The aim of this pack is to create a wider literacy - including visual literacy. Pupils will engage in in-depth analysis of text and moving image, leading to a greater understanding of both the author's and the filmmaker's crafts. Book to Screen will encourage pupils to become more perceptive readers of the word and the visual image.
