'Recycled material' can be very useful and inexpensive when making props for lessons or crafts.
Recycled material like : toilet roll holders, egg boxes, and cereal boxes, just to mention a few. I enjoyed making coffee can pencil holder, an eggbox turtle with my class. Do you find recycled material useful to you?, and what did you make?,

I think its a great idea. It's good to be environmentally conscious and care for the planet too.
No doubt, recycled material is useful in all the respects. Cost effective as well as unique in using they are. During our school days, we'd made paper plates' fish & had also converted talcum powder cans/boxes into flower vases/pen-pencil holders.
Recycled materials are real life saving and cost saving too. I have made sensor boards using different materials and taught division using egg trays!

Regularmente el material reciclable se utiliza para manualidades pero se reutiliza en muchas cosas es dependiendo en qué renglón utilices o realices actividades para mi es muy funcional con el reciclado podemos trabajar en el ámbito educativo para diseñar cuadernos o otras cosas
Thank you Nichana for mentioning this. I believe that recycling for personal use should be classified as a craft. For example: shoe box can be painted/decorated and used as a storage box 😊
THAT IS SO TRUE. I MOSTLY USE RECYCLED MATERIALS IN MY CLASS AND MY STUDENTS LIKE THEM.

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
