This gaming club is open to all students of any level of Fortnite experience. Students are required to have Fortnite downloaded on their device (Xbox Playstation, Switch, PC) before the start of class. I also require student gamer tags privately messaged to me before class. This club follows a consistent theme where we play in Fortnite Battle Royale matches that are primarily student-directed with the support of the teacher. Students will also have the chance to play in other types of Fortnite games if all learners want to try something new. In this ongoing class, learners will discuss with the teacher on specific strategy for each Fortnite Battle Royale match or Fortnite game. I will encourage all students to take turns to contribute input on our goals or tasks for each game we participate in. I aim to provide a positive learning environment where the participants feel comfortable providing input, communicating their thoughts, and where they can learn to be a team player. Learners will be in constant interaction with me throughout the class. This is a safe space for participants to play Fortnite, I will be present in the group at all times.

Fortnite is a 13+ game and uses voice chat. Common sense media also recommends the age as 13+.
The game needs to be downloaded before class.
An account may need to be made to participate.
I recommend turning off voice chat on the Fortnite game for class. As I am unable to control what others say over voice chat. The students and teacher will be able to communicate with each other in the Outschool class.
