May 2014, the researcher continued to implement the action again. This meeting was the last meeting in
cycle 1 to deliver material about descriptive text. Also, the researcher accompanied by another English teacher Mrs. Kartinah to substitute Mr. Ian as
the collaborator since he was accepted as civil servant. In this meeting the researcher asked the students to gather in their jigsaw yet some students forgot to
whose group they were. Luckily, some students reminded them to their jigsaw group since they had written their member previously. The students then did the
task and it was discussed together then.
They did the last task independently. They had to fill the blank space with the correct word provided in the box and after that they did the true or false task.
The researcher gave 15 minutes to do it. After they finished it, they submitted R langsung membahas soal tersebut. R meminta tim A untuk menjawab
nomor 2, tim B nomor 3, tim C nomor 4, tim D nomor 5, dan tim E nomor 6 karena nomor satu sudah dijawab oleh R. R kemudian membahas satu per
satu jawabannya dan menunjukkan bukti informasi yang ada di text kepada agar mereka tahu.

and team E for number 6 since number 1 had been answered by the researcher. Next, the researcher discussed the answer one by one and showed
the information in the text so they would know later.

the classroom activity and the students’ enthusiastic increased. Though, in the implementation, this action was not applied perfectly. It was the students whose
made the grouping both jigsaw and expert group took quite long time and felt confused. It was supported by the interview transcript below.

Come here please. Mr. Yunus would like to talk to you for a while. How was about the English lesson? Did you understand?

Yes of course Sir. It was about a descriptive text which the function is to describe something and it uses presen tense
R: Ya pinter, tadi bingung gak pas kelompokan? You were good, were you confused in the grouping process?
I: Agak bingung sih pak, soalnya kelompoknya ganti-ganti. I was rather confused since the grouping was changed to some time
