could help them to share the ideas in comprehending of descriptive text and analyzing schematic structures of descriptive text. Besides, there are
some students didn’t focus in teaching learning process and some of them just passive during the lesson, so they still confuse about the material and
didn’t do the exercise well. From the reflecting phase above, the teacher and the writer must
have more efforts to develop students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text by using Contextual Teaching and Learning method. It
was needed to improve again in the next cycle. This effort was done in the next lesson plan of cycle 2.
3. Findings of Cycle II
a. Planning
The planning phase of second cycle was implemented into a lesson plan. In this phase, the writer modified the lesson planning based on the

and she also prepared the posttest 2.
b. Acting
The action of the cycle two was done on September 21
st
and 23
rd
2010. After reviewing the previous lesson, the teacher got students to read the text and gave them some minutes to identify and to look up the
unfamiliar words of the text by using their dictionary. And then, the students determined the schematic structures of the text by themselves.
Afterwards, the teacher asked students some questions related to the text. Then, the students were divided into five groups and asked to arrange
jumble paragraph into a good passage. And then, students are asked to find the schematic and linguistic features of descriptive text. After that, the
teacher asked to the leader of each group to present their answer. Then, discuss it together in the class. Next the teacher concludes about the

students who passed the Minimum Mastery Criterion – Kriteria
Ketuntasan Minimal KKM is 70.
d. Reflecting
In this phase, the teacher and the writer have evaluation of acting or action in cycle two. They have conclusion that the students more
understand about the materials; especially in schematic structure and linguistic feature of descriptive text than the acting in cycle one. Then, the
students have more understood to answer the question about those materials. Besides, the writer and teacher have satisfied of students’
reading comprehension of descriptive text by using Contextual Teaching
