E. Research Constraint
There was an obstacle during this research. The obstacle came from the external factor. It was related to the time. It was difficult to find the time in
conducting needs analysis. The Class VII D students were taught by a PPL student who had demanding schedule. As a result, the need analysis was conducted in the
middle of the break. However, the obstacle did not significantly influence the result of the product.
In the beginning, the students were suggested to answer the questions as honest as possible. Though the students could not answer all of the questions during the
break, the rest was done in the next break. Some students finished the questionnaire after school. The students were very cooperative. The lack of time
did not influence their answers.
