The Metagame! Teaching Argument and Debate

I'll be presenting the Metagame as a tool to teach argument and debate in the English/Language Arts classroom at the Ohio Educational Technology Conference on Tuesday.  Below is a little bit about the game and how I've used it in my classroom.  

The Metagame is a card game where students can create arguments around specific questions in connection to specific video games.  In my classroom, I posted our daily Metagame video game cards and question card in a Moodle forum and students created their arguments.  Additionally, students were required to respond to a classmate's post.  For our in-class sessions, students went head-to-head and presented their arguments in front of the class.  This was an excellent teaching tool to focus on creating clear arguments and responding to other perspectives.

Watch the video below to get a good idea of what the game looks like and how to play the Metagame! 

The Metagame was designed by @localno12 and is available on Amazon.com.  Expansion deck #1 is also available now!
