Post-Teaching Suggestions 1. To the Students

VSS chart to each group and explained how to use the chart. In that occasion, they had to collect the key vocabularies that they thought that the words were important and the unfamiliar words. They also had to write the reason for selecting the words and the meaning if they already knew. During the activity, she walked around to control each group and answered some questions they asked. After filling the chart, the representative of each group was asked to write the selected words on the board involving their reason and meaning. Most of the groups wrote that they did not know the meaning yet for the selected words. However, there was one group writing “The word describes Broni’s dog species” and “The word describes Broni’s body part” for the selected words “Pomeranian and spread.” The discussion was continued by giving the clues for defining the unfamiliar words they selected into bahasa Indonesia. They were asked to guess the meaning of the words from the context of the text. For instance, they were asked to see the word “loudly” in which the Indonesian meaning was “dengan keras” for the unfamiliar word “bark.” It was related to the sound as well so that they could define it easier. The Indonesian meaning was “menggonggong” for the word “bark” in the sentence “It always barks loudly to the strangers.” The students were asked to read the sentences or paragraph more and more if they did not know the meaning yet. The next activity was answering some questions related to the text. Firstly, it was about choosing between true or false statements. In this activity, the students had to give the evidence of their answer by showing it from the text. If the statement was true, then they had to read it loudly. However, if the statement was false, they had to mention the correct one to the class. Secondly, the questions were about short answer questions in which the answer could be explicitly or implicitly stated in the text. The activity tested their reading comprehension after using the strategy. Most of groups answered correctly. Yet, they made a lot of noises during doing the activity and some of them were chatting with their friends. The time was almost up. The R reviewed the materials and asked the students if there were any questions. Then, she told that they would learn the new materials in the next meeting. The class was closed by saying “See you next week and Wassalamu’alaikum, wr.wb.” No. Date Time Class R C ET Ss : : : : : : : : Vignatte. 4 Implementation of Cycle 1I, meeting I Saturday, February 14 th 2015 09.55-11.15 VII C Researcher Collaborator English Teacher Students
