This exciting lesson plan is sure to be hit with your elementary to middle school students! It is compiled of 3 written lesson plans, but can stretch for an entire grading period or semester (adaptations provided in the lesson breakdown). Students will not only formally learn the dances they engage with in their free time at home, but have an opportunity to create new choreography and movement phrases individually or with a small group!

Students will also understand the power of social media, the intention and purpose of "challenges" to engage and enlighten an audience, and see themselves as active contributors to dance, the arts, and their favorite game!

Lesson Plan Includes:

• 3 detailed lesson plans (to be extended if needed)
• clear adaptations outlined
• video links to 20 Fortnite dances
• written resource library for music and more dances (if you want to add more movement)
• lesson specific vocabulary
• An original assignment sheet (#FortniteChallenge)
• An original rubric assessment and checklist

If you follow the Unit progression to video taping the students movement phrases, you can use the free online learning platform Seesaw, for students to record their own videos. The platform has an interface similar to Instagram and allows you and other students to comment and like each others work. You can also create your own class TikTok if you are the full time dance teacher on campus to get other students on campus and in your classroom involved and engaged in the learning environment. This is also easily adaptable to use as a teaching tool for Higher Education students learning how to teach elementary to middle school students.
