Abstract
This session will present two related research projects approaching KS3 students’ engagement with canonical literary texts through the design of videogames: Playing Shakespeare and Playing Beowulf. Both projects approach reading – and literacy more generally – as a multimodal phenomenon, in which meaning-making is constructed across and between a range of communicative modes of which language is only one.
