    Hi! my name is Estela and as an English teacher in primary I used the tic-tac-toe a lot to review any topic for example if we were studying questions I wrote a question in each space and to put the X or the O they have to read the question and answer it and all the members of each team can help to answer the question correctly, but that game can be used to reinforce any content and it's really relaxing and students like to play it. I divided the class in two teams Team X and Team O and they take turns to put the X or the O in each space, but first they have to overcome a challenge.

    Hi Val! Thanks for the video♡ I sometimes use it for reading review; Ss draw question strips from a bag & if they can answer them, they write X/O on the board. The questions differ depending on their levels: lower level - Who/What is the story about? or higher levels - main problem/setting/character analysis/opinions, etc.

Restaurants and shops are open, people walk in the parks, the city center is not deserted, so it's lockdown 2.0. This level of freedom is only possible if you were not tested positive, of course. Thank you for your comment. I'm happy you watch all my videos. All the best to you too!

    The lockdown (a term that originated in prisons) is heartbreaking. I saw a video of many people in Shanghai shouting "We are starving!" from their homes and crying. I saw many cats stuffed into bags, beaten to death or almost to death and being collected in trucks along with dead and dying dogs and taken away to be burned like garbage. I heard that the food they sometimes give to the people who've been imprisoned in their homes is junk food like Spam and Oreo cookies. Some people say "We're doing this because we care about your health." But do they care about your health? They say they care, but they would punch you in the face for not staying in your prison. They say they care as they beat women in the street and take children from their parents. They say they care as they beat animals to death. It makes me wonder, if this is caring, what is hating? I wonder when this whole charade will end. Nobody knows. Two days become two weeks, two months... It seems endless. But for some, certainly for those cats and dogs, or people who are starving in their homes, it may end soon. It just won't be a happy ending.
