USING the newspaper as a resource in her classroom has been a longtime favourite of English language teacher Komathy Sukumaran.

Over her 30 years of teaching schoolchildren in Perak, she has engaged her pupils in various activities, from creating two-dimensional visuals such as monsters to producing three-dimensional objects like flower handicrafts and teddy bears – all while using The Star newspaper as material.
