking Aloud and Summarising Share the front cover with the group. (Do not share the back cover at this point as it reveals some aspects of the plot you may wish to hold back while the children make predictions.) Ask the children to predict what the story could be about. Ask them to justify their responses, drawing out any connections they make to other stories. Record the children’s responses in the journal. Once you have recorded their predictions you can return to these as you read the book, comparing the children’s initial thoughts to how the story actually unfolds. –––––– © Bloomsbury Encourage the children to look in detail at the cover illustration and make connections between this text and other stories they know.

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Sean Edward Dixon iii THESIS ABSTRACT Sean Edward Dixon Master of Arts Folklore Program June 2017 Title: Folklore and Mythology in Neil Gaiman's American Gods This thesis provides a critical analysis of the use of folklore and mythology that exists in Neil Gaiman's award-winning novel, American Gods. I focus on the ways in which American Gods is situated within an intertextual corpus of mythological and mythopoeic writing. In particular, this study analyses Gaiman’s writing by drawing upon Mircea Eliade’s ideas about mythology and Northrop Frye’s archetypal criticism to discuss the emergence of secular myth through fantasy fiction. iv CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Sean Edward Dixon GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene American University, Washington DC DEGREES AWARDED: Master of Arts,
