Default Re: New To ESL!

Going beyond picture dictionaries and collages, I would have students write about photographs and ads from magazines. I also like to distribute postcards and have students write short notes and send them. School children could send their parents, uncles, and cousins postcards as a writing exercise. It's both doable and fun.
As for the cost, I've always considered it a smart investment.
Good luck! Have fun - and keep your balance with all those energetic children.
