A unit of learning that explores how a selection of learning outcomes* can be brought to life through a range of learning experiences as students engage with David Almond’s graphic novel The Savage and Sing Street directed by John Carney. The resource pack illustrates how learning experiences can deepen and consolidate learning outcomes through key moments in The Savage, whilst also making links and connections from this learning to other text forms, primarily the film Sing Street. We will share how extended writing opportunities emerge allowing students to develop the Collection of Student’s Texts, CBA 2, and learning for the final state examination. *Learning Outcomes in Focus: OL1, OL8, R2, R7, R9, W4, W8, W12
