"Yo, how many skins do you have, Bro?" Fortnite is currently ALL the rage with my students. After a recent benchmark assessment, I realized my students needed more practice with argumentative essays-How to identify them? What elements make up an argumentative essay, and how to write one effectively. So, I decided I better "join them" in this Fortnite obsession instead of fight them and created this argumentative essay activity. This activity is a great way to review and prepare students for the end-of-the-year assessment.
