Celebrating Teachers’ Day isn’t always about doing something big.
Just by saying “thank you” you would have already made their day. But here are some neat ideas and stories to inspire YOU!
ACROSS MALAYSIA! In Sandakan, Sabah, we look at SM Sung Siew. Last year, Form 5 students celebrated their teachers by making short videos recreating funny and inspiring scenes that had happened in class.
Got something to film in your school? Here in KL, students from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas used to give their class teacher a pineapple to show their appreciation. Today, they give their class teacher canned pineapples!
If you know a school or teacher who has done amazing things to help improve teaching and learning using technology, do write to us at hello@ frogasia.com or use the hashtag #frogsuperstars to talk to us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. We just might feature them in next issue of The Lilypad! 14

IDEAS FOR YOU! With some colourful markers, you can make a simple homemade card for your teacher in just 10 minutes. You can even pick some flowers on your way home from school, or look for some in your garden. Wrap them up and bring those beauties to your teachers the next morning!
No matter what they are, teachers always love personal gifts. Sometimes, the best way to a teacher’s heart is through food! You and your friends can invite your teacher for lunch or dinner. If you have a knack for culinary arts cooking, you can find out what your teacher loves, and cook it for him or her!
Hint: Chocolate bars do not need cooking!
AROUND THE WORLD! India Senior students take up the responsibility to tutor younger students to appreciate their teachers.
Not so far away, in Iran Students offer their teachers flowers to honour the sacred profession.
United States Many schools celebrate this day with a variety of organised activities to honour their teachers, and everyone is full of gratitude! These celebrations can take a week, but can also continue throughout the entire month of May.

FOKUS PT3 [ Oleh Ramziah Razak ]
Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) yang digantikan dengan Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3) menimbulkan reaksi berbeza dari pelajar. Tetapi jika dilihat dari sudut positif, ia melatih kita berďŹ kir secara kritikal. Kita sudah terbiasa dengan amalan menghafal dan sudah tiba masanya kita melatih minda kita untuk berďŹ kir di luar kotak. Salah satu proses berďŹ kir secara kritikal adalah mewujudkan hujah untuk memberikan kesimpulan. Kita boleh memberi hujah dan kesimpulan untuk apa sahaja topik atau soalan tetapi untuk mendapat kesimpulan yang tepat, kita perlu mempunyai sebab yang kukuh.
Oleh itu: HUJAH
SEBAB
KESIMPULAN 16

Beberapa ratus tahun dahulu, semua orang mempercayai bumi ini berbentuk rata. Namun, terdapat pemerhatian yang mengelirukan manusia. Satu pemerhatian mendapati, kapal yang berlayar menjauhi daratan kelihatan semakin jatuh ke bawah ke dalam air, seolah-olah ia akan tenggelam.
HUJAH
Kapal kelihatan jatuh ke bawah apabila ia berlayar. Maka, permukaan bumi tidak rata.
Hujah tersebut adalah sebab kepada kesimpulan. Secara mudah, hujah tersebut boleh ditulis begini :
SEBAB Kapal kelihatan jatuh ke bawah ketika berlayar maka KESIMPULAN Permukaan bumi tidak rata Okey, berdasarkan contoh di atas, mari kita lakukan aktiviti menggunakan konsep hujah - sebab - kesimpulan. Baca soalan berikut dan cuba ďŹ kirkan satu hujah dan satu kesimpulan.
Jom kita mulakan! “ADAKAH KOMPUTER PERLU MEMPUNYAI EMOSI?� 17
