Abstract

Focusing on the 2006 examination paper on Richard III, this article starts by examining the assumptions about reading Shakespeare that inform the Key Stage 3 national tests for fourteen-year-olds in England. It then analyses one student’s response to the test, contrasting this performance with evidence drawn from classroom observation and digital video data.
