2. Course Grid

The next step of material development was writing course grid. The course grid was used as a guideline to design the units of the materials. When creating the course grid, the researcher considered some aspects such as the result of needs analysis, core competences, and basic competences. For the results of the need analysis, the course grid was developed by taking the highest percentage of the respondent. It was developed by following the core competences and basic competences for the tenth grade of vocational high school. The course grid consists of unit name and title, indicators, inputs, and activities. a. Course grid of Unit 1 The course grid of Unit 1 is derived from core competences 1, 2, 3, 4, and basic competences 1.1, 2.3, 3.9, 4.13, 4.14. The topic of this unit is experiences of attending art exhibitions. The unit focuses on recount texts about art exhibitions. The title of Unit 1 is “My Art Exhibition”. The title shows that the unit focuses on retelling experiences on attending art exhibitions. The focus of the grammar is simple past tense and time conjunctions. b. Course grid of Unit 2 The course grid of Unit 2 is derived from core competences 1, 2, 3, 4, and basic competences 1.1, 2.3, 3.10, 4.15. The topic of this unit is folktales from several countries. The unit focuses on narrative texts. The title of Unit 2 is “Stories Around The World”. The title represents the text type that will be learnt in the unit.
