You cannot cure cervicitis without medical care, especially if the cervicitis is infectious. However, you can take steps at home to make yourself more comfortable and help the prescribed treatments to work effectively. It's important that you abstain from sexual activity until your doctor confirms you have healed from the infection. If your cervicitis is infectious, you need to avoid spreading the bacteria or virus; even if your cervicitis is non-infectious, avoid having sexual intercourse as this could further irritate your cervix and make your symptoms worse. Do not use products that may cause additional irritation or inflammation to your vagina or your cervix, including tampons and douching. Use menstrual pads instead of tampons. Do not use scented soaps, sprays, or lotions. These and other products may cause irritation. Do not use a diaphragm for birth control. Avoid tight, constricting underwear made of synthetic fabrics, as this can cause irritation and a buildup of moisture in the genital area. Look for 100% cotton undergarments to allow your genital area to breath and stay clean.

Summary: Abstain from sexual activity. Avoid any vaginal irritants. Wear comfortable, cotton under garments.

Draw a grid on the board, for instance, that identifies all the tenses you'll be teaching. To focus on the 9 basic tenses, for instance, write "Past," "Present," and "Future" along the top of the grid, "Simple," "Continuous" (aka "Progressive"), and "Perfect," along the side, and fill in the 9 grid boxes with examples from a single verb (e.g., saw, see, will see, etc.). There are more than 9 verb tenses in English--some experts say 13, which includes "perfect continuous" as its own tense and "future with 'going to'" as its own category. Others claim there are actually 16 tenses, which includes "perfect progressive" and "conditional" tenses, but starting with the basic 9 is good for an introductory or ESL setting. In a more advanced class, you can also use a grid to introduce 16 verb tenses. After identifying the entire system, narrow your focus to 1 of the 3 time frames. The present time frame makes a good starting point, since it is often the easiest for students to immediately comprehend. For example: I watch (simple), I am watching (continuous), I have watched (perfect). This runs counter to methods that focus, for example, on the simple past, simple present, and simple future at once (e.g., watched, watch, will watch). The reasoning behind this is the assumption that students are better able to follow along when you stay in a single time frame. After all, when you tell a story, you tend to stay in the same time frame throughout. Describe the similarities and differences among "eat," "am eating," and "have eaten," for example. All 3 refer to something that continues to be true in the present moment, but each presents distinct information. "Eat" indicates something you do regularly across time frames. "Am eating" indicates something you are doing in the present moment. "Have eaten" indicates something you have done that remains relevant currently. As you advance from one time frame to the next, make sure to circle back regularly to review previously-covered time frames and tenses. This reinforces the connections across time frames. For example, if you're discussing "will walk," "will be walking," and "will have walked" in the future time frame, related these to "walk," "am walking," and "have walked" in the present.

Summary: Provide a quick overview of the entire system of tenses. Focus on a single time frame, such as the present. Discuss the tenses within that time frame in relation to each other. Incorporate frequent reviews as you move onto the other 2 time frames.

Since you're going to be outside for a good percentage of the day, pay attention to the weather forecast. If the sun is out and you live in a warm climate, make sure to wear sunglasses and a hat to protect your face and neck from sun damage. Always wear close-toed shoes to protect your feet no matter what the weather. Wear bug repellant to avoid mosquito bites while you're picking up litter. When cleaning up trash, it is important to recycle in order to reduce the amount of waste in our environment. Many items are recyclable but should be placed in separate recycling bins. You can use 4 trash bags as you clean to separate litter into the following categories: metals, paper, plastic, and bottles. Metals include things like soda cans, soup cans, foil, and bakeware. Paper products should include cardboard, magazines, newspapers, and juice cartons. Plastic should only be recycled if it is clean. If you find plastic bottles with liquid inside, even if it's just a small amount, throw it away in a garbage bin. Plastic bags also should not be placed in recycling bins. Certain waste products should be avoided when you're picking up litter, as they may be harmful. If you see any of the following items, do not pick them up. Instead, report them to the local council or landowner: Needles Human waste Personal hygiene products (condoms, tampons, etc.) Electrical items Dead animals Bottles of liquid Unlabeled bottles Potentially dangerous chemicals
Summary: Dress appropriately for the weather. Use multiple bags to sort litter for recycling. Avoid and report hazardous materials.
