Based on the result of evaluation survey, the total mean of the designed
materials was 3.49 out of 4. It meant that the designed materials were well
designed and acceptable for teaching reading and writing using Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition CIRC for the eleventh grade students of
SMA Negeri 4 Yogyakarta. However, the designed materials still needed revisions
based on the respondents’ comments, suggestions and feedback. The writer also asked the respondents to give comments and suggestions
on the designed materials. There were four questions to gain respondents’ comments and suggestions. The first question was about the strengths and
weaknesses of the designed materials. The second question asked about the parts of the designed materials that need revising and improvements. The next question
was about the suggestions to improve the whole designed materials. The last question asked the respondents’ comments about the overall designed materials.
From the three respondents, the writer gained five points of feedback and comments. They were:
a. The overall designed materials were well designed and acceptable. The overall concept and format of the materials can support the objectives.
b. The pictures are interesting. They can motivate the students. The pictures are also supported by the appropriate colors not too many colors. However, the
pictures of Unit 5 in “Let’s Think First” were inappropriate since they were scary and too extreme. The writer should choose the neutral ones. Moreover,
there were no sources of pictures mentioned in all units. The writer then should include the sources for each picture.
c. The choice of the reading texts is good. The narratives that were used as models are good and interesting for the students.
d. Some instructions were too long and unclear. It made students feel difficult to understand the tasks. The instructions in each activity should be short and
clear. e. The reading It’s Time to Read and writing parts Write Your Story need
more consideration. The writer should modify it again.
